Do senior discounts apply to museums etc and if so who qualifies? At what age? Discounts on what restaurants, movies, attractions, hotels, etc? What ID for proof? What percentage is considered?

You must be a legal resident with a cedula and over 65.

There is also a 'Gold Card' for those over 65 with cedula, that one must apply for at your local CAJA office. This can take 1-2 months to receive.

Discounts vary as do those who honor it.

Do the discounts apply to purchases (such as large appliances) paid with credit cards, or do you have to pay cash to get the discount? (I already get some discounts when I pay cash.)

The card also gets you to the front of the line at banks, governmental offices, etc.

Yes, we like the bank 'perk', when there is an extremely long line!

Most stores will just provide a discount, using cash or credit card, just to get the sale and usually offer any further discounts for using the Gold Card'.
Or we may just get a discount from the 'gringo' price....

These offered discounts are NOWHERE near ...8-( ... the ones offered by Panama.
