This national advocacy group for older Americans has been sued numerous times for age discrimination. Now anyone can join and become a member of the organization, despite age.
I joined today for 5 years with an associate membership (for people under 50 years old.) This costs $63 ($12.60 per year.) With this membership, they do not mail you a membership card. However, you can print out a membership certificate which you can then present to receive the following beneficial discounts...
- 30 % off eyewear from Lenscrafters and Pearl Vision
- 30% off select accessories from Consumer Cellular
- 20 % off ADT home alarm installation
- $2 off ADT monthly monitoring fees
- 10% off car rentals
- 10 % off hotel stays
- 5% off monthly bill with Consumer Cellular (https://www.consumercellular.com/https://www.consumercellular.com/)
This is kind of a special deal not many people know about. To my knowledge, you can't sign up online. I would call in and set up your membership. You can call AARP at (888) 687-2277. People under age 50 are not eligible for all AARP discounts, but for a full list of membership and benefits, check out this page on their website...http://www.aarp.org/benefits-discounts/services_discounts_list/
I think this is worth it! There's no shame in this old lady's game!
