International Seniors Cards

We’re often asked if you can use your Seniors Card when travelling overseas and while not officially recognised, many businesses will honour the discounts they give their own seniors, so it’s always worth asking.

You can get many discounts overseas by being joining a seniors' association such as American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) (US$12.50 a year) or Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CAN$19.50 a year). Also see New Zealand Seniors Card.
