AARP is a membership club that provides adovcacy for older citizens and sells a variety of financial products.
Although the organization bills itself as non-partisan, its advocacy efforts are decidedly in favor of the Democrat party on matters ranging from Social Security to national health care spending.

Dues are more like $15 per year. That gets you access to a whole lot of discounts (mainly hotel and travel) and they allow you to purchase insurance - either health or auto - at decent rates. Not always the best, but at least a decent price for comparison.
Then they bombard you through the mail with their social agenda and mailings. Which you can choose to read or ignore. At worst, the discounts are good.

Sure, there are dues, it's cheap! Like $40 a year, and you get a magazine subscription for it, and discounts at a bunch of places like hotels.
It's just a club, like AAA.

If you give me your email address (which I promise not to divulge, rent, lease or sell etc.!), I will forward their online newsletter. I am in India but somehow am getting it because I signed up some time ago. That online newsletter is free. But regular membership has some fee, I don't remember that now. I find their newsletter useful.
