Back about ten years ago ,when i turned 50, i immediately joined AARP, thinking it would be of some to great benefit. First i tried the hotel discounts and found them no better than AAA. Second, i went to my retirement plan specialist and asked him to evaluate the retirement savings plans and annuities offered through AARP, and i was shocked to hear that as an expert in the field for many years he found them all to be "mediocre at best" !! Why not 'Superior' ????
They should be offering our older citizens the best, not the average. So recently i tried their car insurance offered through the Hartford, and for the first time ever i feel i was low balled to get me to call the Hartford Insurance Company and then fraudulently told that "the quote had to be adjusted as usual" and higher !! Classic 'bait and switch' fraud.
Now some old folks might just roll over and take that higher ,too high, price. But i complained to AARP and was basically told that they don't care about such insurance quote abuse and non-competitive pricing to the USA seniors.
Shocking , i know. Don't accept mediocrity from AARP, or anyone else !! Demand better service and prices from such powerful and supposed friends of the aged. The California Insurance Commissioner is taking too long to seem interested.
