Anyone know how to stop AARP from sending so much junk mail, & email?

I've been a member off & on every since I was eligible to join, only because I wanted to take advantage of some of their discount offers. I've allowed the membership to lapse several times because they just bombard me with mail & email. I eventually relent & re-join, as previous mentioned because I wanted discounts. I'd like to tell them, "Don't call me; I'll call you" because I know how to find what I want on their website.

Sheesh! Anybody know how to stop the madness?

Have you tried to ""opt out"" on their website? Most sites have that option available.

I don't know how you can stop receiving certain pieces of mail.

You can either opt out of their emails or put a filter on to snag them from reaching your inbox.

Just got in today my Sundance and King's Ranch catalogues and both (in different locations) have a Mail List Option. It tells you what to do to stop both of theirs. One magazine had it in the very back pages and the other had it with the order form. Both in very fine print. Good Luck!

Pull the mailing label off and return it to them along with a note to remove you from their mailing list.

I loathe AARP with the passion of a thousand burning suns, and I used one of their invites to say I never wanted to hear from them again. It worked.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check the paper mailings for any place where I can opt out of those. As previously mentioned, I can still "unsubscribe" to the emails.
