Greyhound bus tickets senior discount and a few extra senior discounts today. Many internet service providers recognize that seniors are one of the fastest growing segments in new internet use. And, they are on a fixed budget. That is why many will offer discounts on plans.
National Parks: U.S. citizens or permanent residents age 62 or over can access more than 84 million acres of land protected by the National Park Service for the rest of their lives for $80. While this isn’t quite the bargain that it used to be — prices were raised from just $10 last year — it’s still much better than the general, $80 annual pass rate, says Warren Gress, 67, of Parker, Colo., who has visited Glacier National Park, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Bryce and Zion, among others. Plus, Gress notes, the pass gets you discounted site fees if you’re staying in a federal campground. T Mobile: Customers ages 55-plus can get two lines with unlimited talk, text, and LTE data for $35/line with AutoPay. This is the best cell service discount available at the moment, says Dworsky of Consumer World. Bonus: only the primary account holder has to be 55 or older.
Tracing its roots back to 1935, Roto-Rooter is the largest plumbing and drain cleaning service provider in North America, with more than 600 company-owned or franchised locations that reach about 90% of the U.S. population. Roto-Rooter reportedly offers seniors a discount. Its website doesn’t seem to mention it, but online sources cite it, mentioning a 10% or 15% discount for those 55 and up or 62 and up. It will also depend on whether your local Roto-Rooter offers the deal, but it’s worth asking about. Plenty of plumbing jobs they do for you might total $250, and some might even cost $500, so getting 10% off might save you $25 or $50. Read more info on Rural King senior discount.
Tracing its roots back to 1907 when its main forms of transportation were feet and bicycles, United Parcel Service, now UPS (NYSE: UPS), has grown into one of the world’s largest delivery companies. It boasts a delivery fleet of about 119,000 vehicles, 454,000 employees, and 10.5 million customers. It also has more than 4,600 retail The UPS Store locations, where those carrying AARP cards can get 15% off eligible products and services and 5% off domestic and international shipping services. If you send packages frequently and spend, say, about $10 per week doing so, you might save $50 annually.
Dress Barn started in 1962 in Connecticut and now, with some 800 store locations around the country, is part of the Ascena Retail Group. It reportedly offers 10% off on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to customers who are 55 or older, though not necessarily at every location — so you might want to ask about available discounts before completing your shopping. If you buy $100 worth of clothing there every few months, you might save $40 or more per year.
