AARP benefits ???

[Corkpuller]

I signed on with AARP 7 yrs ago in order to lower my vehicle insurance.
In time, the rates went up to more than I could get it for from where I started.
It's a vicious circle, insurance, telephone, internet, cable and SAT TV,,,,,,etc.
They all start ya out reasonable then jack the prices up over time.

So, since I've not had vehicle insurance through AARP for a couple years now, what other benefits does being an AARP member get ya?
No interest in taking a trip on a Ship, don't fly anywhere, motel / hotel rates are really no cheaper than using another participant.

My membership ends this month.
I don't think I'll renew it.
Am I missing something about the benefits?

You'll be a card carrying member of the Old Folks Union... Your membership dollars can help some progressive candidates get elected...

yeah, well I wasn't going to get political about it.
Don't believe them and me are tuned the same.
Like I said, I joined for the insurance.

You'll gets lots and LOTS of spam begging you to come back. I never fell into their trap and they still keep plugging up my mailbox.

I looked at AARP when I turned 55 (23 years ago).
Decided it was really all about them collecting yearly dues, and selling insurance for profit.
Never joined, and don't feel that I have missed anything.
Have used USAA for auto insurance for 57 years.

I just got a bank account with them but haven't looked into any of their rates.

I am 68 YO,, and have always had AARP version of Medicare health insurance,,
I but, I never needed to be an AARP member,,

The health insurance is great,, I see the literature all the time,,
I have never seen a benefit to AARP membership,,

as far as hotels,, tell them you work for some major company,, they always give me the "AARP rate"
