Anybody here have any experience with CARP? Are they nice people? Got a call from them a few days ago saying they can save me money. They are sending some material to me in the mail which should arrive in 4-6 weeks.

No idea what or who carp is, maybe the Canadian version of aarp, got a link?

I am still waiting for the material that will tell me how I can save money. The gentleman on the phone said my first year of membership will be free. He also said they've dropped the age requirement to 45 (there must be some Board member who are 45 or older).

It was also the station mascot for WKRP in Cincinnati.

Which I may add you will be eventually, just a matter of time. Enjoy your youth while you can.

My old geezer body says where do I sign up.
My juvenile brain says over my dead body!

I was a member and carp was a good name for them all they did was carp about everything. I think it magazine id better now that Moses Ziamer(?) too over.

Looking at it it appears as less a vehicle for advocacy and more for selling products and services.

They can group buy Preparation H and get it for their members at all better price.

Maybe some enterprising SPs will offer discounts to CARP members. ) CARP guys may be old but they likely have more $$ to spend. Actually, I can think of a few SPs who would be eligible to join CARP.

Appears to be a bit of both. They lowered the age of admission to 45 so it is no longer just for seniors. A 45 year old has different concerns than a 65 year old so not sure it was a good idea to lower the age,

I'm a member. Got a free membership when I signed up for a cell phone plan through Zoomer Wireless. There's not much to the savings based on when I can see so far. Mostly geared towards retirees so they have preferred vendors for life insurance, estate planning, funeral needs and car rentals that sort of thing. You get a magazine and they send out invites for free retirement planning sessions. It's not something I would pay for though.

Do they have a GILF SP ads section in their monthly publication?

lol Here's a sample from their March publication. It is really geared towards seniors, not 45 yr olds.

I have friends that belong and think it is great.
We looked at it with the idea of saving money on travel insurance, problem was their travel insurance was more expensive than what we were and are paying.
Could not find a reason to join.
