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.

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.
