Mcdonald’s senior discount and other senior discounts today. The other activities you are involved with can offer discounts as well. You may be surprised to learn so many cost-savings options are available to you at the activities you are planning to do.
Uno Pizzeria & Grill: Customers age 55-plus can get deep discounts on their deep-dish pizza (and other menu items) at this restaurant chain. Eligible customers can join the Double Nickel Club on the company’s web site and get a generous 30% off their bill every Wednesday. Walgreens: Shoppers 55-plus, and all AARP members, receive 20% off all eligible purchases on the first Tuesday of every month. This is one of the more generous retail deals around, says Lindsay Sakraida, director of content market at DealNews. “You can plan around it,” she says. Kohl’s: Kohl’s offers senior discounts every Wednesday. They can be up to 15 percent off. They allow seniors to combine these discount days with coupons to save even more.
Let’s start with the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, otherwise known as Amtrak. It boasts 21,000 route miles in 46 states, the District of Columbia and three Canadian provinces, and delivers more than 300 trains daily to hundreds of destinations — traveling at up to 150 miles per hour. Amtrak offers 10% off most rail fares on most Amtrak trains to those 65 and older. You only have to be 60 or older to get 10% off fares on cross-border voyages operated by Amtrak and VIA Rail Canada. If you take six train rides per year at an average price of $150 each, you can save $90 annually. See more details on Comcast senior discount.
Kentucky Fried Chicken, now known as KFC and part of parent company Yum! Brands (NYSE: YUM), serves its fare in more than 20,000 locations in more than 125 countries. The company reportedly offers seniors aged 55 and up a free small drink when they order an entree. That might not sound like much, but if you frequent KFC and would normally buy a small drink for, say, $1.49 once a week, you’re looking at annual savings of $77. Not every location will offer a discount, though, so check first.
Wyndham Worldwide (NYSE: WYN) features more than 8,000 properties worldwide bearing brand names such as Ramada, Days Inn, Super 8, Knights Inn, Howard Johnson, Hawthorn by Wyndham, TRYP by Wyndham, Microtel by Wyndham, and Wingate by Wyndham — among many others. It offers seniors aged 60 and up a discount off of its best available rate at many participating hotels. If you’re planning a trip, look into Wyndham properties of interest and ask what discount is available.
