List of the 49 Best Senior Discounts


Key takeaways: In Quebec and Canada, senior discounts often start as early as age 50 or 55, but the majority of in-store discounts apply from age 60 or 65. You generally receive a 10% to 20% discount upon proof of age (health card or driver’s license). Among the most generous retailers: Giant Tiger (10% on the first Monday of the month, age 60 and over), Korvette (15% on the first Monday of the month, age 55 and over) and the FADOQ network. At Jean Coutu, the senior discount depends on each branch. Always verify conditions with the merchant, as they change quickly.
Many businesses and stores offer special discounts to individuals who have reached a certain age. These in-store senior discounts are a valuable opportunity to enjoy reductions and save on your daily purchases.

A 10% to 20% senior discount is good. Stacked with a loyalty program and the right credit card, it becomes a real savings lever. Here’s how to do it.
1. Stack the senior discount with your loyalty card. At Shoppers Drug Mart, the 20% Thursday discount already requires the PC Optimum card: so you get the discount AND the points on the same purchase. The same logic applies with the Moi card at Brunet and Jean Coutu, or Scene+ at Rachelle Béry and Lawtons.
2. Pay with a cashback card. A card that gives 2% to 5% cashback adds a third layer of savings on top of the discount and points. Here’s what that looks like on a $100 purchase at Shoppers Drug Mart on a Thursday:
| Step | Amount |
|---|---|
| Regular price purchase | $100.00 |
| Shoppers Drug Mart senior discount (20%) | -$20.00 |
| Subtotal paid | $80.00 |
| Credit card cashback (2%) | -$1.60 |
| Net cost | $78.40 |
You pay $78.40 instead of $100, which is a 21.6% saving, not including the PC Optimum points accumulated on the purchase.
3. Schedule your big purchases for the right day. Most discounts fall on a specific day: 1st Monday of the month (Giant Tiger, Korvette, Laura Secord), Tuesday (Rexall, M&M Food Market, Rachelle Béry) or Thursday (Shoppers Drug Mart). Plan your important purchases for these days rather than going randomly.
4. Do the math before joining FADOQ. The card costs $30 per year. If it reduces your car insurance premium by $30 or your bank fees by $5 per month, it’s already paid for itself. First, list the discounts you will actually use, then decide.
5. Always ask, even when it’s not advertised. Many museums, cinemas, theaters, transportation companies, and municipalities have a senior rate that they don’t heavily advertise. Ask at the counter.
To choose the card that earns the most on your recurring expenses, consult our credit card comparison.
A multitude of museums, transportation companies, cinemas, tourist attractions, theaters and municipalities have preferential rates for people of a certain age. Don’t hesitate to ask.
For recurring expenses (groceries, online purchases, restaurants), a cashback card makes a real difference. Use our credit card comparator to filter among the 200+ Canadian offers, or take a look at our top cashback cards, updated monthly. Our favourite for these expenses: the BMO eclipse Visa Infinite* Card which earns 5 points per dollar on groceries, takeout and food delivery, gas, and public transit.
It depends on the business. Some discounts start as early as 50 or 55 years old (notably via FADOQ), but most in-store reductions apply from 60 or 65 years old. Consult the list above to find out the exact age required at each brand.
Yes, in most cases. At Shoppers Drug Mart, the 20% Thursday discount even requires the PC Optimum card, so you get the discount and the points on the same purchase. Then pay with a cashback credit card to add a third layer of savings. It’s stacking that makes the real difference, not just the senior discount.
Many government and medical services are available from age 65.
For example, visit the Quebec government’s website or the Canadian government’s website for what can be very advantageous for you. Also, check out the list of discounts available at the above stores.
FADOQ (Fédération de l’Âge d’Or du Quebec) is the largest seniors’ organization in Canada and offers over 1,000 advantageous discounts or exclusive privileges. These discounts cover groceries, finance and insurance, restaurants, electronics, health and beauty products, and more.
The price to obtain this FADOQ privilege card is $30 for a 12-month membership or $55 for 24 months. By browsing their site, you can see the different offers. For example, a new insurance policy with lower premiums thanks to a FADOQ membership quickly pays for itself.
On the first Monday of every month, seniors aged 60+ receive a 10% discount before taxes on selected products, in store, at participating Giant Tiger stores.
Each branch is different, and you must ask at the pharmacy counter to find out if they participate in a senior discount program. Many branches do not offer it, and it depends on the choice of the pharmacist-owner.
This privilege card gives you 10% off the regular price on selected eligible products, every day. At the same time, swipe your Moi card at Jean Coutu for more points and to save.
