The webpage to which the previous answer refers you provides wrong information. Note that that page has no connection with AARP. AARP's own verbiage is misleading, but no registration or activation is required for its member card, as long as you've paid the membership fee. You can verify this by phoning AARP at the number on the back of the card. Filling out the "activation" form is helpful to AARP but not to you; it's essentially a way for AARP to profit from its partner companies that want to know your susceptibility to its solicitations.

I've been an AARP member for a great many years and use the card frequently for various discounts; and I've never registered or activated the card.
