AT&T does not offer a specific, official "senior discount." However, qualifying individuals, including many seniors, can access significant savings through various programs, most notably through AARP membership and for veterans.
Understanding AT&T's Discount Programs
While there isn't a discount explicitly labeled "senior discount," AT&T provides ways for older adults to save on their mobile plans and services. These typically come in the form of partnerships or specialized plans that many seniors may be eligible for.
AARP Member Discount
One of the most widely accessible discounts for seniors is through AARP (formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons) membership. If you are an AARP member, you can receive a discount on your AT&T plan.
- Discount Amount: AARP members can get 10 percent off their qualifying AT&T plan.
- Eligibility: Must be an active AARP member.
- How to Apply: Typically, you would verify your AARP membership with AT&T, either online, in-store, or by phone.
Veterans and Military Discount
Veterans and active military personnel, which often includes many seniors, are eligible for a substantial discount on their AT&T services.
- Discount Amount: Veterans can receive 25 percent off their monthly AT&T bill.
- Eligibility: Available to qualified active military, reservists, National Guard, and veterans.
- How to Apply: Verification of military service is required, usually through an online portal or in an AT&T store.
Summary of Available Discounts
Here’s a quick overview of the key discounts that can benefit seniors:
Discount Type | Eligibility | Discount Amount |
---|---|---|
AARP Member | AARP Membership required | 10% off qualifying AT&T plan |
Veteran/Military | Active military, reservists, National Guard, and veterans | 25% off monthly AT&T bill |
How to Check for Eligibility and Apply
To determine if you qualify for any of these discounts or other potential savings, and to apply them to your AT&T account, you can:
- Visit the AT&T Website: Look for sections on "Discounts" or "Special Offers."
- Contact AT&T Customer Service: Speak directly with a representative who can guide you through available options.
- Visit an AT&T Store: Bring your AARP card or veteran identification for in-person assistance.
By leveraging these partnership and military discounts, seniors can significantly reduce their monthly AT&T expenses, even without a specific "senior discount" category.
