Common AARP Customer Complaints

Customers searching for AARP customer service often need help with:

  • Membership renewals and automatic renewal questions
  • Canceling or changing an AARP membership
  • Billing concerns or unexpected membership charges
  • Missing membership cards or replacement card requests

AARP Membership, Billing, and Renewal Help

If you need help with an AARP membership charge, renewal notice, cancellation, or automatic renewal question, contact AARP Member Support at 1-888-687-2277. If the issue involves a third-party product or service promoted through AARP, ask AARP whether the issue must be handled directly by the partner company.

For billing disputes, keep copies of your renewal notice, bank or card statement, confirmation email, cancellation request, and any written response from AARP or the partner company.

AARP Partner Offers and Third-Party Services

Some AARP-branded offers are provided by partner companies. These may include insurance, wireless, travel, financial, dining, retail, and health-related offers. If your complaint involves one of these services, AARP may be able to provide general guidance, but the company providing the product or service may need to handle billing, claims, cancellations, or account-specific support.

AARP Fraud Watch Network Help

AARP’s Fraud Watch Network is a consumer resource for scam prevention, fraud alerts, and victim guidance. If you received a suspicious call, email, text, sweepstakes notice, tech-support alert, or payment request, call the AARP Fraud Watch Network Helpline at 1-877-908-3360.

If you believe money was taken from your bank account or credit card without authorization, contact your bank or card issuer immediately in addition to contacting AARP or the company involved.

How to Escalate an AARP Problem

If your AARP issue is not resolved after your first contact, take these steps:

  1. Save your membership number, renewal notice, receipt, and any written support messages.
  2. Write down the date, time, and phone number you used to contact AARP.
  3. Ask whether your issue is being handled by AARP or by a partner company.
  4. Request written confirmation of any cancellation, refund, renewal change, or account update.
  5. If the complaint involves a charge, compare your AARP account information with your bank or card statement.
  6. If you believe a charge is unauthorized and the issue is not resolved, contact your bank or card issuer for dispute options.

Did AARP get too big. I think so!

September 6, 2016

I am the administrator for my brother’s estate and while clearing his name in his credit report I found that Consumer Cellular is on this creditor’ reports. I had cancelled his account in 2011 and they agreed on this but they kept charging my brother until now September 2016. When I contacted Consumer Cellular who is sponsored by AARP they told me that the $10.00 a month they charged my brother was for emergencies only not for personal calls. They kept charging him although he was dead. No attempt was made to call him on his new line. When AARP sends us a newsletter it asks us if we as seniors have any info on scams and I’m letting AARP know and all Seniors out there that Consumer Cellular is a scam and AARP should stop backing them up on TV and on their newsletter. When I tried to contact AARP their newsletter does not have a friendly customer number for those seniors that do not have a computer. Shame of them for supporting a scam vendor like Consumer Cellular. Get out there and smell the real scammers. Did AARP get too big. I think so!

What a joke. Sham, Shame on AARP

June 2, 2016

Tried to join through military.com and advertised a military discount for vets. I guess they wouldn’t recognize me because I was a woman. I have the same military-issued form 214, V on my driver’s licence. And I was the first women ever assigned back then to a combat support squadron. What a joke. Sham, Shame on AARP
