Using your SuperGold Card

Information and tips on how to use your card.

Card shopping tips

To get the most out of your card:

  • Take your card with you everywhere you go.
  • Search the online directory for the latest discounts.
  • Look for the "SuperGold Cards Welcome" stickers displayed by participating businesses.
  • Look for the SuperGold Card logo on advertising from participating businesses.
  • Show your card to receive your discount/concession.
  • Shop around and compare prices. The SuperGold Card does not guarantee you the best price.

General discount conditions

  • Discounts apply to SuperGold Card holders only. Unless otherwise stated they do not apply to family members or friends.
  • Unless otherwise stated, the discount/offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer. Make sure you ask the business offering the discount whether there are any conditions before making a purchase.
  • Always ask what the normal quoted price is before asking for the SuperGold Card discount or presenting your card. This will help ensure you receive your full discount.
  • Present your SuperGold Card at the time of booking or prior to making your purchase. Some businesses may find it difficult to process a discount once a transaction has been completed.
