there are two versions of the AARP card. I'm not sure if this is a known knowledge here... but I just called to upgrade to a Visa Signature card and the JP Morgan rep told me that I was eligible to either remain on the current reward structure or upgrade to the new one which would be 3% cashback on travel and dining purchases. Of course I decided to keep the current structure since I already have plenty of travel cards but the new card was expedited and would be here by tomorrow. Just thought I should share
Wait! 3% on both travel and dining? Is there an annual fee? I've never heard of this, and I'm a Chase cardholder and a member of AARP. When did this happen? I'm thinking this card could be a strong competitor to the CSP.
Why did you turn it down? The current version is 3% on dining and gas, right? How can that be better for you?
Adkins.... both of your URLs point to the current version of the AARP card: 3% on dining and gas.

I've tried to get my mother to get this card, since she'd get more cash back than her Discover. But she's too lazy to apply. *shrugs*
Both are those are links to the same card with 3% for dining and gas. Nothing about 3% on travel.

Maybe because OP doesn't travel or because OP spends more $$ on gas and dining.
I can't find an AARP Card with 3% on travel and restaurants.
I did some googling and just found this:

I don't see dining listed for the 3%, but the 3% travel category is almost as broadly defined as the CSP and CSR.
