AARP® Credit Card From Chase
You might know that AARP stands for the American Association of Retired Persons, but you probably don’t realize the AARP Rewards Credit Card stands to help qualified applicants of any age save money on everyday expenses. More specifically, the AARP Rewards Card is available to anyone with good credit or better, regardless of AARP membership (which costs $16 per year). And it offers 3% back at gas stations and restaurants plus a 1% base earning rate to supplement the $100+ initial bonus that you’ll receive for spending at least $500 within three months of account opening. That’s a pretty good deal, especially when you consider that the total package would net the average person roughly $1,100 over the first two years of use.
