    Hi,

    Has anyone actually used the Senior Discounts, such as 50% off of airline tickets originating in Ecuador.  Is that, and others, a true discount?

    The discounts are real but the 50% discount on airline tickets is somewhat mislabeled. You get 50% off the highest published fare excluding the taxes and fees. Still on an expensive flight you enjoy substantial savings. Half price bus transportation and event tickets, free land line, and refund of the 12% IVA tax are totally legit. Plus you get to cut into the front of the line at the bank!

    I’m not old enough to qualify for the senior discounts yet, but I have many friends here who get discounts on public transportation (with is sort of ridiculous as it’s so cheap) and they get the IVA (sales tax) they pay returned to them every month. I think there is a cap on that of about $250 or so…
