  WV has a "Golden Mountaineer" program for those 55 and up.  One got a
card (they applied for) where at participating businesses one usually got about
10 per cent off purchases. 
  I used to see signs on doors all over the place for discounts on dining,
etc.  
  After I got my cards all those signs seemed to disappear.  Haven't seen
one in years.
