Wait… When Did AARP Get Cool?
AARP has quietly become one of the best perk machines out there
Hello friends —
So, I did something unexpected this week.
I joined AARP.
I know.
I know.
Trust me, no one is more surprised than me.
But hear me out… because I think you might want to jump on this too.
AARP has quietly become one of the best perk machines out there. I always assumed it was coupons for prune juice and maybe a newsletter about comfortable shoes. Instead… it’s a full-blown savings universe hiding behind a very boring name.
And right now there’s a Cyber Week deal — $11 per year when you get a 5-year membership. Plus, if you sign up through Rakuten, they’re giving $20 cash back on top of it. (A deal so good I had to double-check it twice to make sure it wasn’t a typo.)
Once inside, I found things I actually care about:
⭐ Real Benefits That Matter
Dental insurance options (this is huge if you don’t currently have coverage).
Vision & hearing discounts.
Lower prices on prescriptions.
Big travel perks — hotels, car rentals, and flights.
Everyday savings at places we already use.
Entertainment, restaurants, and even gas discounts.
It’s like someone bundled adulting into a membership and said, “Here, let us take the stress off this pile over here.”
I’ll be exploring the full benefit list in detail, testing everything that’s useful, and reporting back to you here. If there’s a deal to stack, you know I’m on it.
If you want to check it out while this sale is live, now’s the moment.
The Cyber Week pricing ends 12/9.
Strange but true: joining AARP might be the most grown-up bargain I’ve ever gotten… and also the most fun one to tell you about.
More perks coming soon —
