Library of Senior Discounts

[Recyclersteve]

I am recently retired but not yet 65. It occurred to me that there are probably tons of places out there which have senior discounts that many of us are not aware of. I want to refrain from discounts at places like Joe's Waffle House in Poughkeepsie, a one-of-a-kind place (just made up the name) or your local golf course. I'd like to publish discounts available from places that have locations either nationwide or in at least 20 or so states. I will look at this thread periodically and create a single list at the top of this thread which has things in order- alpha by name of business. Please provide the name of the business, age required for discount, amount of the discount, and any remarks (i.e., discount doesn't apply during dinner hours). You can also indicate details about loyalty programs (i.e., 1 free meal for every 10 purchases). Let's forget discounts that expire, such as 20% off til November 30, 2017.

I'm all about saving money when I can. This is an area where we can all help each other out. Thanks in advance. Here is the first one:

NOODLES & CO., 15% discount, no age requirement (manager said that anyone who asks for a discount gets 15% automatically- I never knew till today and I've been going there for years)

While this is not a "seinor" discount IT IS a retiree discount. There just isn't any age requirement.

Pensionado Program: 50% off entertainment anywhere in the country (movies, theaters, concerts, sporting events); 30% off bus, boat, and train fares; 25% off airline tickets; 25% off monthly energy bills; 30% to 50% off hotel stays; 15% off hospital bills unless insurance applies; 25% off at restaurants; 15% off at fast food restaurants;10% off prescription medications; Phone, water, and electricity bills, dentist and doctor visits, and more can be discounted by varying amounts; 1-time exemption on the importation of household goods up to $10,000 and an exemption from duties on the importation or local purchase of a car (every two years).

Other discounts and programs may apply.

There is no minimum or maximum age.

$1000 a month is your minimum required monthly pension draw.

That's Costa Rica?

Call me slow, but I just now realized that your post title says "Panama". I hadn't heard of the term pensionado, but I had heard of Costa Rica being a retirement haven. Searching for that term yields hits for both countries.
