AARP is on a recruiting drive. Before you recycle all the promotional material in this week’s circular ads in your mailbox, IF you are interested in signing up or renewing an AARP, membership, look for an envelope-style offer from them. Inside that you will find the offer: you pay $16 for one year and as a gift you receive a FREE blue plaid insulated travel bag.

The promotion is good for both new members and renewals. It is stated clearly in the pink form! This promotion runs until January 31st in 2018.

There is no mention of a brand name for the free travel bag.
