AARP: Free Travel Kit Plus Tons of Discounts

Since my husband turned 50 in March (shh, don’t tell him I told you that) we have received AARP information in the mail.  At first I was like, oh my gosh, we are old enough to get AARP info, yikes.  But, then I started to find out that there are really great benefits to being an AARP member and at $16/year, the cost of the membership will pay for itself quickly.  Right now, you can also get a Free Travel Kit when you join.

Here are some of the discounts you can get and honestly the list is very long so I’ll just name a few.  I really had no idea how much you could benefit from the membership:

  • Borders: 10% off paperback & 35% off AARP listed books
  • Teleflora: 20% discount
  • Walgreens: 5% off qualifying Walgreens products
  • Curves: $100 savings
  • Eyewear: 30% off at Lenscrafters, Pearl, Sears, JC Penney
  • Allstate Roadside Assistance: $19 cheaper then AAA & 2nd household member is free
  • Hotels: Save an average of 10% on hotel stays
  • Car Rentals: 20 – 25% savings on car rental
  • Plus discounted rates on life, auto & health insurance.

Only one member of the family needs to sign up as your spouse will be covered under it as well.  So it’s like getting 2 for the price of one.  If you are 50 or older I would definitely consider signing up now.   Plus you get a nifty travel kit 🙂
