What Is a Senior Discount?

A senior discount is a percentage or dollar amount of a service or product. These discounts are available exclusively to those over 65 years old. These discounts are helpful when living on a fixed income or if you want to take advantage of your years of wisdom!

How Old Do You Have to Be to Receive a Senior Discount?

To receive a senior discount at most places you have to be 65 years old. Some retailers consider being over 55 as a qualifying age for their senior discounts. If you are unsure if you qualify for the discount at a specific place, just ask! They will inform you of their policy. 

Some places do not advertise their discounts, so you might have to do some digging. There is no legal requirement or ramification for offering discounts, so you should always ask if you aren’t sure!
