How to Cancel an AARP Membership on Your Own
Canceling your AARP membership is fairly simple to do. According to the AARP website, the options for canceling include:
- By mail. You may send a cancellation request by standard mail in a note to the following address:
AARP
3200 East Carson St.
Lakewood, CA 90712
Attn: Cancel Membership
- By phone: Call toll-free at 800-514-4564.
After the account is deactivated, they will send you a confirmation of your cancellation request. You will be refunded for the remaining balance on your account if you want a refund. You will get a refund via the payment method used to process the subscription.
Potential Problems When Canceling AARP
If you are canceling your AARP membership on behalf of a loved one who has passed, there is a different cancellation process you must go through. There is an online form that you must fill out. You can also call or request the cancellation in writing.
You will need to supply the name and address of the deceased member and either the birth date or membership number. AARP will also need your name, your relationship to the deceased member, and your email or home address to send confirmation of the cancellation request.
Thankfully, unlike some subscription services, AARP offers a refund of any unused time left on your membership and they will issue you a refund. This is unique because most subscription fees will simply cancel the auto-renewal but won't issue a refund. They will just let you continue to use the service until your membership expires.
What Are the Best Alternatives to AARP?
Although AARP is the most popular senior membership service to date, there are other discount services. Some think that the AARP has too much influence in Washington and refuse to join. After all, AARP is one of the biggest and most powerful lobbying organizations in Washington.
If you would like to explore alternatives, here are a few to keep in mind:
- American Seniors Association (ASA)
- Christ Above Politics (CAP)
- The Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC)
- The Seniors Coalition (TSC)
- 60 Plus Association
- The Alliance for Retired Americans
- The Alternative Association for Retired People (ALTARP)
