How to Stop AARP Mail
AARP publications, membership offers, and mail from AARP service providers do not all use the same preference. Ask Member Services to stop AARP print mail, then use AARP's privacy choice if you also want to limit partner mail tied to your membership.
Stop AARP magazines, bulletins, and membership offers
- Keep one recent piece. Save the exact recipient name, delivery address, and AARP member number from the label.
- Contact AARP Member Services. Use AARP's official contact page, its chat option, or call 1-888-687-2277.
- Name every category you want stopped. Ask to stop the AARP Magazine, AARP Bulletin, membership offers, renewal mail, and other printed marketing that you no longer want.
- Keep the confirmation date. AARP staff say prepared mail can continue for 6 to 12 weeks after a preference is changed.
AARP's own support staff give the Member Services phone, chat, and private-message routes in its official mail-preference support thread.
Stop AARP partner and co-branded mail
A request to stop AARP publications is different from a request to limit information sharing with companies that offer AARP-branded products or services. Open the AARP Privacy Hub and choose the right to opt out of sharing. Use the name, email address, and member number connected to the membership.
Ask for both changes when needed: stop AARP's own printed mail and limit sharing for partner offers. One preference may not make the other change.
Why AARP mail may continue
- The piece was already prepared. Allow the stated processing window before judging the request.
- Another membership record exists. A former address, different email, or second member number may point to a separate record.
- The sender is not AARP. A company may have your address from another source even if its offer mentions an AARP benefit.
- The mail is account-related. AARP may still send necessary membership or transaction notices after marketing preferences change.
If a later piece has a different label
Compare the recipient spelling, address, and member number with the record used for the first request. Contact AARP again with the exact new label if any detail differs. For mail from an unrelated company, contact that sender separately or use our U.S. junk mail guide.
Where Junk Mail Magic fits
Use AARP's official routes for AARP publications and membership preferences. For a separate offer whose sender is unclear, photograph the piece so Junk Mail Magic can identify the company and prepare a sender-specific removal request.
