The 53 Best Senior Discounts to Use in 2022

Senior discounts are one of the few truly great perks that come with growing older. You can even start collecting senior discounts at age 50 from some stores, so you could save big long before you even qualify for retirement benefits!
To help you keep track of all the deals on entertainment, dining, travel, and more, we've compiled four handy senior citizen discount lists.

Location Matters for Senior Discounts
Be aware that for many businesses, the senior citizen discount varies by location; brands may let individual franchisees decide whether to provide senior perks. As a result, one of your local restaurants might give you a higher percentage off than the same chain would across town.
Before heading out on a shopping spree, check with your local store about the discounts for seniors on offer. (This can be a helpful strategy when it comes to birthday freebies and military discounts, too.)
Senior Citizen Benefits Are Disappearing
Senior savings have been around for decades, but it seems like retailers are slowly phasing them out. In some cases — such as the Publix grocery chain — stores are allegedly changing tactics to provide better savings all around. However, other retailers — like Gap and some of its brands — have simply dropped their senior discounts altogether.
One industry where senior discounts still thrive is travel. Many major airlines, hotel chains, cruise lines, and rental car companies offer senior discounts of up to 30% off, which can make vacationing much more affordable. Still, these deals aren't always obvious: you may have to hunt for senior rates on business websites or simply call and ask directly.
