From Applebee’s to McDonald’s and Kroger, we share not only age requirement but the discounts they offer. In addition we’ll show you several AARP discounts available with a membership. The good news is there’s no age restriction and it only costs $12 for the first year, then $16 each year after that. Even though this list is updated regularly, we recommend that you call ahead to double check with your location. After all, who said getting old had to be a bad thing? Due to the fact that saving money is in style at any age! Finally, mature patrons can enjoy discounts from restaurants, retail, grocery, and more! So, head on over to the places listed here and ask about your senior discount!

Senior Discount Age?

Our readers ask, What is the senior discount age? Certainly, many people think you have to be age 65 and older to be a senior citizen. But, some retailers and restaurants give discounts to those as young as age 50! It really all depends on their local policy. And AARP is even better, because anyone can get their membership!

How Old Do You Have to Be to Get AARP Discounts?

Some of the discounts in our list are from AARP. And, AARP seems like a senior discount. But, actually AARP has no age restrictions! Most people probably think you have to be age 50 or order to join, but that’s not the case. Anyone at any age can join AARP, and get their membership discounts. The first year AARP membership is $12, and after that it’s $16 a year. Several of the Senior Discounts listed are AARP membership discounts. To use your AARP discount, simply show your membership card. For the most current and up-to-date AARP discounts, please check your membership with them.
