Senior Discounts You Unlock at Age 62

Last updated 2026-07-15

62 is a landmark age: Social Security early retirement becomes available, the federal America the Beautiful Senior Pass unlocks lifetime access to national parks, and most major hotel chains flip on their official "senior rate."

Social Security early retirement benefits

You can begin drawing Social Security retirement benefits at 62 (with 10+ years of work history), though monthly payments are permanently reduced compared to waiting until full retirement age. (source)
