You'll get over this one day.

In the U.S. do you have to belong to AARP to enjoy senior's pricing discounts?

In Canada, so far, we don't have an AARP. However there are some travel and hotel discounts if a person shows their birth certificate.

For a British Columbia Canadian resident (not sure about other Canadians), they can apply for and get a B.C. Ferries card which I believe gives them a nice discount during the week for any of the B.C. Ferries' rides..which is helpful if one has a vacation home, etc. on Vancouver Island, Gulf Islands and along the B.C. coast where ferries run. My partner is eagerly awaiting his card..he turns 65 in a few weeks.

to him...it just means more cycling avenues at a cheaper rate!

Since he has cycled alot several times all the way or part way across North American, he has taken advantage of the hotel/motel chain discounts and train fares. It has been to our advantage whenever I travel with him....the savings probably have been over $1,000CAN.over the past few years..at least so far.

With the burgeoning baby boomers set to retire big time...I hope those discounts still remain for us... and who cares what the ticket agent thinks about me when I show my birth certificate.
