Hip tips for saving BIG money with senior discounts:

  • Sign up for an AARP membership! As you’ll see throughout this list, an AARP membership is pretty much essential to unlocking senior savings and discounts that aren’t available to the general public. You can save big on travel (including airlines and hotels), dining at restaurants, and even on a night out to the movie theater. The savings opportunities are endless AND for a limited time, you can score a discount on an annual membership! 🙌🏼
  • Always ask before you make a purchase! Many businesses do not voluntarily offer discounts unless they are requested, and franchise establishments may have varying offers by location.

Before you make any purchases, check this list of senior discounts to help you save!
