Today I applied for, and ironically was issued, my AARP card. I did it online, and really believed it was going to tell me to come back in 11 days when I was 50, but it did not, so I am IN! Of course it is a honor realizing that I very well may be the youngest AARP member at this point, but when they asked for my wife’s name to send her a card too, I guess little Miss 35 is it. In good faith however, I will NOT use it for anything for those 11 more days.
But I was curious as to its benefits, so after I was in I checked some of them out…particularly the travel. I travel a lot with my job, and any discounts would be welcome for sure.
Oddly enough, as I checked, I found that us “old people” sometimes get a raw deal. The AARP discount was not all I thought it would be, particularly with hotels. All I can say is thank God I am not 50 for another 11 days!
Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
