I got that email too, and re-signed up to AARP. Between the discount on the cell phone plan, restaurant discounts, and other stuff - it seemed silly to not to have the AARP card. Saving right about $100/month now because of AARP. $1,200/year or $12,000 over 10 years. Little decisions add up.
I don't see that much of a savings. I pay $19/month for cell phone service from Ting so I doubt they could do any better. (I'm a household of one so discounts for additional lines don't help me.) I'm suspicious of insurance "savings" because sometimes the lowball quotes come with more restrictive coverage and you don't know till you need it. The restaurant discounts are for chains I rarely patronize (although I did use it at Denny's when BF got an urge for biscuits and gravy) and I get pretty much the same travel discounts with AAA (and Costco for rental cars).
