Customer Reviews

Great deals!

For bargain hunters of a "mature age", this is a very complete guide.

Worth it for the phone numbers alone

This book does three things that make it a valuable present for people 50, 62, 65 and between and above. It lists all the kinds of things you can get a discount on, from travel onward, and tells you what age the discount is available for; it provides contact numbers so you can easily get more information; and it reminds you of things you might not have thought about, like ASKING for a discount on golf, volunteering to be a foster grandparent, or going to a summer tap dancing camp (among other choices) for elders.

A score for mature travelers

Author Joan Heilman scores for mature travelers with this on-target, informative and annually-updated book. Mature adults can travel more and pay less by reading and referring to this book.

This is a great birthday gift!

I give a copy of this book to every one of my friends who turns 50 (and those who are over 50 but don't have a copy yet). I believe that it belongs in the library of every over-50 person! It is filled with endless travel perks, and non-travel perks, that (in most cases) you have to be at least 50 to get. This book is one of the reasons I not only was not depressed about turning 50 (two years ago), but actually started looking forward to it. Joan Heilman gives us reason after reason to celebrate entering the second half of our lives. This book is perfect for all independent, thinking, fun-loving people who are 50 and over.

Good book but a little out-dated

This is an excellent book with some great values in it. Unfortunately, it is 3 years old and needs updating since many of the deals have changed or some have been discontinued. There is a wealth of information and savings that can pay for the price of the book in one hotel stay. REALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE AN UPDATE PUBLISHE
