AARP Help

All I get is “Bad Request.” No spin available. What a waste. Typical

After I enter my CC info, I get a "Processing" screen that never goes away. Tried multiple times with  Firefox AND Edge browsers.

I recently traveled to Seattle and needed a rental car. I shopped with the AARP discounted rates from both Budget and Avis. The rates, if they were not  discounted as claimed, and were higher than rates I could get shopping on my own through other car rental company websites.I saved more money by using Expedia.AARP should review the arrangements with these companies, and revoke their endorsements if the facts and promised discounts don't prove to be what is claimed.K A Bolin

When you follow the links for the free national hearing test included in the recent newsletter, it requests that you complete a survey and then issues a link to the test, but the link does not work.  So now I am on a email lists for hearing aids I guess.  

I just had a weird experience with my AARP app. First, I was logged on via desktop browser.  While still logged on, I opened my AARP app and tried to go  through the logon process.  It just displayed the rotating circle, never finishing the logon.  I eventually logged off my desktop and then tried the AARP app, and it worked.  Is this some kind of security feature? Next, in the Android app I clicked on things like "My Account", but all I got was a blank screen: Then, I tried going to "My Games" and got an error message:  I'm using Google Fi VPN on my phone.  This has never been an issue, before.  Granted, it's been quite a few months since I last used my Android app for accessing AARP.  But is there a fix for this, other than disconnecting my VPN?

My spouse and I took the safe driver 4 hour class Sept 2025 because I thought we would have a discount on our AARP Hartford auto insurance.  The class was helpful, but the “discount” from Hartford auto is non-existent.   We paid $40 for 2 of us to take the class and our total auto insurance discount from Hartford was only $38.00 for a year. I’m thinking I wasted a lot of time doing the online signup for the class, trying to figure out how I get our certificats properly entered into to Hartford website, calling Hartford to see if they got our certificates and applied them to our account, and taking the time to write this comment. 

Is there a post somewhere on AARP where folks can connect if looking for appropriate age/chemistry room mates? Similar lives and interests. According to Google there is and I can see one but it asks you to signin to post and when i do i get dumped on AARP'S homepage and I can't locate the post. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated! Cheers.

As a newer member, I find AARP to be pretty great, and I'll continue to be a member. But I have a criticism of some of the deceptive and manipulative marketing tactics used by either AARP or AARP-sanctioned partners. These are: 1) Marketing mail that use cards that appear at first like a gift card of value, but really are just print outs of the "savings" you could get if you buy the insurance, etc. 2) Fake polls.   An example is answering poll questions like, "Do you support Social Security?".   These are blatantly just to get clicks, and are not good faith gathering of information. Using these tactics on a population of people with increased susceptiblity of deception isn't a good look.  I'd prefer AARP have a set of standards for marketing that prevented the low-brow tactics. Again, overall great, just offering criticism if it helps.   

Why do I have to keep watching the same stupid Humpty Dumpty commercial over and over again when I play games. This thing is 3 1/2 minutes long. I don't need a mattress but even if I did this would tick me off.

The AARP 1040 Tax Calculator is a useful tool for estimating taxes. Does anyone know when AARP will be updating this calculator with the 2025 tax code changes that were passed this year. 

Hi its the video  " Ease Your Pain with Better Sleep"    it shows that I have viewed it but it does NOT show in my transaction list.. Instead it lists a video about pickleball.  I have watched ALL the pickleball videos thinking there is a crossover tech problem but still I cannot redeem for a CVS gift card. Its that last video... no matter how many times I watch it  it doesnt register in the account  and so I havent been able to meet all the requirements of that Extra Credit list "Sleep Your Way to a Better You"    Thank you for reading

This happens every month.  I go out to redeem an earned rewards.  The site makes me take some quizzes or watch some videos.  It says I completed the tasks but when I go to make the redemption it tells me I need to complete the tasks.  I try to do it AGAIN, and it tells me I've already completed it.  I then go back to make the redemption and yet again it says I need to complete the tasks.  Its an annoying endless circle.  Whoever is in charge of the rewards program needs to be replaced.  I've been asking AARP to fix their broken site for over two years.  I get a lot of lip service, but apparently they are too busy getting their commissions from hawking other products to hire someone who actually knows how to build a working website.  When my membership expires I won't be renewing it.  Your rewards program is nothing short of a bait and switch.  BROKEN, BROKEN, BROKEN!  A total waste of our time.

