I recently purchased art supplies and asked if they gave a discount.
When she said yes I wasn't sure whether to use my student dsicount or the AARP
I never joined but I think I have a card. Does it cost to join?

My SO joined a year ago and we both enjoy the magazine, they have some great discounts as well. We've saved more than we spent so we're pleased.
(Zen - I think it was something like $15 to join??)

You can use the card for discounts at hotels too. It can save you a bit of money.

Yup, we used it to stay in a small boutique hotel in Chicago and saved $24 a night.

They started sending me stuff when I was in my 20's. I finally got them to stop. Now that I'm in my 50's I've never heard from them.

AARP mail goes straight into the vertical filing cabinet, never to be seen again.
It IS an insurance company. Check into what they lobbied for in the health care bru-haha.
I don't want to offend anyone here with my politics anymore so... I'll just leave it at that.
BTW, if you get a USA cycling membership, which I did, you can get a preferred rate for your medical insurance. I signed up for that. And no pre-exisiting condition on my part. It was much cheaper than the COBRA. I think, I'm going to be a happy camper. You can also get a family plan. I took a higher annual deductable so my monthly rate is about half the cost of COBRA.
I'm going to be adding dental for $47/yr. also through USA cycling. For what I need, its a pretty good deal.
You can also get a hotel discount with AAA or with USA Cycling membership. Get discounts for prescription glasses, rental cars...
Hope this helps.
