The closer it gets, the more you dread the approaching 50th birthday. But it’s not all horrible. While you may be too young to retire, you are now old enough to start taking advantage of “senior” discounts, particularly at department stores and vehicle rental firms.
Check out the following businesses that cater to people aged 50 and over, and you might be encouraged to take a seaside road trip – with a whole new outfit, no less.
Bealls
With all the excitement that “Bealls Day” brings, you’ll want to celebrate your 50th birthday on a weekly basis. So every Tuesday, the bargain department store offers great discounts.
The deals change from week to week, but they usually include an extra 15% off in-store purchases for anyone “50 years or older.” The next Bealls Days offers are also advertised on the chain’s website.
Bealls stores can be found in Florida.
Bealls Factory Store
If you join Bealls Outlet’s loyalty club, you will receive a 15% discount every Monday when you shop there.
Bealls Outlets can be found in Arizona, Florida, and Georgia.
Burkes Outlet Store
The identical deal found at Bealls Outlet can also be purchased at Burkes Outlet.
Burkes Outlets are spread throughout a dozen states, from Nevada to Virginia.
E-Z Rent-A-Car
Do you require a car hire as soon as you arrive at the airport? E-Z Rent A Car operates at major airports throughout the United States and gives a 10% discount when you reserve online.

This offer is applicable at all E-Z locations. The airports in the United States are located in 17 states and Puerto Rico.

Sixt Premium vehicles are often priced at a premium. However, thanks to Sixt’s Senior Car Rental Discount, you may have your Cadillac and enjoy it as well. If you book through the car rental company’s discount page, you can save up to 5% on their range of luxury vehicles. The discount is applied automatically.
Sixt has over 2,000 locations globally; however, this promotion is only accessible at branches in the United States.

AARP
Looking for more discounts that begin at the age of 50? Consider joining an organization such as AARP or the Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC) – or both. They provide members aged 50 and up with exceptional savings on eating, retail, travel, insurance, and other services.
AARP provides various options for low-cost insurance packages for your home, health, auto, and pets. Eating out is also made more reasonable, with 10% off at Carrabba’s and Outback, among many other places. In addition, AARP travel discounts include up to 30% off standard car rental rates.
A one-year AARP membership is $16, or $12 if you want it renewed automatically.
AMAC
AMAC Members of the Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC) get the same discounts as AARP members.
When you look through the advantages, you’ll notice savings for Friendly’s eateries, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts; Budget Rent A Car, apparel retailer Brooks Brothers, and much more.
A year’s membership in AMAC costs $16.
