Retailer Loyalty Programs
Many popular clothing retailers offer loyalty programs that reward frequent shoppers, and seniors are no exception. Signing up for these programs often grants access to special discounts, early access to sales and even birthday treats. Stores like Kohl's, Macy's, and J. Crew are known for their loyalty programs, so make sure to inquire about any senior-specific perks.
Department Store Discounts
Major department stores are a treasure trove of options for senior discounts. Places like Belk, Dillard's, and Nordstrom typically have special days or events where seniors can enjoy extra savings. Don't hesitate to ask a store associate or check their website for specific details on senior discount days.
Local Boutiques and Thrift Shops
While larger retailers are commonly associated with senior discounts, local boutiques and thrift shops also deserve attention. These establishments may not advertise their discounts widely, so it's worth asking directly. You might be surprised at the hidden deals waiting to be discovered in your community.
Online Shopping Platforms
The digital age has brought forth countless opportunities for savvy shoppers, and seniors can also benefit from online discounts. Websites like SeniorDiscounts.com and RetailMeNot aggregate various discounts, including those for clothing. Keep an eye out for exclusive promo codes and special online sales events tailored for seniors.
Membership Organizations
If you're a member of organizations like AARP (American Association of Retired Persons), you're entitled to a myriad of discounts, including those on clothing. Check their website or membership perks booklet for a list of participating retailers. AARP has partnerships with numerous clothing brands, providing substantial savings for its members.
Senior Discount Days
Some clothing stores have dedicated senior discount days, where specific discounts are offered exclusively to older customers. This is a common practice among grocery stores, but it's gaining traction in the retail clothing sector, such as Ross Dress for Less. Keep an eye on local advertisements or inquire directly with your favorite clothing stores about any designated senior discount days.
Brand-Specific Discounts
Certain clothing brands have recognized the importance of catering to older demographics and have implemented brand-specific senior discounts. Tommy Hilfiger, Banana Republic, and Clarks are examples of brands that have offered discounts for seniors. Check with your favorite brands directly or explore their websites for any ongoing promotions.

When it comes to planning for the future, there are few things more meaningful than knowing your legacy will make a lasting impact. At GBU, we’re proud to offer members the tools and resources needed to protect what matters most while also providing meaningful ways to give back.
Since December 2024, donors have contributed an impressive $1,443,000 to
the GBU Foundation, establishing new scholarship, educational grant and
donor-advised charitable funds. These gifts help to shape a brighter future for
students, communities and charitable causes across the country.
Legacy giving, also known as planned giving, is a meaningful way to leave behind an impact on the causes and organizations you care about. By incorporating life insurance and annuities into your estate planning, you can maximize the benefits of your legacy gifts, ensuring they are both impactful and tax efficient.
As we move into the second quarter of another exciting year, I want to take a moment to reflect on our accomplishments and share some of the new initiatives we are implementing in the realms of sales, marketing and community engagement. Over the past year, GBU Life has reached significant milestones thanks to the dedication and hard work of our team and the trust and support of our members. Our sales department has exceeded targets, and we have expanded our reach to more communities than ever before. We have launched several successful marketing campaigns that have not only increased our visibility but have also strengthened our brand's presence in the industry. For this year, our focus will be educating potential new members on the importance of securing their financial futures through life insurance and annuity products while serving their communities as part of our great Society. Looking ahead, we are committed to enhancing our sales strategies to better serve you. We are introducing some tools for our agents to enhance our products. One new tool is our Defined Benefit Annuity program which combines the Future Flex Fixed Index Annuity (FIA) with a software tool that can help determine retirement savings needs and break them down into contributions over time to help you meet your retirement goals. Be sure to keep in touch with your GBU agent to review your plans and products to see how adding an FIA to your retirement planning can help boost your savings efforts
