Pensioners in Andalucia have saved a combined €69,657 on eyewear during the first half of 2026, as reported by the regional government. The savings were made possible by the Tarjeta Andalucia Junta 65 card scheme, which rewards loyalty with cash back at the till. A total of 2,222 cardholders took advantage of the scheme, making 2,284 purchases at participating opticians.
The amount saved depends on the tier of the card: 30% for the standard Green tier and up to 55% for the income-tested Gold tier. The discount is automatic and does not require a separate refund process. There are over 400 opticians in Andalucia that accept the card, including those in rural and smaller towns. The list of affiliated shops is available on the Junta de Andalucia's website.
The scheme's funding for 2026 is €187,875, designated for optical bonuses under the Tarjeta Andalucía Junta 65. To claim savings, cardholders simply need to present their card at a participating optician's till.
