want me to pay them money to join.

AARP might be a decent deal for those who are non-militare retirees.
Meantime, they waste a lot of money by not filtering candidates which
results in a small rise in their fees for those who do use it.

A deal for what?  A Medicare supplement?  Which I'm not yet eligble for,
BTW.  That's after I pay them for an annual subscription to a magazine
which gives me coupons to go out to dinner, for travel, hotel stays. In
places nowhere near where I live.  I don't go out to diner.  I don't
travel.  No need to stay in a hotel.  But they expect me to pay them for
a membership.  NOPE.  AARP is useless.

I once checked into the price of auto insurance for Travelers
and their price was higher than what I was paying at that
time.  AARP is now just a humongous lobby.
But anytime you get mailings from them or anyone that you
don't want to receive their junk mail there's a solution.
At least there's a solution if they include a postage
paid return envelope.  I use a yellow highlighter and cross
out my name and address.  Then in a bright colored ink pen
I will write "Please remove my name AND address from your
mailing list."  Put that in the postage paid return
envelope and that junk mail from them will soon stop.
Not only did they have to pay postage to send that letter
out, they're now having to pay for the return postage and
they've made no sale.
