Seniors fuel saver
NSW SENIORS Card and Senior Savers Card members can now save four cents per litre on every fuel purchase at participating United service stations, using a digital or physical fuel discount card.
NSW Minister for Seniors Jodie Harrison said cost of living can be a challenge for older people and every dollar counts.

“This brand new discount has been added to the wealth of Seniors Card savings to help keep more money in seniors’ pockets and ease price pressure at the pump,” Minister Harrison said.
“We want our Seniors Card and Senior Savers Card holders to get the best possible benefits, discounts, and special offers, and we’re excited to launch the program’s first fuel discount with United Petroleum, an Australian-owned business offering discounts to members at the bowser.”
If seniors choose a digital card, this can be used straight away, while the plastic card will be delivered within five to 15 business days.
The NSW Seniors Card and Senior Savers Card are the largest programs of its kind in Australia and have been running for 31 years. Current discounts available on both cards include several to ease the cost of living:
