Before giving AARP life insurance a moment’s thought, know this: You can’t buy more than $100,000 in term coverage or over $50,000 for permanent (the type of insurance with cash-value savings).

Homeowners insurance is a fairly generic product. And there’s very little someone in AARP’s age group (over 50) would want from a policy that someone younger wouldn’t.

AARP members age 50 and older can get a discount on auto insurance through The Hartford via the AARP Auto Insurance Program. This partnership between AARP and The Hartford has existed since 1984.

House Republicans will be examining AARP's interest in the health care law. It's possible that the reform will mean $1 billion in extra sales for AARP in the next 10 years.
