If you know of any senior discounts that we missed, we would love to hear about them. Please let us know so we can add them to this list and share them so more people can benefit from the discounts.
There was a time not long ago when it was pretty easy to find senior discounts at different businesses, but it seems that is changing. We have noticed that many retailers have decided to stop giving senior discounts, and instead, use a store loyalty card or a rewards card as a way to offer deals to their customers regardless of their ages. Sure, a deal is a deal, and we definitely wouldn’t turn one down, but if you are a senior, there might be discounts out there that you are missing out on.
As a consumer, you probably shop at many different retail establishments, and you may choose the stores you frequent based on the quality, price, and value, of their items, but how do you know you are getting the best deal possible?
