I think we should take advantage of every discount offered to us. I have talked about senior discounts in other posts, but I have found a great resource for Canadian seniors that I recommend they use to find discounts.
The Dealhack Canadian
Senior Discounts List is the result of our quarterly survey of brands that offer seniors discounts.
Every 3 months, our team independently verifies each and every discount on this
list. We also add more brands to the list regularly when we come across them.
The list currently includes
more than 50 brands conveniently broken down into 7 categories (and further by
age groups within each category).
The online version of the guide can be viewed at:
From bus fare to movie
tickets, senior citizens are discount-eligible almost everywhere in Canada.
Make the most out of your benefits by running through this list of stores and
brands that offer special discounts for individuals age 50 and above.
Canadian Association of
Retired Persons (CARP) membership - CARP is an exclusive association for
Canadians age 50 and above. With an annual fee of $19.95, CARP members gain
access to great benefits which includes discounts in many different stores,
hotels, and etc. Discounts requiring CARP membership will be indicated in the
pdf.
If you want a discount here
are some general guidelines.
Always ask: Senior’s
discounts are not always openly advertised. It is recommended that you ask
about whether or not the store offers a discount every time you make a
purchase.
Be prepared: Always have a
government-issued identification card with you that provides proof of senior
status, such as your passport, driver's licence, provincial health card, or Old
Age Status (OAS) card.
We wanted to make it easier
for you to determine your eligibility. That is why this Canadian Seniors
Discount Guide is organized by the following age categories: age not specified,
50 and older, 55 and older, 60 and older, 62 and older, and 65 and older.
