How to Stop Getting Junk Mail from AARP
Tired of opening your mailbox and seeing yet another AARP mailing you never asked for? You’re not alone. These mailers can pile up fast — but the good news is, there are steps you can take to dial it back. Here’s how.
Stop Junk Mails From AARP
Why You’re Getting So Much Mail from AARP
First off: it’s not personal. AARP (and organizations like it) use direct mail because it works. They target people by age, demographics, interests, and sometimes public data. If you recently hit that “target demographic” or showed interest in retirement, it’s very likely their list flagged you.
So, it’s not that they know you — it’s just good marketing logic for them.
How to Opt Out of AARP Mailings
Here are real steps you can take to cut down on the clutter:
1. Change Your Communication Preferences
-
Go to the AARP website and log in (or create an account if needed).
-
Find “Manage My Account” or “Communication Preferences” (or similar).
-
Turn off or reduce mailings, newsletters, or promotional mail.
2. Reach Out Directly
If “Manage Preferences” doesn’t do the trick:
-
Call AARP’s customer service. Tell them you want no promotional mail, period.
-
Send A polite email with your full name, address, and request to be removed from all mail campaigns.
3. Use the DMA’s Mail Preference Service
The DMA Mail Preference Service (or similar “do not mail” lists) is a broader tool to reduce junk mail. You sign up once, and you might see a drop in mailings from many organizations — including AARP. It’s not perfect, but it helps over time.
How to Handle Mail You Still Get
Even after opting out, a few envelopes might sneak through. Here’s how to deal with them:
Return to Sender / “Refused” — Write that phrase on the mail and drop it back. It signals you don’t want future mail from that sender.
Shred & Recycle — Don’t just toss them; shred anything with personal info. Then recycle.
Keep records — If you’ve asked to be removed, note when and how (email, phone, etc.). That helps if you need to follow up.
Why It’s Worth the Effort
Less mail means less sorting, less worry, less waste.
You can reduce exposure to identity theft or phishing attempts.
You regain a little more control over what comes through your mailbox.
How DeleteMyInfo Can Help
Stopping AARP mail is one thing — but AARP is just one sender. The truth is, your name and address are probably sitting on dozens of marketing lists run by data brokers. That’s how you end up getting everything from insurance offers to credit card promos you never wanted.
That’s where DeleteMyInfo comes in. Instead of tracking down every company one by one, we handle the opt-outs for you. We contact the data brokers, push removal requests, and monitor for reappearances so you don’t have to. The result? Less junk mail, fewer spam calls, and a tighter grip on your personal privacy.
