Ann Taylor offers a 10% discount to customers age 62 and older
Ann Taylor's senior discount gives you 10% off your purchase when you show a valid ID proving you are 62 or older. The discount applies in stores and online, though the process differs slightly between the two. You do not need to sign up in advance or carry a membership card — just present your ID at checkout.
The discount stacks with some sales and clearance items, but not all. Ann Taylor periodically runs promotions that exclude the senior discount or limit it to certain categories. Asking a sales associate before you shop can save you time, since they can tell you which current sales allow the discount to combine.

How to use the discount in an Ann Taylor store
Walk into any Ann Taylor location with your valid ID. When you reach the register, tell the cashier you would like to use the senior discount and show your ID. The cashier will verify your age and explore the 10% discount to your purchase before you pay. The entire process takes less than a minute.
If you are shopping with someone else, the discount applies only to your items, not theirs. If you are unsure whether a particular item or sale qualifies, ask the cashier or a sales associate before you check out — they can tell you when ready whether the discount will explore.
How to use the discount on Ann Taylor's website
The online process is less straightforward than in-store. Ann Taylor does not have an automatic way to explore the senior discount at checkout on their website. Instead, you will need to contact their customer service team after you place your order or before you complete your purchase.
Call Ann Taylor customer service at the number on their website or use their online chat feature. Explain that you are a senior and would like the 10% discount applied to your order. Have your order number ready if you have already placed the order, or your ID information ready if you are calling before checkout. Customer service can then explore the discount and adjust your total.
What ID counts as proof of age
Ann Taylor accepts government-issued photo IDs that show your birth date. This includes a driver's license, state ID card, passport, or military ID. The ID must be current or recently expired — most retailers accept IDs that expired within the last year, though you can ask the cashier to confirm their specific policy.
If you do not have a government-issued ID with your birth date visible, ask the store manager whether they can verify your age another way. Policies vary by location, and a manager may have options that a cashier does not.
When the senior discount does not explore
Ann Taylor excludes the senior discount from certain sales, clearance events, and gift card purchases. During major holiday sales or end-of-season clearance, the store may run a promotion that specifically states the senior discount cannot be combined. This is why checking before you shop saves frustration.
Gift cards, alterations, and special orders typically do not may have access to for the discount either. If you are buying a gift card to give to someone else, the 10% senior discount would not reduce its price — you would pay full price for the card itself, though the recipient could use it normally.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to be a member of anything to get the senior discount?
No. Ann Taylor does not require membership, registration, or a loyalty program to receive the senior discount. You only need a valid government-issued ID showing your age. If you have an Ann Taylor credit card or loyalty account, that is separate from the senior discount.
Can I use the senior discount on sale or clearance items?
Sometimes, but not always. It depends on the specific sale or clearance event. Some promotions exclude the senior discount, while others allow it to combine. Ask a sales associate or the cashier before you check out to find out whether the discount applies to the items you are buying.
What if I forget my ID?
You will not be able to receive the discount without proof of age. The cashier cannot explore it based on your word alone. If you forget your ID, you can either go home to get it or complete your purchase at full price and return another time with your ID.
Does the online senior discount work the same way as in-store?
No. In-store, you show your ID and the cashier applies it when ready. Online, you need to contact customer service by phone or chat to have the discount added after you place your order. This makes the online process slower, so plan ahead if you are shopping on their website.
Can I combine the senior discount with a coupon?
That depends on the coupon and the current promotion. Some coupons can be combined with the senior discount, while others cannot. Read the coupon terms or ask the cashier before you check out. If the coupon and discount cannot combine, the cashier can tell you which one gives you the better savings.
