If you’re already an AARP member, you know that for just $16 a year you’re getting access to exclusive discounts for those 50 and over.  But… did you know you can use Plastic Jungle discount gift cards to stretch senior discounts even further?  It all depends on what age qualifies for ‘senior discounts’.

Save even more on Shirts, Skirts, and Slacks at Banana Republic!

Take your grandkids shopping or bring along your sister and head to the mall to explore all the classy clothing available at Banana Republic.  Look your best and pay less at Banana Republic with Banana Republic’s senior discount and Plastic Jungle’s Banana Republic discount gift cards.  You’ll save a total of 30% on top of any Banana Republic sales and discount prices when you pay using discount Banana Republic gift cards from Plastic Jungle (on sale for 20% less than face value).

To be safe on the qualifying age and percent of discount, call your local Banana Republic store before heading out to shop.  Most Banana Republic stores offer 10% off to those 55 and over. 

Elephant Bar Restaurant has a Special Senior Discount!

Grab your Bridge Club or Book Club friends and head to Elephant Bar Restaurant where seniors save 20% on all lunch and dinner food purchases.  Stack your senior discount with Elephant Bar Restaurant discount gift cards from Plastic Jungle available for 26% off and you’ll create a total savings of 46% off!  Elephant Bar’s senior discount is extended to those 60 and over and can be applied only to food (but not on any beverage; including alcoholic and non-alcoholic).  To receive senior discounts at Elephant Bar Restaurant you’ll need to pop in to any local Elephant Bar establishment and ask to become a Senior Explorer.  Enrollment is completely free and your senior discount can be used on your next visit.

The fine print?  Elephant Bar’s senior discount cannot be used for those under the age of 60, half orders, kid’s menu, lunch specials, happy hour, banquets, delivery, gift card purchases, or combined with other offers.

Seniors can dine at IHOP for less!

Hot breakfast, pancakes, biscuits & gravy, name your breakfast order and IHOP, otherwise known as The International House of Pancakes, will serve it hot.  If you’re 55 and over IHOP also gives you 10% off.  Pay with discount IHOP gift cards available for 10% off, and you’ll save 20% at IHOP.  That’s twice the discount!  IHOP loves serving seniors and even has a special Seniors Only menu which has breakfast, lunch, and dinner selections only for seniors.  (see below for details)  Try entrees such as the Senior Grilled Tilapia Hollandaise or Senior Pot Roast.  Seniors – Time your IHOP visit just right, and you can save even more.  Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 3:00 and 6:00 p.m. various locations offer buy one get one entrees for seniors.

Senior discounts vary by location, so be sure to call your local IHOP before stopping in.

The key to finding discounts for seniors is to ask if a store or restaurant has a program or is willing to give you a discount.  You never know what a local store might do for you.
