Does Friendly's Give AARP Discounts? (2026 Update)

VARIES

Friendly's's AARP discount availability is not uniform — it varies by location, plan, or specific product line. 10% off at participating locations for guests 55+ Because availability is inconsistent, we recommend contacting your local Friendly's location or checking the AARP member benefits portal directly before assuming a discount is available. Some restaurants brands offer different promotions in different markets, so the discount you see advertised may not apply everywhere. Always ask a representative about current AARP member pricing when making a purchase or reservation.

How AARP Restaurants Discounts Work

Restaurant AARP discounts typically range from 10% to 20% off your total dine-in bill. Most restaurant chains require you to present a valid AARP membership card before ordering — digital membership cards in the AARP app are accepted at most locations. These discounts are generally limited to dine-in orders and cannot be combined with other promotional offers, coupons, or happy hour pricing. Some restaurant chains offer senior discounts (usually 55+) separately from AARP benefits, so it is worth asking your server about both. Breakfast and casual dining chains tend to have the most generous senior discount programs.

About AARP Membership

AARP (formerly the American Association of Retired Persons) is a nonprofit membership organization for people aged 50 and older. Membership costs $20 per year ($12 with auto-renewal) and includes access to discounts across restaurants, hotels, car rentals, retail, health care, insurance, and entertainment — plus advocacy on issues affecting older Americans, the AARP Bulletin and Magazine, and access to the AARP member benefits portal.

With over 38 million members, AARP is one of the largest membership organizations in the United States. The discount program partners with hundreds of national brands across dozens of categories. Not every brand participates, and discount terms change periodically — which is why Senior Health Times maintains this directory with verified, up-to-date information on which brands currently offer AARP savings and how to claim them.
