Why I Went With AMAC

We get a lot of mail from AARP. There are several reasons I don’t want my dollars going to them, so I just threw out the repeated offers. Then, one day, I was made aware of AMAC. AMAC is the “Association of Mature American Citizens.”

AARP and AMAC are both organizations that cater to seniors, but they differ in their political leanings and membership benefits. AARP is often seen as more liberal and offers a wide range of services, while AMAC positions itself as a conservative alternative, focusing on advocacy for conservative values and providing similar benefits to its members.

A Reader’s Request

“Wayne-It looks like you need to write an article on the benefits of AMAC. Thank you.” – Philip

AMAC made me aware of PureTalk, so explored PureTalk for our cellular service. We have been pleased with the service and have not experienced any problems.

Although I have not tried every service that AMAC provides, I do like their bimonthly AMAC magazine, which has a definite conservative bias. There are other services that retirees might use. They apparently can help with Social Security questions and in finding information related to Medicare.

To save some time I scanned some of the pages from the AMAC “Member Benefits & Resource Guide” and the AMAC “Member Advisory Services” brochure. I cannot confirm the value of some of the services, but I’d rather talk to AMAC than AARP. The funny thing is that our United Health Care Medicare Part D plan is branded as an AARP solution, but we don’t have an AARP membership!
