Who does the AARP thing?

[Mikej]

Just curious seeing as I'm getting up there, 63, and thought I might get some benefit from it. More interested in some savings on things, and realize I'll probably get a bunch 'O crap I won't read much.

Pro-gun folks recommend AMAC.
Other than that, I know nothing.

 

[GOG]

They are anti 2A and I don't think they're too keen on some other stuff in the Constitution either. They could offer me free money and I still wouldn't patronize them.

 

[Mister Bisley]

What both those guys said

 

[Cerberus Group]

I won't do AARP...AMAC for me.

 

[Lefty60]

Thought about joining, they don't seem to have any discounts/deals that would benefit me and while checking them out I discovered that I don't like their political views!

 

[cigars]

Yeah AMAC definitely.

Your mail box will fill up to no end as they will "share" (sell) your info with third party advertisers.

They played a large role in getting Obamacare passed... so they could sell supplemental health insurance. Frak them... if you're gonna join a retired citizens' lobby, go AMAC!

 

[Mephistopheles]

Sold out the seniors they were supposed to be helping.

 

[Nick Burkhardt]

Does AMAC provide discounts?

 

[Mikej]

Well then....! Never heard of AMAC, that I remember (age thing maybe), but looked 'em up. Looks just like AARP, without the far leaning. I would imagine they sell your info just like AARP does though? Everybody sells info and fills your mail box I imagine. I don't believe I mind the USPS mail box filling, after all, it helps keep the post office alive. Spam is another thing though, but I guess you can opt out some of it. I'll search A little deeper into AMAC, it looks to be the same price.

 

[Nick Burkhardt]

Yeah, but AMAC will sell you a walker with a built in holster.

 

[Cerberus Group]

Yeah, but AMAC will sell you a walker with a built in holster.

I have something to look forward to...2nd amendment benefits!

 

[DirectDrive]

Yeah, but AMAC will sell you a walker with a built in holster.

What's the world coming to ?
First it was the free, James Bond built-in MG-42 and now we have to pay for the cheesy holster model ?

I agree and disagree with some of the opinions expressed here. My wife joined and gets the magazine (publication). I glance at it as I sit since it always seems to be in whichever bathroom I choose. Yeah it leans left, but not radically and yeah they supported ACA. But it does have a decent amount of info, non-political and non-promotional, that I've occasionally found useful. And I'm pretty sure we've never received any unwanted solicitations or other stuff because they sold our info.

 

[po18guy]

AARP members might as well send cash directly to George Soros. I joined AMAC and have no regrets.

Or, at NWF should I say No Regerts?

Appreciate the input Mr Rich. I don't really have a reason discredit any opinion here as I've got a lot of respect for 95% of the members. However when people post a scathing review of something it would be helpful if there was some proof, not necessarily even written proof, of the accusation. Does AARP pay Soros? Is he the editor of the magazine/web site? Something?

Bunch of old goats around here. Do you guys get a discount on your grand slam at Denny's also?

So how much of a discount is it ?

Geezers shouldn't be eatin' that stuff.
