Older Americans May Be Missing out on Hundreds of Dollars’ Worth of Discounts Each Year and Could Save Significantly on Holiday Shopping This Season Alone

Charlie Saver is Free to Use and Available to All Older Americans, Not Just Charlie Customers

LOS ANGELES: Just in time for the holiday shopping season, Charlie, banking* for 62+ Americans, launched CharlieSaver, the most comprehensive source for senior discounts nationwide. CharlieSaver has scoured stores all across America to identify over 20,000 senior discounts across 1,000 shopping centers. CharlieSaver is free to use and available to all older Americans, not just Charlie customers.

Senior discounts are an excellent way for older Americans to stretch their budget and make the most of the hard work they've put in over the years. This is especially true given that nearly half of older Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck, and over 17 million American adults over 65 are economically insecure.

At the same time, there are thousands of senior discounts available to this population that are difficult to find and impossible to keep track of. Older Americans could be missing out on hundreds of dollars in savings each year because there is no way to know about all the discounts available to them, and many retailers only offer a discount when asked directly by a customer.

CharlieSaver does the important work of gathering all senior discounts in one simple-to-search website. CharlieSaver will continue to expand as new deals are discovered and more stores and restaurants join in to offer these valuable discounts. Charlie is also encouraging the public to share any discounts they find that are not listed on the platform and invites retailers to reach out if they want their senior discount included in CharlieSaver.

CharlieSaver is Charlie’s latest effort to empower older Americans to make the most out of their money and keep it safe. Last week, Charlie announced Family FraudShield, a first-of-its-kind financial conversation guide aimed at helping people discuss financial fraud with their older parents and relatives. In June, Charlie introduced SpeedBump, a proprietary combination of pauses, alerts, and real-time education introduced at the exact moments customers are most vulnerable to fraud. In November 2023, Charlie launched FraudShield, a comprehensive, personalized suite of fraud protection tools built exclusively for the unique needs of 62+ Americans.
