They also negotiate discounts for their members on various insurance products and consumer goods and travel industry sectors, among many other related activities. | ||

Joined: December 2006 Posts: 6268 Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | Originally posted by muzza: American Association of Retired Persons is a United States-based non-governmental organization and interest group that is socialistic and tries to represent us ol' farts within our government. And for us foreigners... AARP? They started out as a grass-root organization and then found out there is a profit to be had. Most, if not all of their 'products' can be found cheaper elsewhere. I'd rather join the OFC than the AARP... Oh, what? ... ummm never mind... | ||

Joined: September 2003 Posts: 9301 Location: south east Michigan | My insurance guy asked me if I was an AARP member. I gave him the whole shpeel about wanting nothing to do with it. Then he told me that if I was a member I could save $300 a year on my auto insurance. So... I am now a proud member. Check with your insurance agent. Your welcome. | ||
