Seniors Card Celebrates its 4th Year

While thousands of New Zealand pensioners wait patiently to see what the Government’s SuperGold Card has in store, New Zealand Seniors Card will launch their fourth Member Discount guide in Wellington this week.

Launched in 2004 New Zealand Seniors Card is an innovative shopping and travel programme, designed exclusively for people over 55.

Chris Herron, Director of Seniors Card, said the programme was the first of its kind to recognise the vital role that seniors play in the national economy.

“The programme recognises the massive spending power and influence of seniors and gives them the long-awaited opportunity to exert their buying power,” Mr Herron said.

Mr Herron said New Zealand Seniors Card had been warmly embraced by New Zealand seniors and business alike.

There are currently 35,000 Seniors Card members accessing over 4,500 discounts on travel, shopping, dining out, pharmacies and much more.

“Leading national chains, including OPSM, Resene ColorShops, Ford, VTNZ, Brumby’s and Mister MINIT have already recognised the value of joining Seniors Card.

“Combined with hundreds of individually owned businesses throughout the country, and businesses across Asia Pacific, the UK and USA, seniors now have the opportunity to save money on a huge variety of goods and services.” Mr Herron said.

The 2007/08 Member Discount Guide offers members additional benefits including more international attractions, accommodation savings in the UK, Seniors Card tours and great discounts at Seniors Card events.

Seniors wishing to purchase a New Zealand Seniors Card can do so at the launch for just $29 for a two year subscription.
