QLD: Govt extends Seniors Card benefits
BRISBANE, Aug 9 AAP - Queensland's 375,000 Seniors Card holders can get up to 15 per cent
discount from big ticket purchases under a new state government scheme.
The Seniors Shopper Scheme, similar to Union Shopper for trade unionists, provides
consultants who will track down the best price for items such as electrical goods, computers,
cars and furniture.
Families minister Anna Bligh said: "On average, seniors will save between 10 and 15 per
cent off the marked price, with no delivery fee added."
Seniors Card holders already receive discounts on transport, electricity, car registrations
and dental and optical services.
Premier Peter Beattie said the card also provided discounts at more than 10,000 businesses
around Australia.
