Senior deals worth opening every Thursday

Travel deals worth packing for

Rail passes, river cruises, national park lodges and the airline fares that quietly drop on Tuesdays. We track senior rates at more than 300 travel companies and only send the ones that beat the public price, with the booking code, the deadline and the catch spelled out in plain English.

Restaurant deals close to home

Early-bird menus, birthday freebies, two-for-one Tuesdays and the national chains that still honor a senior discount if you ask. Tell us your ZIP code once and the list leads with places you can actually drive to, not deals three states away.

Free samples and everyday savings

Genuine free samples with no credit card required, plus the pharmacy, grocery, phone and streaming discounts most people never claim. Every freebie is requested by our team first, so we know it actually arrives and nobody ends up on a mystery subscription.

“I used to spend Sunday afternoons hunting for discounts. Now they come to me on Thursday, already checked. We took the train to Santa Fe on a fare I never would have found, and it paid for the hotel.”

Perks tailored to
each way you live:

The SeniorPerksList difference: built on trust, real savings and respect for your inbox

  • Every deal checked by a real person

    Before a perk goes in the list, someone on our six-person team clicks through, reads the terms and confirms the price. If a deal needs a membership, a minimum spend or an app, we say so in the first line, not the last.

  • One email a week, never a flood

    The list arrives Thursday at 7 a.m. Eastern and that is it. Flash alerts are opt-in and capped at two a month. Large type, clear buttons and no pop-ups, because reading your email should feel easy.

  • Your address stays private

    We have never sold, rented or traded a subscriber address and we never will. Sponsors pay to appear in the newsletter, not to reach your inbox directly, and every paid placement is labeled as one.

Questions, answered

Still wondering about something? Write to hello@seniorperkslist.com or call (828) 555-0147, weekdays 9 to 5 Eastern. A real person answers.

Is SeniorPerksList really free?

Yes. The newsletter is free and always will be. We are paid by sponsors who buy clearly labeled placements and by some retailers when you buy through our links. Neither changes the price you pay.

How many emails will I get?

One, every Thursday at 7 a.m. Eastern. Flash Perk Alerts are optional and limited to two a month. You can change either setting from the link at the bottom of any email.

Who counts as a senior for these deals?

It depends on the company. Some perks start at 50, many at 55, 60 or 62, and a few at 65. Every deal in the list shows its age requirement in the first line so you never get surprised at the register.

Will you sell or share my email address?

No. We do not sell, rent or trade subscriber addresses. Our email service provider stores them on our behalf, and that is the only company that ever handles them. The full details are in our privacy policy.

How do you choose the deals?

Our editors review about 600 offers a week and keep roughly 25. A deal has to beat the public price, be available in at least several states or online, and have terms we can explain in two sentences. Sponsors cannot buy their way into the editorial picks.

What if a deal has expired when I try it?

Reply to the email and tell us. We will check it the same day, correct the web edition, and mention the fix in the next issue. Expiry dates are listed whenever the company publishes one.

How do I unsubscribe?

Click "Unsubscribe" at the bottom of any email. It takes one click, there is no survey, and you will not hear from us again unless you sign up again.
