AARP automated assistant does not work well. They have no connection to their contracted towing service providers once they establish the service request. Their online help and tracking system does not exist. It is very difficult to talk to a human at AARP. I asked to speak to a supervisor yesterday. I am still waiting a day later.AARP

I have a family member that passed away and I tried to cancel their **************** with Delta Dental a branch of AARP. Delta Dental tried to blame AARP , but Delta Dental is a separate company. They refused to work with me, told me to call AARP. They kept me on hold at every level, transfer me four times (4) , and hung the phone up and I had to start over again. Delta Dental kept the payment even after my family member passed away and refused to refund payments. This is a Prime Example of how BIG BUISNESS can do anything they want. They are taking money from a dead person that CAN NOT AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THEIR SERVICE, YET THEY TAKE PAYMENT ANY WAY. What is White Collar Crime if not the Power to Push the Individual Around.AARP

Dear ****************,
Thank you for your comments. I researched your AARP membership account and found that there was no premium linked to the membership offer to which you responded online in April 2023. You did chat with an AARP agent on October 25, 2023 who offered you a selection of all our available premiums and you stated that "it was something different" than what she offered.
AARP accommodates the reasonable requests of our members and we're sorry we weren't able to satisfy you. We hope you will reconsider membership again in the not-too-distant future.
Sincerely,
*****

There is some misleading information in the advertising of aarp, do there are some small savings almost amounts to peanuts and I do thank you for your little bit of saving.But when it comes to insurances? forget about it. in fact aarp is the most expensive! Im the best driver, I have no accidents or any traffic violations for more years than I can remember Not even a parking ticket for at list 45 years, my credit is the best, and yet I had a quote from ******** which is the most expensive from all other insurance companies! why? I drive less than 5 thousand miles a year! Your driving skills test saves again nothing they jack up the price then they make you a big favor with couple of dollars what a joke, Why are you lying to your constituents. As you say saving of 500 or 400 dollars and you list the companies that you are less expensive, another lie, I have priced from some of the insurance companys you mention, and all of them without exception are less expensive than you! this is very misleading! Or maybe what I really thought your serving the rich people who can effortlessly pay such prices, yes aarp does some good but when it comes to the most important things in the quality and affordability your the most expensive. you offer no competition with other insurance companies basically its a monopoly, this is why I think you are misleading and catering mostly to the elites! And not to the largest of your constituent's like me, I joined to save on your insurance, I got stunned with the difference in cost so really when it comes to big savings? You offer none, shame on you misleading people who really could use some help when it comes to the more expensive things in life. Why?!AARP

Therefore, you are strongly encouraged to evaluate and determine based upon your own needs and circumstances, whether a product is valuable to you.

This organization has to be one of the worse grifters out there. They constantly sent me renewals even though I had 2 years left on my subscription. They probably hope you cant remember anything and will renew. I bought Hartford Home and ************** through them. I had a terrible experience when I had to make a claim for my home. The insurance is much higher than their competitors. They constantly raise the rates. I wish Id seen all the thousands of horrible reviews about ******** before dealing with them. Despite the bad reviews AARP continues to tout this company. Also purchased UHC health care supplemental. Through AARP. The premiums are higher than their competitors and their website is terrible. Good luck trying to call for help. Im going to find other companies for insurance as soon as possible. Please look around before buying anything associated with them. Dont make the same mistake thinking AARP is working to help the senior population and working in your best interest. AARP has left me feeling absolutely disgusted.AARP

I joined aarp and was supposed to recieve a free $25 ******* gift card. When I inquired about it they said I will get a bag. I have not received the gift card or the bag. I had joined some years back and was supposed to recieve a gift that I also never received. I didn't join just to get the free gifts but I do feel like this is false advertising.AARP

Joined aarp (I'd like to spell it alittle differently) nine years ago, immediately bombarded with junk mail, email, spam calls soliciting from their 'associates and business partners', everything from cars to crayons for my grandkids.Terminated my membership, and to call/email many times to get them to STOP sending, calling, emailing me. WHAT A BIG WASTE!!!Go to AMAC.AARP

AARP was supposed to deduct premiums from my wifes account for her policy and my account for mine. I have talked to aarp reps 4 separate times and they still take all the money out of one account. These people would put a screen door on a submarine.AARP

Paid to to become a member of AARP for the rewards purchase gift cards that were never received. My credit card has been charge multiple times with over ***** dollars in charges when asked to speak with a supervisor and escalate my concerns I was told they would generate a message to tech support and management and I would receive a call back . Customer ********************** was of no help ,had no answers and were rude. I have not heard back anything from anyone from aarp. I would never recommend this company and now have to involve my credit card company with this mess!AARP

Dear **************,
One of our ************* Ombudsman team members emailed you on July 5. There appears to be a mis-match in your credentials (name, address, etc.), prohibiting the charges and purchases from being completed. Your cards were never charged. You can respond directly to the email from our teammate.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
