Abundance of Over-50 Discounts
SeniorDiscounts.com says it’s “the number one spot for for information on age-related discounts.” It’s a database of more than 150,000 businesses that offer discounts for seniors or “over-50 discounts.”
To see the full database, you must register and become a member at seniordiscounts.com. You also will have to pay a small membership fee for full access to the database, but it’s a small amount so you won’t need a fast cash loan to pay for it.
Free Basic Membership at seniordiscounts.com
There are three levels of membership at seniordiscounts.com. The site says the Free Basic Membership for over-50 discounts includes:
- A subscription to our weekly email newsletter which includes news about senior discounts, hot deals, polls, and a trivia challenge with great prizes.
- Access to our discussion boards, blogs and our News & Articles section, enabling you to have discussions with other discount-minded seniors and keeping you up-to-date on the best strategies for finding discounts.
- Access to other senior discount related news and events.
While these are certainly good perks, and you can’t beat the price,the real strength at seniordiscounts.com lies in the database of 150,000 businesses that offer over-50 discounts.
Gold Membership at seniordiscounts.com
In order to have access to the full database of over-50 discounts, you need to purchase a Gold Membership at seniordiscounts.com. It’s only $7.95 per year. Gold Membership includes:
- All the information and access of Basic Membership
- Total access to the discount database, which allows you to see all 150,000 discounts.
- Complete contact information for all discount providers, including discount information, business details, and links to business web sites.
- Ability to read and post reviews of businesses and discounts.
Premium Membership at seniordiscounts.com
The Las Vegas Hilton is offering exclusive over-50 discounts.
Seniordiscounts.com has partnered with some businesses to offer exclusive, members-only over-50 discounts. Of course, that’s going to cost you. The Premium Membership costs $12.95 per year and includes:
- All the benefits of Basic and Gold Membership
- A SeniorDiscounts Card entitling you to exclusive members-only discounts
- A copy of SeniorDiscounts’ Guide Book, which is a printed version of our discount database – a $14.95 value. (Additional $4.95 Shipping and Handling)
Ah, $12.95 per year, plus you must pay for shipping one of your extra benefits to you. I’d say you should stick to the Gold Membership, but I don’t know what the exclusive, members-only over-50 discounts are, and it’ll be a few years before I can find out.
