Is AARP worth $16 a year?

[Fishhead]

Anyone a member?

If so, worth it?

[toastedbread01]

No. They offer free membership deals on a regular basis.

Where?

I started getting their stuff in the mail at 50yo. Signed up 3 yrs ago. They have good deals and a strong political lobby. I dont agree with everything they want but all and all +EV

Come on Fishhead. You make 10 times more everyday scalping and you are concerned about $16! Go get an old lamp from the dumpster and sell it at ebay or make a $16000 bet on a -10000 ML.

Is food cheaper?? Why are benefits??

If I can save $16, that can be money saved to buy you a pork chop and dessert.

Now you are talking like an 80 year old retiree. Do you ever have fun with your millions or you just watch it grow?

I use my card weekly for discounts.

Walgreen
Henry's Market
Several Chain Restaurants

Whenever I rent a car I use them.

Although I like AAA better for car Ins & Road Service

Fishead, at $16 a year, that is basically free.

Some people pay around that amount per month to join I think.


But it isnt as great of a deal as it once was.


Most people these days have free towing and roadside assistance from their car dealer for at least 6 years and sometimes lifetime. If they dont have it that way, then they certainly get free roadside assistance from their insurance company.


Hey Fish, why dont you throw and old-timer 100 SBR points?

I think we get a lot of this already with AAA ( but you have to know to ask for it).

Wife gets Dunkin donuts about 4 times a day ( I never do). They give you like 10% off, if you just ask for a discount.

Doug, am just going to throw this out there, but I dont think that your wife needs to be going to DK more than 1 time a day. Hell I am overweight and even I dont eat donuts more than once a week.

I hope that you meant to say 4 times a week. But on the other side of the coin, if she does go 4 times a day and weighs under 130 pounds, then let me know her secret.


I would have to assume that most women going to DD more than 1 time a day have to be over the 200 pound threshold. And they would be wearing a DD bra, but not for the reason that you want them to wear one. And even that threshold is being generous. Most guys dont go over the 150 pound threshold for their women

Where?

Walgreens occasionally gives out free AARP memberships. I believe there is a minimum purchase of $10 or something little.

[Willie Bee]

I really have no clue what our membership costs us each year, thought it was around $49 when we first hit our 50s and signed up. Queen Bee handles all of our monthly/yearly bill paying. She's the coupon, discount queen when it comes to saving a few dollars here and there. I know we got about $50 a night knocked off a resort we stayed at recently, and she uses the discounts at stores like Target all the time.

I've got no idea what their politics are all about, wouldn't matter if I did since I cannot recall the last donkey or elephant I voted for anyway.

[Fishhead]

I just sent away 16 bucks for my membership.............they are giving me a free tote bag, so what the hell.

I will give a review on AARP next year at this time, don't let me forget.

[Sam Odom]

16 WHOLE DOLLARS!!!! I pass-up a dozen scalps a day >16

Pass them along to this needy senior citizen then..........

[THE PROFIT]

See if SBR will put an AARP membership in the store LoL!. I'm just 34, so Im a few years away from givin' a *hit. My grandmother has a membership but I have no idea what the benefits are. They seem to be getting more political in recent years though, by what I've read about them.

[Naz18]

You get a discount at hotels also...
