Senior Deals and Discounts in Denver — Updated!

POSTED BY
MHOTC Staff

Nowadays, there are many advantages to becoming a “senior citizen,” but the one bargain hunters appreciate the most are the discounts offered by many retailers and restaurants. We’ve rounded up a few deals around town for the “older crowd.”

Because few senior offers are heavily promoted, review the following guidelines:

  • The definition of “senior” varies widely — the minimum age can be 50, 55, 60, 62 or 65. Ask first and be prepared to show a picture ID.
  • Price and participation varies greatly. This is particularly true for fast-food restaurant chains. If you’re unsure, call ahead or ask a manager before ordering.
  • Senior discounts may not apply to the entire party or bill — only the qualifying customer. Again, ask first.
  • Many offers are limited to specific times of the day or days of the week. Double-check, before making plans.
  • Senior discounts are not limited to national chains. Many locally owned businesses love older customers because of their loyalty. Stop by your favorite neighborhood spots and ask about deals.
  • Know what you’re getting. Many restaurants offer a senior menu at a discounted price, but it also usually means smaller portions — so the true savings may be minimal or non-existent.
  • Use your age to your family’s financial advantage. Consider tagging along with “the kids,” so they can use your discount — especially at drug and craft stores offering “Senior Days.”
  • Several deals require an AARP membership which costs $16 annually. The minimum age to join is 50. (The discounts alone are well-worth the price of membership.)

Look for other discounts, too. Don’t assume a “senior discount” is your only or best option. Oftentimes, you can find better savings via coupons, promos and offers available to the general public.

If you frequent a business or restaurant often, consider joining their e-club and/or loyalty program for exclusive coupons, promos and discounts. (Typically, you’ll receive better offers than just 10% off.)

Friendly Reminder: Double-Check Beforehand

Mile High On The Cheap does its best to thoroughly vet every item published and strives for 100% accuracy. However, sometimes details change without notice or errors may occur.
As always, prices, hours and participating locations may vary.
Some events and activities are still being canceled or postponed.
Please verify all deals and events with the business or venue, before ordering or making plans. 

 

Here’s a list of current deals. If you know of any we’ve missed, please send them to info@milehighonthecheap.com. We’ll check them out and add them when we can. List updated as of January 21, 2o21.
