Age brings not only advantages, but also a few bonuses that you should know. Here are a few of them!
The standard of living of pensioners is different in every country. For example, in neighboring Poland, senior citizens receive a special “pensioner’s card” that confirms their senior status. Thanks to this, they have a large number of discounts at their disposal, which ordinary Poles do not even think about. “Card holders can buy cheaper in shops, but they also have discounts in pharmacies, cultural facilities, sports grounds, and also in regular transport,” says one of the Czechs who regularly travels to Poland.

Card in the phone
It is not difficult to get such a magical card. It is enough for the interested party to go to a branch of the Social Security Administration and ask for the card to be issued. The office will make it in a plastic version, which he can then carry in his wallet. Seniors who have a smartphone (and know how to use it) don’t have to wait for anything. From 2023, they have the option to download a digital version of the card on the mObywatel platform, which they can upload to their phone.
Karta seniora
And how are we doing in the Czech Republic? According to the law, every citizen who receives a pension is entitled to a senior card. “If you are a senior over 65, you have the opportunity to draw a lot of discounts, for example on medicines or a TV license,” says the expert. And that’s not all! On the website http://www.kartaseniora.eu you can see a list of discounts that you can easily take advantage of.
