I just throw it away like garbage . . . been doing it for almost thirty years.

It's a big waste of paper tho.

Yes, send it back in the enclosed prepaid envelope.

They'll stalk you until the day you die......after that, they'll probably dig down to deliver those great insurance deals.............I've never joined and I never will and I am also sick of their junk!!!

My husband & I used to be AARP members for yrs. We stopped renewing our membership b/c of the unending junk mail & get this, we were BOTH receiving the same thing! We thought we could stop this by not renewing our membership------wrong!

I use to get stuff all the time and now rarely. Maybe they stop or slow down at a certain age or they gave up on me ever joining.

You can get almost all of the discounts they advertise without being a member if you are a senior....

I always take such ads, along with credit card offers, put the part with my name & address in their postage paid envelope and write in big block letters,"please remove from your mailing list". It works but may take two tries.

I called the number listed in their mailings and asked to be taken off the list. They told me it might take a couple of months, but removed my name. I dislike getting all that junk mail, so was glad to see it stop.

I love magazines, but won't give them as gifts, because of the endless mail they send trying to get you to renew. I don't want to subject anyone else to that.

Yeah, I get those, too, which is really a big waste of paper/postage since I'm going to donate my physical remains to science for research.
