Check with your local location – Deals can change and vary from one franchise location to the next. Check at places you frequent to make sure they offer senior discounts and the details of how you can take advantage of them.
Ask for discounts – Even if a restaurant isn't on the list, it never hurts to ask. You might find your favorite eatery has a deal you didn't know about, or you may qualify for a senior discount at an earlier age that you'd think. Some are offered for people as young as age 50.
Consider joining AARP – You can join the organization starting at age 50, and you'll be eligible for ongoing discounts at some restaurants and other locations such as specific hotel chains.
