If AARP is 50 this year, and it is, then it qualifies for AARP. That means AARP will be eligible for AARP membership with all its discounts and special offers.
The American Association of Retired Persons thus will send itself innumerable messages, electronically and postally, offering targeted news and special privileges (insurance, travel discounts). If only the discounts would cycle into further discounts. …. None of this matters until I qualify for McDonald’s senior coffee price, and that’s way in the future.
