Wall Street Journal senior discount

Super shuttle senior citizen discount and a few more senior discounts in 2019. Perhaps one of the easiest places to find a senior discount is at your favorite restaurants. Though most chains offer discounts across the board, many smaller locations will as well. Be sure to ask about special event savings days or early dinner discounts available. Restaurants typically will advertise these discounts.

Alamo Drafthouse: Moviegoers ages 60-plus can view weekday shows before 2pm for only $6, less than half of the general admissions price of $13.75. That special low pricing applies all day on Wednesday for the chain’s Senior Day. See here for locations. Amtrak: Travelers ages 65 and over can receive a 10% discount on most rail fares on most Amtrak trains. Kathy Levine, 70, of Long Beach, N.Y. uses the discount frequently to visit her daughter and granddaughter 200 miles away. “I prefer not to drive the four hours it takes,” says Levine. “The Amtrak discount allows me to see them more often.”

Dave Thomas opened the first Wendy’s (NYSE: WEN) eatery in Columbus, Ohio, in 1969 and did rather well with it. Indeed, today, you’ll find about 6,600 Wendy’s restaurants across the country (and outside it, too), offering the usual fast-food fare of burgers and fries, but also chili and baked potatoes. Special deals for senior citizens are not standard across all locations, but many will offer those 55 or older either 10% off their bill or a discounted or free drink. If you dine at Wendy’s once a week and get a free drink each time that’s valued at $1.50, you’ll be enjoying a $78 discount annually. Read extra info on Bluecore range senior discount.

Goodwill Industries helps hundreds of thousands of people train for jobs in a variety of industries, raising money by selling a wide range of items donated to it in its 3,200-plus stores. Yes, prices are already quite low at Goodwill, but those 55 or older may be able to purchase their chosen items for even less. Many locations will reportedly offer seniors 10% off on a certain day of the week. Give your local location a call to see what they offer, and when.

Dunkin Donuts, with its parent company Dunkin Brands (Nasdaq: DNKN), serves more than 3 million customers daily at more than 8,500 locations in 41 states and more than 3,200 locations in 36 other countries. It reportedly offers seniors aged 55 and older a free donut when they purchase a large coffee. The deal varies by location and might work with a large soft drink, as well. Some locations require an AARP membership and some locations won’t offer a discount, so check first.
