55 This month. Need help on Sr Citizens discounts.

[Guardian Angel]

Being new to this I was just wondering if I could get some help to see what discounts I might be able to look forward to out there. Not only will this info be good for me, but others might find some new things too.

Hmm 55, but I stil feel like I am 20 something!

Any shopping tips are appreciated.

Thanks

Many stores have specific senior's discount days (like Tuesdays at Safeways -- just guessing, but I have seen these signs around and about). You may have to be 60 or 65 for most seniors discounts, tho.

Other things I have noticed are: transit rates & movie rates.

There is not a single fixed age for senior discounts. I have seen ranges from 55 for some hotel chains to 75 at some ski areas. Different stores or events set thier own policy.
At first I was reluctant to ask for a discount if I wasn't sure of the "age" but the savings sometimes make it worthwhile.
Surprisingly enough, sometimes when I asked what the magic age was for a particular store or admission I was given the senior discount even though I admitted that I didn't qualify yet.
I don't know of any SPs or agencies that have a seniors discount. Now that would be worthwhile!

Canada you are considered a senior at 65, the States it is 55. I would imagine hotels and resorts would set their own age, kind of like 55+ apartment buildings.
