Di Member Registered: 11/15/05 Posts: 2798 Loc: NM, transplant from NJ	After thinking about this. I called AARP to see if we HAD to be a member in order to still get our great rates at The Hartford for our house and car ins. They said no...so, I'm not renewing. I will miss the magazine and newspaper. but their cost has gone up so much..used to be $3/year..now it's $15/year!! Time for a BWS magazine!! Anyone else backing down from AARP? _________________________ Southwest Body Gear here ~ NEWLY updated website with many new products!

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	I too dropped my membership in AARP, which I kept thinking I needed it to stay with Hartford. The AARP magazine is okay but that newsletter is useless, even to thin to wrap garbage in. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

We're canceling our memberships too. My husband got LTC, but I'm denied due to cancer, so what's the use?

It's CARP but they are different but they are a lobby group but not with the same financial base as AARP. Also you have to realize our health care system is different in Canada. Canadians do not look to such an organization to buy top-up services for medical care, dental. Discounts for "seniors" already exist for bus fare, rail fare here in Canada right across the country. Too bad nothing for airflights. _________________________ http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/ (How cycling leads to other types of adventures, thoughts) http://velourbansism.wordpress.com

Anne Holmes Boomer in Chief Registered: 03/12/10 Posts: 3212 Loc: Illinois	Hi Di, Interesting that you are not renewing your AARP membership... They've just sent me my renewal paperwork, and I think my current membership expires next month... Are there things you'd like to see BWS or NABBW offer you that you currently get through AARP - or CARP for you Canadians... As the new CEO ("Boomer in Chief") of the NABBW, I am about to launch a survey to find out how we can serve you even better than we have... So why wait for the survey to come out: Tell me what you are looking for. I AM LISTENING!!

Anno Member Registered: 09/15/05 Posts: 4434 Loc: Minneapolis Minnesota	I didn't renew, either. I actually did not mind the raise in rates. Like any good organization, they need financial support. But I just didn't find that much value. As a lobby group they are great, but the magazine was just another piece of fluff. Anne, I can't wait for the survey. You sound really pumped and ready for this new adventure. _________________________ Follow our story of living, loving and laughing with a debilitating disease: http://www.multiplesystematrophyandshy-drager.blogspot.com
