Thank you to Vanessa Spiegel who has said that we can share this information with family and friends. A friend forwarded it to me and I thought I would share it with you here.
I hate to admit my age, but when there are substantial discounts involved, why not! So wherever you are Vanessa Spiegel, thank you.
I'm Not Getting Older, I'm Getting Discounts by Vanessa Spiegel BUT YOU MUST ASK FOR THEM !!!
As I was waiting in line behind an older gentleman at Wendy's recently, I heard him ask for his senior discount. The girl at the register apologized and charged him less When I asked the man what the discount was, he told me that seniors over 55 gets 10% off everything on the menu, every day.
Anyway, this incident prompted me to do some research, and I came across a list of restaurants, supermarkets, department stores, travel deals and other types of offers giving various discounts with different age requirements. I was actually surprised to see how many there are and how some of them start at the young age of 50. This list may not only be useful for you, your friends and family, but it might also be appreciated by your clients. You might consider sending them an e-mail about it and link to our site in the e-mail, or maybe include it in your newsletter.
