There seem to be senior discounts on anything, whether it's tickets, tourist attractions, car rentals,  hotel stays, or other facilities, and even cable discounts!  Although most cable providers will work with seniors within their price range to decide on a cable package, a small few offer exclusive senior packages. Read them below.
