Where are the best discounts for over 60s?

Not strictly a discount for the over sixties but it saved me quite a lot. I travelled by train from Baldock to London yesterday using my senior rail card £13.25,
My GS cost me £2. He travelled free on the tube and bus.
We went to London Zoo with our Tesco Vouchers.

We took a picnic but I bought him an ice cream. There were water coolers to fill up his bottle.
A very cheap day out.
There a so many cheap/free places to take your grandchildren to all over the country.

There are so many cheap days out for the little ones in Liverpool,the muesums for instance are amazing and even if you went on a regulsr basis you would find something interesting every time.A walk around the Albert Dock will amaze the youngsters and take up most of the day.
When out and about seniors can get up to 20% on restaurant meals or child eats free well worth looking at.

National Trust for Scotland gives over 60s discount automatic ally and without the 5 (?) years previous membership required by English NT. You don't have to live in Scotland.

Not particularly age related but always worth checking if you get a discount for recommending a business to family/friends. My local optician runs such a scheme and so do a number of on-line companies

If you are registered deaf or wear hearing aids you can get a third off rail travel for you and a companion.

Not something you'd want to qualify for but you can get a blue badge for parking your car fast tracked if you have terminal cancer.

Thanks nandalot I didn't know that, will look at the link.

If it is unfair for the older people to get discounts is it unfair for students or those who work as teachers or in the NHS? I don't know why companies shouldn't choose who they give discounts to.

If you join Silversurfers online , it costs nothing , they offer discounts on lots of things .

Never be afraid to ask for a discount on any large household items or white goods,specially near the end of the month when shops are looking to make their end of month targets.
I saved £60 on a fridge/freezer just by asking if this was the best price they had at the moment.

Not just for the over 60s but I have a cash back credit card which has saved hundreds. Of course you need to pay back in full every month to get anything back. I do pay an annual fee but it's worth it!

I am in my late fifties and do travel up and down the country. I found out last year that I could apply for a disabled person's rail card because I had hearing aids. It did cost £20 per year, but I get a third off fares using it. I've saved a fortune this year using it.

Wyevale garden club cards give a small discount on all purchases for the over 60s.

10% off gardening stuff at B and Q if you’ve got one of their cards but it’s only on a Wednesday

you got an interesting topic guys. learned a lot

Darn
I just booked with Qatar and may be using them in future
How do you get the discount?

If you get a referral letter from your GP for hearing test sent to Specsavers and you need hearing aids you can get free NHS ones. As private ones start at £400 . They give a thorough hearing test I had one recently but my hearing no bad enough for hearing aids yet.

If you are on benefits Specsavers give a discount even for 2 for 1 offer . I always buy glasses in the 2 for one range but the cheaper ones not designer. I need readers and distance glasses .

It's not a discount tip but if you have a disability Primer inn have accessible rooms for wheelchair and walking disabled. The shower room.is the size of a double bedroom. Lower beds to get and out of and a comfy armchair. If you have the meal deal breakfast and dinner or just breakfast you save money.

I have a senior rail card which gives a third off I always buy a 3 year one . First time I used it I saved the money I paid for it.

Use the Northern app to book tickets they don't change booking fee . Trainline charge a booking fee. Look for discounts 12 weeks before you want to travel. Had lots of bargains . If you need help travel assistance is brilliant been using it for 15 years takes away and worries about boarding trains or making connections. I have always found the safe very helpful .

Not sure if they are still updating this page 5 years after first asking us? Still, any tips are still useful.

Whiff

NHS hearing tests and aids through Specsavers isn’t national, it’s only available in some trust areas.

I use Top Cashback and it does gradually mount up. I think I've got around £70 accumulated right now.

I have a railcard in France and travel in the blue times. The trains are half empty and
I save loads
