We know Dunkin’ caters to Gen Z and millennial tastes and has launched trendy collaborations like changing up its menu with Sabrina Carpenter’s Espresso or catching the “Shorty King” trend in 2024.
But what about Dunkin’s perks and considerations for older customers? While many aspects of the chain remain the same no matter which store you’re in (despite some claims that different donut flavors vary from store to store), discounts do vary. Currently, Dunkin’ has no clear or chain-wide senior discount policy.
With no information available on Dunkin’s website or social media, your best bet is to call or visit your local store to see if they offer any secret deals or perks for older customers.
While the vast majority of older Dunkin’ lovers will have better luck at competitors like Krispy Kreme, which offers senior discounts at least in some stores, Dunkin’s approach is largely up to each franchise owner, who ultimately decides which promotions and offers to offer.
Some stores may offer small discounts, while others may give away free donuts or drinks, but nothing is set in stone.
Dunkin’ is tight-lipped about its senior discounts, and in many cases doesn’t offer them at all. Even where they do, don’t expect them to be advertised—thrifty foodies are left to find them out on their own. But like many chains, Dunkin’ does offer a variety of lesser-known savings tricks that have no age restrictions.
The most obvious example is mobile ordering through the Dunkin’ app, which offers a variety of rewards for customers of all ages, such as free coffee or snacks for accumulating certain points, special birthday rewards, and other rotating exclusive offers. Other lesser-known perks include access to happy hours, certain national holidays, and discounts for bringing your own mug—though that last one is entirely up to the store.
However, when it comes to age-specific rewards, Dunkin’ treats all customers, senior or not, roughly the same; that is, Dunkin’ occasionally offers discounts, but they’re not available at all locations (though it seems like students may be more likely to get discounts than seniors). The moral of the story: It always pays to ask. Maybe.
