I wish to report AARP for sending materials that suggest that our membership is expiring and urging us to renew membership immediately when in fact our membership does not expire until Nov 2013.

I too am irritated by membership renewal notifications that are sent over a year early. Why don't the notifications have dates on them showing when membership is expiring? Mine does not expire until November 2013 but the renewal form says I must reply by February 24, 2013. Can I trust an organization that operates in this way? |

I also was annoyed to get a renewal notice last year shortly after I signed up the first time. Now I notice that my membership is expiring at the end of February 2013, but not a peep from AARP! Maybe now they know I'm not a sucker, they don't want me anymore. |

I checked my account before I sent this complain to make sure I have the information correct. I am getting tired of receiving renew notice way far in advance of the due date. I wonder if AARP who is suppose to help seniors is really running a renewal scam. I am planning to end my membership to the AARP if I keep getting renewal notices 5 to 6 months in advance. How many seniors will just trust and send the money in and then you will send another renewal each month. |
