The SuperGold Card programme, run by the Ministry of Social Development, acknowledges the contributions made by seniors and veterans to New Zealand society.
SuperGold – or the ‘gold card’ – gives our seniors golden opportunities to stretch their money further. SuperGold is one way the government and New Zealand businesses can say thank you or tēnā rawa atu koe for everything our older people have done for Aotearoa, by raising families, working, or helping in the community.
There are two versions of the SuperGold card; an ‘S’ branded card and ‘V’ branded card specifically designed for veterans.
The card is automatically sent to people receiving New Zealand Superannuation and Veteran’s Pension and to other people who are 65+ in certain circumstances.
