How to stop aarp from sending junk mail
The never-ending battle against junk mail! Here are some steps to help you reduce or stop receiving unwanted mail from AARP:
- Update your AARP membership information: Log in to your AARP account online or call their customer service at 1-888-OUR-AARP (1-888-687-2277) to update your contact information. Make sure your email address and mailing address are accurate and up-to-date.
- Opt-out of unwanted mail: Visit AARP's website at www.aarp.org and click on "Contact Us" at the bottom of the page. Fill out the "Opt-out of Mail" form to request that they stop sending you unwanted mail.
- Use the USPS "Do Not Mail" registry: The United States Postal Service (USPS) maintains a "Do Not Mail" registry, which allows you to request that mailers not send you junk mail. You can register online at www.usps.com/donotmail.
- Contact AARP's mail preference service: AARP has a mail preference service that allows you to specify which types of mail you want to receive and which you don't. You can contact them at 1-888-OUR-AARP (1-888-687-2277) to request this service.
- Use a mail-blocking service: Services like 41pounds.org or Catalog Choice allow you to opt-out of receiving mail from specific companies, including AARP. These services may charge a fee for their services.
- Report unwanted mail to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC): If you receive unwanted mail from AARP or any other company, you can report it to the FTC at www.ftc.gov. The FTC monitors complaints and works to prevent fraudulent and deceptive practices.
- Consider a paperless membership: If you're an AARP member, you may be able to switch to a paperless membership, which would reduce the amount of mail you receive from AARP.
Remember that it may take some time for AARP to process your requests and stop sending unwanted mail. Be patient and persistent, and you should see a reduction in the amount of junk mail you receive.
