AARP Tracking Order Status

I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with Angela West, an AARP employee, who convinced me to sign up. I thought AARP was simply for seniors, but I was wrong. They have a great rewards program that I have utilized for books, discounts, and outings. Thanks to Angela West for representing the company well and convincing me to join!

I appreciate some of the information in AARP publications, and the online information. On the other hand, there's not much I would purchase through them. Their Medicare supplements are not an AARP product, but are through United Healthcare, not my favorite company. So don't think of it as AARP insurance. And other affiliates may not be well chosen either. The "points" you get from online visits are something of a joke to me, and I can't find anything worthwhile to do with them. When I traveled more, the AARP card did get me some motel discounts, and I suppose I should watch for other places where membership provides a small discount. But in general, their sponsored companies seem to offer less than what you can find elsewhere. Still, now and then the information published by AARP has a few useful tidbits, so the basic membership is worth it to me.

I am 84 years old and have been an AARP member for a long time. I have enjoyed the benefits of their supplemental insurance program for many years. A few years ago I decided to purchase automobile insurance from the Hartford insurance sponsored by AARP. My first year premiums were substantially less than what I wae paying which I soon learned was a promotional premium. After my first year the premium was increased by 22%. This year my premium was increased by a wopping 40%. ,(and that was with a perfect driving record and no claims }. I feel that this practice is a borderline scam. I don't feel that it is AARPs intent to take advantage of their senior citizens by sponsoring this program.

AARP is nothing but a scam! They do all kinds of research into all kinds of companies charities and they research it for seniors. They give the information to seniors and then claim that what they're doing is trying to get a better price or more or discount for the seniors. Then they want you to pay an annual membership. They don't tell you that the CEO makes over 1.5 million a year and that the benefits are not accepted everywhere it's hit and miss. This is the biggest money making scam against seniors I've ever seen in my life. Especially when you can do the research yourself and not every business will honor you being a senior and give you a discount. I can't believe this is still a legitimate money making business in the US. 😡

I used AARP tax service for the first time in 2024. They were extremely organized and fast. They file electronically and direct deposit. Believe it or not, my refund appeared in my bank account after just eight days. The accountant that I'd been using since 1995 moved too far away. AARP did it for free and saved me $200 that I normally pay. I'll definitely use them again.
