Just cancelled AARP membership-they will send refund

[Ruby Romaine]

I just spoke to some very weary sounding customer service reps at AARP. I'll bet they are getting 1,000's of cancellation requests. They said they would send a refund for the 1/4 year left on my membership.
Please hit them where it hurts! In the pocketbook!

1. I never joined them

I use to send back their envelope with a message to never send me another but they just kept coming. They finally stoped. I didn't like supporting a special interest group. The government should be for all citizens not just those who can pay for it.

2. GOOD

Maybe they will realize they made a serious mistake

4. We did that just this afternoon

after we sent them a scathing piece of mail and let them know over the phone just what we thought of them.

5. What the hell did they do?

This is the American Association of Retired People, right?

[Ruby Romaine]

8. Yup- I'm not retired.

I'll never be able to retire--I joined to get discounts.

[RebelOne]

10. Me, too. I'll probably be working until the day I die.

But you do get some very good discounts through AARP. Mainly, car insurance is a lot cheaper. But they just raised my rates, because they said they had a 10% increase. I am going to shop around and see if I can get a lower rate with other insurance companies. If so, I will be cancelling my membership with AARP. Can't cut off my nose to spite my face and cancel because I don't agree with their policy on the health issues.

6. What is AARP supporting that's causing this?

Just curious... are they supporting bushie* on the medicare "reform"?

[Ruby Romaine]

7. yup!

They are supporting * & spending 7 million on ads.
