Tryingtocruise Posted July 7, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 7, 2023 So I was just looking at the AARP website. I qualify for membership (ugh) and the fee isn't a problem but I'm confused how one qualifies for discounted gift cards. I do not see them listed in the benefits section. Thanks.

You don’t need a paid membership to buy the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though they let Canadians join AARP they do not allow us to be part of AARP rewards, so we cannot get the HAL gift cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The membership required for gifts cars is simply an email and a password . I used that for a long time before I became a full member. They didn’t even know my name. Now your credit card might be an issue but you can get around that by buying an American express gift card. American Express gift cards represent to the merchant just like a credit card unlike visa where they represent as a gift card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I signed up about a year ago it was simply and email and a password. When I recently signed up DH it required email, password and phone but no address Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have no problem taking my money for membership but then wont let me use all the benefits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notmyfirstname Posted December 9, 2023 #13 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I'm in Canada and joined AARP for the benefit of gift cards. Then I found out I couldn't access them. I do not plan to renew my membership as that seems unfair. Money is money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to get the AARp OBC which is $100 which easily defrays the cost of membership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also buy Holland America gift cards at Kroger stores and their subsidiaries. You buy them at face but you receive fuel points. If you wait until they have a 4x special, you get the equivalent of 5% off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
