Shame on AARP for associating with UnitedHealthCare
Shame on AARP for any type of partnership with United HealthCare.
UHC is the WORST bunch of do-nothings and crooks in the medical world.
Nothing but denied claims, multiple attempts at reimbursements and very poor customer service.
I am definitely NOT signing up for this waste of money in 2027 and don't see much benefit from AARP.

As a member of aarp
As a member of aarp, they sent me an offer for a discount to Walmart + subscription. I followed all prompts, they had my credit card number, but when you press to enroll it says something went wrong. I called Walmart and their chat line said no discount exists. If you search for an aarp discount on the Walmart site, it states one does not exist
After several long, long wait times trying to reach aarp, I was told it does exist, like the e-mail says it did. Walmart says it does not ?? I give up on aarp. Very arrogant and unfriendly on the phone. Members are just an annoyance to them. Try dealing with people with some respect!

AARP = Overpriced Insurance, obnoxious donation mailings, etc.
AARP claims to protect the elderly; all the while financially preying on them.

When I went on Medicare 7 years ago
When I went on Medicare 7 years ago, I chose United Healthcare for my Medigap Insurance because United Healthcare is endorsed by AARP. I was under the mistaken impression that AARP had the interest of their customers, senior citizens, as a top priority. Two years ago, when I was informed by United Healthcare that my Medigap insurance would be increasing to over $290 a month, I decided to check into other policies. Since this is Medigap every company must offer the same coverage based on the Medigap plan (i.e. A, B, C, ... N). I contacted two companies and was offered the same coverage under plan N for $130 LESS than I was going to be paying United Healthcare. It is now two years later and I am still paying $110 less than I would have been paying United Healthcare 2 years ago. United Healthcare was paying AARP a royalty so they can be the "recommended" Medigap and Medicare Advantage providers. Three years ago, this royalty came to roughly $875 Million for the year. In 2024, United Healthcare has agreed to pay AARP $9 Billion for these rights for 12 years instead of a percentage royalty each year. So, if you are currently using United Healthcare for Medigap or Medicare Advantage, you should check out other companies like Cigna, Mutual of Omaha, Humana, or other companies depending on what is available in your state. As long as you can get coverage, you will save a bundle.
Also, CVS just entered a royalty agreement to allow Oak Street Health to be named AARP's trusted care provider of choice. The terms of this agreement have not been released but if you are under the impressions that AARP is looking out for your best interests as I once believed, forget it. AARP works with the highest bidder, regardless of how that affects their customers.

This organization is a scam and a rip…
This organization is a scam and a rip off. How sad is it that they say they're for the elderly to make life easier and offer helpful discounts and deals. I'm sorry that I'm even subscribing to them the only thing keeping me paying for it is a good dental plan. I do not recommend anyone buying into this it's a lie and it's ridiculous. I purchased a Subway Gift Card a few weeks ago great deal, $20 for a $25 card. Went into two different Subway stores in my town and they would not accept it. When I contacted AARP two times they said contact the vendor that's not their problem and so on. This is really ridiculous what kind of like an organization is supposed to be for elderly people while they're just ripping you off and making lots of money. Do not I repeat do not subscribe ever

If I could put Zero I would
If I could put Zero I would. AARP Travel claims all sorts of benefit discounts when in reality we paid $245.00 more for our week than my sister. She booked with hotel directly. I went through AARP with it's many claims of discounts and savings. When I called to ask AARP why the hotel check out bill was $700 and AARP took $945 from our VISA he said it was for the Expedia booking fees that AARP collects. So while members report poor value, service issues, and frustration with pricing. There are hundred's of complaints about the program’s execution, misleading wording but its lawyers keep the tiny print so vague it does not constitute fraud. Just Beware!
