What will the new price be for AARP membership?
The standard one-year rate will be $20. The one-year rate with Automatic Renewal will be $15, renewing at $20 after the first year. We also have updated pricing for all multi-year terms. Among those, the three- year term is $55, and the five-year term is $79.
Why is AARP increasing the price of membership?
AARP is committed to continuing to provide members and people 50-plus with valuable benefits and services at an affordable price. This is our first membership price increase in more than 15 years, and it allows us to continue expanding our offerings to all, enhancing member services and advocating for important issues that matter to people 50-plus. The new price will help ensure that we can maintain the same high level of quality while continuing to offer exclusive discounts for members and benefits, resources, and programs that people 50-plus and their families rely on.
Are there any changes planned to membership benefits with the price increase?
AARP offers a wide range of discounts, resources and services that provide exceptional membership. As always, we will continue to add offerings, enhance programs and seek new benefits. We recently expanded value for members with the launch of the AARP Members EditionTM with special content for members only, expanded local and national discounts, and the enhanced AARP Now app.
When will AARP increase the price of membership?
The new membership pricing starts rolling out January 15, 2025.
AARP does not currently offer a lifetime membership as a standard option. The longest available membership term is five years, which offers the best value. You can see all current membership term options on our join page.
AARP was formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons. In 1999, the name was officially shortened to just AARP to reflect that many members continue to work and to better represent the full diversity of our 50+ membership.