As anyone can tell from reading the posts in this community, the AARP discounts are not always discounts. A “discount” depends on the definition applied by the issuer. AARP is a great organization, however, they, like any club, must depend on income in order to survive. To attract and hold membership clubs and organizations offer discount packages that are probably marketed to the organization’s administration as deal for their membership with a kickback for the organization. AARP recently sent out an offer for a 10% discount on GE appliances. The link brings you to a third-party page, (possibly the package issuer site), then to a GE page where you must register before access is permitted. You must then agree not to divulge the special pricing. Ultimately, you will not see the final price until a product is in your shopping cart. All this spy drama to give the impression that you are receiving a super-special deal. You’re not. With all discounts applied, the special AARP in-the-ca

Although I keep accumulating AARP points, there's nothing that I want to exchange them for. Anything that I might pconsider costs far more than the number of points that I'm likely to accumulate in my lifetime. What is the benefit of this program?  Does anyone see any value in it? Most of what I can purchase with my existing points is merely a teaser to get me to buy more expensive products from the seller.  If you want to continue this program, at least offer something worthwhile, or even better, give me a discount on AARP's programs that I use.

The instructions are to go to My Settings/Preferences/Private Messenger tab to turn on private messaging. Following the instructions, I do not get the Private Messenger tab to be able to turn on. How can I rectify this?

 I Just want to get an AARP PHYSICAL membership card MAILED (NOT Emailed) to my address. Not interested in E-Cards.  Not interested in the App.  Will never load the AARP App on my phone.  This has proven to be daunting! I live in the physical world and I just want to receive my physical membership card by surface mail to my address.  Not planning to review my membership due to this!S.A. 

INCOMPETENCE MASQUERADING AS A SCAM #1: Expedia-AARP.com sent me an email offering a 10% discount for a hotel stay. Book before 12/31/25 and stay anytime before the cutoff date in 2026. I booked a 10-day hotel stay -- but there's nowhere to enter the coupon code (PACKYOURBAGS) on the reservation or payment page.  I attempted to resolve this with their chat representative. She referred me to the "terms and conditions" page which plainly states that there's a link to click on the reservations page to enter the coupone code. There is no such link. There is no option anywhere on Expedia-AARP.com to enter a coupon code when booking a hotel. INCOMPETENCE MASQUERADING AS A SCAM #2 Harford Insurance offered a free travel tote in return for requesting a quote and providing an email address. I did so several months ago. No travel tote. This is low-level, used-car-salesman level lying. MY RESPONSE: My AARP membership renews next month. I've turned off automatic

  I am livid! The verification method requires you type in a sentence on the same device you enrolled in the course. I used my phone. I got through 90% of the stupid course and it decided it couldn't verify me! 90%?!?!?!? It made me start all over! I am furious. My brain is f%^&ing numb! I want my freaking money back, what a ripoff and waste of 6 hours of my life! NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!! 

Ever since my renewal a few months ago, I have not been receiving the magazine or bulletin. I have also gone on the app to check each for status and have no luck navigating that info. Please advise ASAP.Thank you

The name you have on the temporary membership card you sent me recently is wrong.  It is impossible to reach AARP by phone.  Howdo I get it fixed?

Is there a television set that is friendly to seniors, i.e. does not have a complicated remote and initial screens that have all kinds of unnecessary icons?

Hello I am wondering what I’m being charged for? I did not give authorization to withdraw from my account, cancel whatever it is and refund, thank you!!!

I just found a new AARP Member Benefit that is great for me (I gave up driving when I realized I was unable to be attentive and feared I might hurt someone)! Have been using Walmart+ since it was introduced, and just as I'm up for renewal, AARP offered "$20 Off a Walmart+ Annual Membership". I completed the offer and my Walmart+ account showed it applied within minutes, so I can vouch for this offer. hth

 I live in a small town and rarely travel. I believe I have used my membership once or twice in all the years I have had it. Apparently, membership is only valuable if you live in a large metropolitan area. Yes, I know there are online benefits, such as quizzes, games, and videos. I am talking about those within the community. Am I missing membership benefits? I am seriously thinking of cancelling my membership even though it is only $20/year.

I booked a hotel room through Expedia for a June 11th one night stay and prepaid.  I then went online and changed the reservation to arrive on June 10th instead and was charged again for a one night stay.  When I arrived at the hotel there was no reservation for the 10th.  I was told there was still one for the 11th.  I asked to cancel that and was told that Expedia would need to cancel it. Soooo I had to pay the hotel directly for the one night stay on the 10th. So I ended up paying 3 times. Per the hotel Manager I could not cancel the incorrect/revised reservation for the 11th, that Expedia would have to call to do that. I call Expedia immediately and they cancelled the stay for the 11th.  After returning from my trip I called Expedia to get a refund for both the 10th and the 11th.  I was told they would review the information and get back to me within 72 hours. I did that drill at least 4 times and was never contacted.  I call again and finally got
