Since this is an RV forum, I assume that the "AARP membership" being talked about is in relation to camping discounts.
From another perspective, we have had AARP's (most comprehensive plans allowed in our state) health insurance supplement coverage for years in addition to our Medicare coverage. Whatever medical care the DW or myself require - we walk out of doctor's offices and hospitals owing $ZERO - due to Medicare plus AARP insurance coverage in combination. We are AARP fans because of their excellent supplemental health insurance offerings.
Now .... with respect to camping discounts ... the most worthless campng membership we have is Passport America. RARELY do commecial campgrounds honor their supposed 50% discount - there's always some excuse at campgrounds as to why our Passport America isn't honored. What a waste. :(
Pass Port Americas great if your traveling, maybe not for weekenders. I use it all the time going from state to state. $25 a year and not worth it? You need to read the notes for each camp ground, it's not like Good Sams, drive in and drop your card. Look up Stinson RV Campbell TX, found that one last year $40 a night PPA $20 with 3 day limit for full hook up 50 amp, that was $60 for three days. The owner was so nice I stopped going the opposite direction for another 3 days, so $240 normal was $120. I guess it depends on how you travel and if you read the notes. GS that $240 would have gotten me a whopping 10% or $24 discount, so which was the better card??
