Discount Business Directory Links
Below are links to websites that list a wide range of products and services that offer senior discounts. In some cases, these discounts start at age 50. Sometimes an AARP membership is required. In other cases, discounts are restricted to a certain day of the week.
All discounts are subject to change and may vary from location to location. If you find something of interest, check in advance to make sure the business is still honoring the discount or honors it in a particular location.
A sampling of businesses that may offer discounts include: Albertsons, Amtrak, Greyhound, United Airlines, Alamo Car Rental, AT & T, Best Western, Marriott Hotels, Ross Dress for Less, KFC, Chili’s, Boston Market, Dairy Queen, Outback Steakhouse, Michael’s (craft store), and dozens more!
