How it's used
Focuses on specific eligibility criteria, such as age, student status, or membership. It implies a discount that is not available to the general public, distinguishing it from a standard sale or promotion. You will frequently see this on public transport signage or at ticket counters.
Examples
Elderly people get concessionary fares, remember to bring your ID.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 減價, which is a general price reduction or sale available to everyone. Using this for a store-wide clearance sale sounds unnatural because it lacks the sense of exclusive entitlement.
