Ohio's Golden Buckeye Card

Tuesday December 9, 2008
The State of Ohio offers a wonderful program for citizens age 60 and older, and those over 18 who are permanently disabled. The "Golden Buckeye" card is sent free to those with a valid Ohio driver's license when you hit your 60th birthday. Others can apply with proof of age at most Ohio public libraries and senior centers.

The card is accepted at tens of thousands of Ohio retailers and service providers, including restaurants, florists, car repair shops, dry cleaners, animal hospitals, and lots more. Discounts range from 5 to 25 percent.

This is a wonderful gift from Ohio. There are so many places you can get a “free” drink, 10% off lunch/dinner, 2% gas price per gallon, and motel reservations. I couldn’t begin to add up all the money saved and “free” things I’ve gotten! Don’t take it as an insult of getting “old”….60 is just a number…your age is in your inner soul!

You can use your Buckeye Card at Arby’s Wendy’s, Burger King, etc. Just ask for the “senior discount”. It can be 10% of your purchase, a free drink; it depends on the franchise owner. I use it all the time! Its great!

You can use the golden buckeye card for discounts at Ohio State Parks. I know there is a very nice discount on the campgrounds.
