Cancellation Aarp: Easy Method
What is Aarp
AARP is an organization that provides membership benefits, information and services primarily for older adults. Although AARP is U.S.-based, it offers a membership option for residents of Canada that gives access to certain member benefits, communications and offers tied to the AARP program.
Membership typically renews annually and can be managed through AARP’s online account, by phone, by chat or by written request to the Membership Center.
How to cancel Aarp
- By phone: Call toll-free 1‑888‑OUR‑AARP (1‑888‑687‑2277) Monday - Friday, approximately 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. ET. Have your membership number and personal details ready. A confirmation is provided and a prorated refund is processed if eligible. See this reference.
- By mail: Send a written cancellation request (include full name, membership number and return address) to AARP Membership Center, 3200 East Carson St., Lakewood, CA 90712, Attn: Cancel Membership. Use registered mail for proof of delivery. See this reference.
- Online (auto-renewal only): Log into your AARP account → My Account → Account Details → cancel automatic renewal. This stops future billing but does not complete a full cancellation or guarantee a refund; contact phone or chat for full cancellation and refund. See this guide.
- By chat: Use the live chat in the AARP Help Center to request cancellation and any eligible prorated refund; save the chat transcript. See chat/refund info.
- Note: Deleting your online account does not cancel your membership - you must follow one of the cancellation methods above. See details.
What happens when you cancel
If you request full cancellation your membership will be ended according to AARP’s procedures and you should receive written confirmation. If you only stop auto‑renewal online you will generally retain member benefits until the end of the paid term. Processing and system updates can lag; you may continue to receive mailings or communications for a short period after cancellation due to processing times.
Cancelling AARP membership does not automatically cancel any separate or affiliated services (for example, insurance plans sold through partners). Those services must be cancelled directly with the service provider according to their terms.
Will I get a refund?
AARP’s standard approach is to issue a prorated refund for the unused portion of a full membership term when a full cancellation is processed; refunds are typically issued to the original payment method. Processing times can be lengthy - AARP guidance and reports indicate refunds can take up to 12 weeks to process in some cases.
There are product‑specific rules. For example, Personalized Nutrition subscriptions: monthly plans generally do not prorate a partially used month; annual plans may refund unused whole months; dietitian visits are adjusted for use. You must request the refund at cancellation. See refund guidance and subscription terms.
Aarp plans and pricing
| Plan | Price | Period | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canada membership renewal (online) | US$32 | Annual | Standard AARP membership benefits for Canadian members (price as of Jan 15, 2025) |
Your consumer rights in Canada
There is no single federal 14‑day cooling‑off period that universally applies to AARP memberships in Canada; consumer protections vary by province and by the selling channel. Refund and cancellation rights for memberships are primarily governed by AARP’s stated policies and by applicable provincial consumer protection laws where they apply.
If you believe your rights under provincial law have been breached, you can contact your provincial consumer protection office and your payment card issuer (to dispute a charge if appropriate). Keep copies of all cancellation confirmations and correspondence - these are important if you need to lodge a formal complaint or escalate a payment dispute.
Customer experiences
Reports from members are mixed. Some reviewers praise AARP’s resources and services, but many describe friction around cancellation: difficulty cancelling through the app or website, unexpected auto‑renew charges, slow processing of refunds, and issues with customer service responsiveness. Other complaints include problems redeeming rewards and dissatisfaction with third‑party partner services. Positive feedback does appear in reviews but is less frequent than cancellation‑related complaints.
Documentation checklist
- Membership number and full name (as on the account)
- Current address and phone number
- Preferred email address on file
- Date and time of cancellation request
- Method used (phone, mail, chat, online) and any confirmation number or transcript
- Copies/screenshots of online account showing auto‑renewal settings if applicable
- Proof of mailing (registered mail receipt) if you send a written request
- Last four digits of payment card or original payment details for refund tracking
Common mistakes
Common errors include assuming deleting an online account cancels membership (it does not), thinking turning off auto‑renew is the same as a full cancellation, and not saving confirmation details or proof of postage when cancelling by mail. Other mistakes: not checking whether affiliated services (insurance, subscriptions) require a separate cancellation, and assuming refunds are immediate - processing can take weeks.
Comparative recap
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| By phone | Prorated refund available if full cancellation; refund to original payment method (processing time may apply) | Moderate - requires calling during business hours and may include retention questions |
| By mail | Prorated refund available if full cancellation; confirmation sent back after processing | Low - Moderate - straightforward but slower; use registered mail for proof |
| Online (auto‑renewal only) | Stops future billing but does not automatically generate a refund; full cancellation and refund usually require phone or chat | Easy to stop auto‑renewal, but not sufficient for full cancellation |
| By chat | Refunds/prorated amounts can be requested via live chat; save transcript | Moderate - depends on chat availability and agent handling |
After cancelling
Keep your cancellation confirmation and monitor your bank or card statement for the refund. Allow the stated processing times (refunds can take up to 12 weeks in some reports). If a billed renewal appears after cancellation, contact AARP immediately and, if needed, your payment card issuer to dispute the charge.
