It's messed up that the big three don't offer a decent discount for single cell phone accounts. I have T-MOBILE so I pay $55 per month. If I had a a family of four T-MOBILE I would be charged $100 for all four plans. It's a scam.
Guys, Mint Mobile is very affordable. They use T-Mobile network. $25 x 3 months. It gets cheaper the further out you pay it’s five gigs of data and if you’re traveling to Canada, you don’t have to buy a Sim card. It’s free roaming.
Two lines does not necessarily mean two telephone lines. If you have an iPad or tablet, the second ‘line’ would be data (5G) service for that device. I am single and use both lines - nice to have the data plan for my iPad when traveling or if internet service is down when at home.
Great information. Thanks for sharing. Most of the time I forget to ask about senior discounts. My New Year’s resolution is to ask about senior discounts before I spend money anywhere and everywhere
I grew up with no electricity running water and no walls with my entire family here in the land of USA . I know how hard it was to live poor and I know how to be grateful for what I do have, and you talk about entitlement. The older you get your supposed to get wiser not dumber and heartless....

Thanks for the info. There are many good reasons not to belong to AARP. We choose not to be a part of that organization. You might want to research what your membership in that organization means.
Nicest young clerk at Walgreens told me about and gave me the Senior Discount on S.D. day. I never knew they had one. I was talking about how expensive everything was these days and she told me about it and gave it to me. 20 PER Cent off! THAT is a GREAT deal ! I am going to put together a calendar for senior discounts and other discounts so that I can take advantage of as many as possible. High prices are KILLING me!
Omg. This lady is going through what I am. My rent went up at the house. They took the 40$ I got as a raise in ssdi at the same time as the food stamps took 20$. That's why I don't want to get a raise
That's how it goes! You get a little increase in SS offset by an increase in medicare premium; a decrease in insurance benefits; internet goes up; rent or property taxes go up. And we can be sure that while Trump may get inflation down but prices will never go down to what they were before the Biden/Harris fleecing of America.
The Amazon benefit is not specific to seniors. That benefit is for anybody who receives any of those programs. A lot of seniors don't even receive those programs.🙁
It's not discriminatory to give price breaks to those most in need. You are comparatively better off if you don't need the help of any government assistance programs. Sure in a wonderful world everyone would get a great price on everything - but… capitalism.
Not sure if this applies to all states, but heating assistance pays 90-95% of heating bill. Property taxes are paid by the state for those over 65 that qualify.
I have to get important mail: I cannot allow AARP to hit my mailbox with their unending massive amounts of ads. The important mail gets lost in the mass of ads mail, not only that the P.O. Box is crammed with all their junk mail.
You listed Hampton Inn in the 15 extra, it's part of Hilton, so, it was already listed. Good luck getting these discounts at most locations, I'm always running into clerks that don't have a clue what I'm talking about and most of them don't care.
Why are there so many different ages for a senior, always puzzles me and I worked for AARP and I had thought 55 or 50 when at a time you could retire at that age, help me to understand please 😮😮

I’m 60 years old and my husband is 68 and on Social Security. Right now I have been the one carrying the Amazon prime membership. I have my husband on the account as my one person share. My prime renewal is December 12. If I cancel my prime membership on December 11, can my husband sign up for the discounted rate since he’s on Social Security? And then can he do the one person share on the senior discount plan and add me?
Yes, I appreciate if you do research on Wi-Fi and internet for seniors.It's outrageous now.I can't afford cable.So I just get the minimum Is wi fi internet Is very expensive.
I am on SSI. I cannot afford to shop on Amazon so the discount does not help me. I am on the State medical card, and Walgreens does not accept state medical cards, so that does not do me any good either. Also traveling to state parks is something that happens once every 6 years or so, when you are on SSI. Food discounts do not help either. When on SSI, whatever cost of living increase you get, food stamps takes away almost half of what you're increase was. Good try on your advice, but it mostly works for people on regular disability and retirement. For anyone on SSI, we get punished for being the poorest of the poor, other than being homeless.
If only people were given the same benefits illegals get. My neighbor worked so hard evite life gets $30 for food. Seniors and disabled shouldn't have to go to food banks to survive., we see the govt give livable benefits to illegals. Hopefully things might start to change.
When I was able to work, I was on various committees with Head start for children. I was on various local Town committees. Also with our local high school. Also working at my local hospital. After 40 years of serving my community, and country I have found that no matter how much you rally the troops, and shake the political tree, not much changes. The only thing I managed to change in 40 years, was, starting up support for battered men when I was a domestic violence counselor for our local DA. I have learned that things only change when the people at the top want it to, and when it suits and services them. n@@LightoftheMoon
Are you able to pay for Walmart Plus? They offer free delivery of groceries and free shipping and at times can be cheaper than Amazon if you buy sold by Walmart items. The membership for SNAP recipients is $50 for the whole year and you get Paramount plus for free as well. hth
I wait for the free Prime trial offers, sign up, buy what I need, then cancel before trial period us over. I get those offers a few times a year while shopping on Amazon. No way I'm paying 14.99 a month.
That sounds great but, being on SSI (80 years old) I cannot get to the 2nd step (Amazon's assistance page) in order to apply for those benefits. If you can provide me a link, it will be much appreciated.

@@sesame-dl2ym Not if you know what you're doing to begin with.
Who has extra money to travel? I’m lucky if I can pay all my monthly utilities bills and still purchase food.
Many seniors put off vacations til retired so I’m guessing they’re the ones who have saved and planned for the future.
Travel is what I live for now that I am retired!
Well we have plenty of credit cards . Pick the ones with no interest
The Amazon prime is not a senior discount. It is for low income
Discrimination if you don’t get govt assistance!!
Hence why, there’s various avenues for all seniors to get discounts in which low income families are in need of.
Why do you not mention AMAC discounts??? Not all seniors subscribe to AARP.
I will add them in my next update in January.
AARP is a complete waste of money!
AARP is absolutely not for me
They sold us out with Obamacare. Won’t ever do business with them.
