    1

    Log into your AARP account to see your benefits

    ~23s
    Go to aarp.org and sign in with your AARP account (if you have one) or create one linked to your membership number. Once signed in, go to "Member Benefits" to see the full current list. Benefits change and are updated periodically.

    Quick Tip

    Quick Tip: AARP benefits include discounts from major retailers like Best Buy and Sprint/T-Mobile, which can save real money on tech purchases and phone plans.

    2

    Look for antivirus and security software discounts

    ~15s
    AARP has negotiated discounts with security software companies including Norton, McAfee, and others. Check the "Electronics & Technology" section of your member benefits to see current offers. These are often 40–60% off first-year subscriptions.

    Explore AARP's free technology training

    ~15s
    Go to aarp.org/technology and look for "Tech Resources" or "AARP Technology Education." AARP offers free online workshops, video tutorials, and guides on topics like smartphone use, avoiding scams, understanding AI, and online safety. These are available to non-members too, but members get additional content.

    Use AARP's Fraud Watch Network

    ~18s
    Go to aarp.org/money/scams-fraud. AARP's Fraud Watch Network provides free scam alerts by email, a helpline to call if you think you've been scammed (1-877-908-3360), and a Fraud Watch helpline staffed by volunteers trained in elder fraud. This is one of the most valuable benefits for anyone who receives suspicious calls or emails.

    Get discounts on phone and internet plans

    ~15s
    AARP has partnerships with some carriers and internet providers for discounted plans. Check the "Phone & Internet" category in your member benefits portal. Also search online for "[carrier name] AARP discount" — some offers aren't prominently displayed but exist if you ask.
