Hello Friend,
A new era for the SuperGold
Card
New Zealand First was excited this week
to announce major upgrades to the SuperGold Card, including a new
website and smartphone app, and
the addition hundreds of new SuperGold partners offering discounts
throughout the country to our nation’s 750,000 seniors.
Since its launch in August 2007, this
flagship New Zealand First initiative has helped hundreds of thousands
of New Zealand seniors, especially those living on a fixed income,
stretch their dollar further.
However, the previous National
Government’s 9-year-long neglect of the initiative meant that many of
the Card’s benefits could not be easily accessed, particularly for
those in the regions.
For New Zealand First, one of our first
orders of the day in government was the further development of the
SuperGold Card to bring it into the
21st century and ensure seniors can realise
its full benefits.
Through $7.7m of investment secured in
Budget 2019, two new digital platforms have been launched. The
redeveloped website is easier to use, with updated business listings
and information about the Card’s benefits, and the new SuperGold app
will ensure the benefits of the SuperGold Card can be more easily
accessed, displaying to the user all of the local businesses and
services offering SuperGold Card discounts.
500 new SuperGold Card partners have also
been brought on board, including Qantas, Countdown, Spark and The
Warehouse, who will offer nationwide discounts to cardholders. These
new partners bring the total number of businesses offer SuperGold
discounts to over 10,000.
You can find the new website
at: https://www.supergold.govt.nz/.
You can access the SuperGold app on your Android smartphone through
the Google Play Store, or if you own an iPhone, on the App Store.
