Golden opportunities
Make the most of thousands of discounts with your SuperGold card today.
Turning 65 comes with mixed feelings for most. In many ways older people are younger and more modern than their predecessors and most have busy, social and independent lives, focused on helping others. But the reality is they’re often managing tight budgets too.
The good news is the SuperGold card is automatically sent to all New Zealand residents who get NZ Super, or Veteran’s Pension. SuperGold allows businesses and the government to support and contribute to the lives of older New Zealanders by helping stretch money further. The even better news is it provides more than just free off-peak public transport. There are more SuperGold offers and discounts available than many people realise. This includes everyday savings on essentials such as fuel, food, travel, car expenses and a range of healthcare.
START THE DAY ON THE FRONT FOOT
If you’re a SuperGold cardholder stepping out for a spot of breakfast or brunch, don’t forget Columbus Coffee and The Coffee Club offer delicious food, great coffees and 10 per cent off the total bill.
A RESPECTABLE SAVING
Once you’re sufficiently replete – in terms of both your body and vehicle (Challenge Fuel offers up to 15 cents per litre off their petrol and diesel for SuperGold cardholders) – why not take advantage of your discount and stop in at Bay Audiology for
$20 off a full diagnostic hearing test? Alternatively, there’s no need for a ‘should have gone to Specsavers moment’. Select one pair of glasses for over $169 and SuperGold cardholders are entitled to receive 25 per cent off the total price.
LIFE IS FOR LIVING
Up for some shopping? Update your homeware or stock up on craft supplies with a 15 per cent discount at Spotlight. Or maybe you just want to kick back and relax in front of a movie. Hoyts cinemas have $8 tickets for all movies running before 5pm daily.
TOP IT ALL OFF
At the end of a busy day it’s hard to go past a tipple. Raise your spirits by stopping in at Liquor King for 10 per cent off wine, seven per cent off spirits and six per cent off beers and cider. Cheers SuperGold.
