Restaurant Discounts For Seniors: 2020
With the majority of resaturants moving towards app based customer promotion and loyalty accounts, it is tough to keep track of where seniors can find a deal on a meal. The 10% usually offered doesn't seem like much but that is 10 cents on the dollar and can really add up.
Considering most restaurants offer a lunch sandwich for about $6.00 without tax or gratuity, eating out for lunch or dinner can be expensive. For Seniors, it can add up a lot of savings. The $6 sandwich at lunch would be $5.40 when a senior discount is applied and that can add up if you're going out two to three times a week. So, having a deal like that can open up the budget a little more for a nice sit down meal or a chance to get out and meet friends or family.
We at Gift Card Granny called local locations and even reached out to a few branches across the USA to verify these deals to give you an accurate list for 2019. Whether you're using your membership card for an AARP restaurant discount or want to start dining at establishments that offer a senior discount, this restaurant discount list can be a helpful resource. What's more, combine these offers with a discount gift card and you can really cash in on the savings. Depending on the restaurant or gift card deal, you can save 5% to 20% on your bill!
