One of the better things about getting older is getting discounts on various products and services you used to pay a fortune for. From cheaper train tickets to savings at the cinema, it's important we take advantage of the discounts available to us at any age. Whether you're approaching the milestone or you've already celebrated it, we have rounded up all of the major discounts you can claim once you've hit the big 6-0.

However, pensioners also get discounts on travel with major coach companies too.
Those living in London can travel for free with the 60+ Oyster Card . Meanwhile, in Wales and Scotland, discounted travel on local buses and some national services is available with Arriva Club 55 and the ScotRail Club 50 . On top of that, there is the National Express Senior Coach Card which grants seniors 1/3 off on standard and fully flexible coach fares.
Days Out Once we hit retirement age, we often find ourselves with more free time than we know what to do with. One way we can spend our days is by enjoying some days out and making the most of the attractions and activities on our doorsteps. For instance, National Trust offers a senior discount on their memberships if they have been a member of the National Trust.
