How about starting a thread for the over-50 discounts, too, please?0

Don't forget it is under attack along with age eligibility for state pension:

B & Q do a 10% reduction for pensioners certain days (need a card).
Wyvale have a 10% reduction day if you sign up for a card.
National Trust offer a pensioners subscription (need to ask for it)
Hairdressers/barbers often offer cut price haircuts for pensioners on certain days.
Entertainments often offer concession priced admissions for over 60's.
And, of course, your free Bus Pass from your local council.0 -
I've just received my Merseyside travel pass. I can use the buses, the Mersey ferries, ( if only they would stop playing that song), Merseyrail which can take me as far as Liverpool, Southport and Chester. Unfortunately Cheshire residents can't use their pass on Merseyrail.1

According to Working Lunch and the featured directgov website if your 60th Birthday falls after 6th April 2010 you will have to wait until your 'normal' pension age to get this benefit. The eligible date appears to follow the same staggered calculations as the incremental dates which change the women's pension age from 60 to 65. This applies to both men and women for the pass.:mad:0

Most theatres give concessions to over 60s. I recently tried to book War Horse on line. The cheapest ticket was £49. I went to the theatre direct and got a ticket for £35 and then £10 off for being an OAP. Always ask as they don't always advertise it0

Wyevale are now owned by a company called Garden Centres and no longer give a 10% discount. Instead they give double points on their new card on Tuesdays.
National Trust only offer a pensioner discount if you have been a member for at least 5 years.0 -

Unfortunately at Plymouth Argyle you have to be 65. Maybe the reason they don't get many supporters?:(0 -
If you take advantage of the Orange Wednesday, 2 for 1 tickets at the cinema and combine this with the Senior Screen at the Odeon the total cost is about £4, plus you get free hot drinks and biscuits. I go to Cardiff Bay Odeon but I am assured most other Odeons have the same set up so you can combine the two offers.0
