11 Senior Discounts So Good Millennials Will Be Jealous

I’m not going to lie: It’s fun being a young and dumb millennial. I’m physically healthy and mentally sharp—and a little all over the place emotionally, but still. Marketers make me feel special with their advertisements, compelling me to travel the world and live life to the fullest.

But, truth be told, I’m looking forward to the day I recieve my AARP card. I want to take advantage of some of the killer senior discounts that my own grandparents enjoy every single day.

Before we move on to our favorite senior discounts, we have a couple of disclaimers:

• For the best deals, sign up for your AARP card. Just for signing up, you’ll be ready to show off your card to certain establishments and save a lot of money on your purchases.
• All deals are not created equal. Even though this list contains legitimate discounts, the amount you pay might vary depending on where you live, what day it is and what the weather is like.
• Just ask. It never hurts to ask the staff at the store you’re going into. What’s the worst that could happen, you pay full price for a small coffee?

Without further ado, here are 11 of our favorite senior discounts that will make any millennial jealous.

1. Get A Lifetime Pass To National Parks (62+)

For $20, you can go to any national park in the U.S. with this lifetime pass. If you want to see nature in all its glory, click here or call (888) 627-3325 for more information.

2. Get A 30% Discount On Movie Tickets (60+)

If you go to either Regal Cinemas (with your AARP card) or AMC Theatres, you can save 30 percent on your movie tickets. That’s a big deal when you think about how pricy movies have become!

3. Take 15% Off Clothes At Kohl’s On Wednesdays (60+)

You can even use your Kohl’s Cash with this offer! But be sure to look at their list of excluded products and brands, like Nike and American Girl.

4. Stay At Any Hyatt For Half The Price (62+)

If you use this discount, staying at a Hyatt for a month might be cheaper than renting a studio apartment in New York City.
