Aging doesn’t always have its perks, but this list of discounts might add some pizzazz to the fact of getting older and help cut costs for retirees. Starting at age 50 (the minimum age for AARP membership), seniors can cash in on numerous deals just for being born on or before the date required for the bargain. Simply flash an ID to collect on most discounts, although some apply only to AARP members and some are offered only by select chain franchisees. These discounts might make retirement a little more fulfilling.
Note: Be sure to check with each company regarding exclusions and additional requirements.
Haven’t joined AARP yet? Members age 50 and over get access to a wide range of services and benefits, including online events, classes, and community forums, as well as advice on everything from financial planning to health and wellness. Sign up here.
