Senior discount club and other senior discounts in 2019. It can be a bit tricky to determine when a senior discount applies. Most establishments determine this on their own. There is no technical definition of when a senior is actually qualified. However, most organizations have a policy, and that information can apply to your case. For example, many auto insurance companies will provide a senior discount to those who are over 50. Many restaurants offer these discounts for those over the age of 55. And, some retailers begin offering discounts to those who are over the age of 60. The key here is that you do need to ask to get these savings options.
Alamo Drafthouse: Moviegoers ages 60-plus can view weekday shows before 2pm for only $6, less than half of the general admissions price of $13.75. That special low pricing applies all day on Wednesday for the chain’s Senior Day. See here for locations. Amtrak: Travelers ages 65 and over can receive a 10% discount on most rail fares on most Amtrak trains. Kathy Levine, 70, of Long Beach, N.Y. uses the discount frequently to visit her daughter and granddaughter 200 miles away. “I prefer not to drive the four hours it takes,” says Levine. “The Amtrak discount allows me to see them more often.”
America’s National Park Service was established by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916, and has grown to encompass more than 400 areas across the country with more than 80 million acres in total. Entrance fees vary by park, but annual passes are also available, offering access to more than 2,000 federal recreation sites. Annual passes cost most people $80, while many military folks and 4th graders get a free annual pass. Senior citizens, meanwhile, get a discount: Those 62 or older can get an annual pass for just $20 — or a lifetime pass for $80. See more details on Rural King senior discount.
