So 2022 is well and truly here and we are bloody excited about it. We’ve officially been sending out our newsletters for more than six months, we’ve had our forum for more than four months, and we feel like we are getting into the swing of things. And you know what? We feel like you guys are too.

So, what can you, as a member of our club, expect from us in 2022?

An updated 2022 version of ‘The Ultimate Seniors Discount Club Guide eBook’
Members, you spoke and we listened. The updated 2022 version of our ‘Ultimate Seniors Discount Club Guide’ will include:

• Even more deals and discounts Australia wide. We’ve been researching our bottoms off trying to find as many deals and discounts across the nation for you to take advantage of. From restaurants, to cafes, to gyms and pools and even retail shops, we’ve found even more places you can bag a bargain.
• More deals and discounts for rural areas. For our rural members, we know our 2021 eBook didn’t have too many deals available to you. If we are being completely honest with you all, unfortunately they are not as easy to find as they should be. However, we have found far more deals for you rural folk that we are hoping you enjoy taking advantage of!
• A larger focus on connecting seniors. Although it’s no secret we love a deal and a discount, we wanted to provide even more value to our members. That’s why we’ve added a segment to our eBook about the ‘Seniors Connect’ program run by the Australian government. We want our members to connect with other members, but we also don’t want you to just be connected by our club. We want to make sure no matter where you are in Australia, you can make new friends, meet new people and enjoy making new connections.
• A new and improved ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ Segment. As our club grows, we get questions everyday from new members. We’ve collated these questions and have a new and improved ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ segment, where we answer all your questions ranging from how to get your Seniors card to the best place to do your grocery shop.
• And so much more.

Our updated 2022 eBook will be landing in your inbox in January. So keep your eyes peeled, my friends!

More of our Daily Newsletters
Our daily newsletters seem to not only bring us a lot of joy, but you as well, so they aren’t going anywhere in 2022! But what you can expect is for us to mix things up a bit… We’ve been tossing up between a few ideas but here’s what we think we might try in 2022:

• More stories written by our team. We have some super exciting news! We are welcoming another member to our team in January 2022. His name is Dan, and he is so cool he is even in a band. He’s going to be helping Jon, Vella, James, Sean and I with writing even more stories for you all to enjoy. From investigative journalism to testing products. Dan will be on board to help deliver you stories that we know you will enjoy.
• A morning and afternoon newsletter. If one newsletter is enough for you, then that’s absolutely fine. We aren’t going to send two newsletters daily to everyone, only to the members who want an afternoon email. We are thinking of pulling segments out of the morning newsletter like our petrol prices, and our ‘On This Day’ segment and adding it to an afternoon newsletter, with even more content for you to enjoy. This is something we may look at introducing in the coming months.
• Product testing. If there’s one thing that we learnt in 2021, it was that you lot love to know what products are worth buying, and what products are a complete waste of money, and honestly, who can blame you? We are thinking of introducing a weekly segment where we are going to buy products from multiple supermarkets or retail stores and compare them with each other. From figuring out which supermarket has the best, more affordable baked goods, to figuring out whether that $20 kettle from Kmart is just as good as that $120 one from David Jones. We’ll be testing the products and giving you honest reviews.
• Member spotlights. It’s no secret how much we love and admire each and everyone of our members. That’s why we have been dying to introduce this segment! We will be introducing a member spotlight, where we interview members about their stories and share them with you on a weekly or monthly basis. We will let you know when we are ready for this one by doing a callout to see who is interested in being interviewed and sharing their story. Of course, there is absolutely no pressure to get involved, this would only be available to members who would like to share their story for everyone else to enjoy reading.
• New and improved sponsors. As many of you may know, we have been so lucky to have been supported by our daily newsletter sponsor ‘Compare Club’ who has helped us bring this daily newsletter to life. Without their sponsorship, we wouldn't be where we are today and we will be working with them in 2022. We will ALWAYS be completely transparent about who is sponsoring us and you will never come across an ad in our newsletter without it being very clear that it is indeed, a sponsored segment. We are currently looking at getting more sponsors on board who we believe will be of use to you all. We are only going to work with sponsors that we believe will provide a valuable product or service to you, and we want you to know that if they don’t deliver exactly that, then we want nothing to do with them.

Our ‘normal’ daily newsletter will be back in your inbox from January 4th!

A new and improved website
We know many of you love our daily newsletter and also love our website. If you aren’t already a member of the website, then we recommend you sign up right here because it’s about to get better than ever. In 2022, we are changing our website ever so slightly and are introducing some exciting new assets:

• Brain training. We want to build crosswords, word searches and sudoku on our website so you lot can enjoy some brain training whilst having a browse. We are even looking at building these games so that you can compete or team up with each other online. Connect with others and train your brain, all in the one place.
• Even more daily deals. We know you get daily deals in the newsletter, but you know what? 3 deals a day aren’t enough. You may have seen these deals be slowly introduced at the end of 2021, but in 2022 we will be posting daily deals on the forum. These deals will range from the best daily grocery deals, to appliances, clothing and even chemist products.
• A new design. Don’t worry folks, we aren’t changing the design too much, we just want to make the forum a whole lot easier for you all to use. So, we are introducing little things like having the most popular articles, deals and discounts, brain training, competitions and more, at the top of your home page, so they are easier to find. We are going to have a deals segment on the homepage too, so if you’re looking for a specific deal ro discount, you can easily navigate your way there. We are also introducing images, so you know, the forum is a little bit nicer to look at There will be no big changes, just little changes to make your lives a whole lot easier.

Honestly, we are wanting to do so much in 2022 for you, that there’s probably far more happening this year than what we’ve said above! We have so many ideas, that either we’ve come up with, or you have, that we’ve lost count! We cannot wait to see what this year brings and as always, if you have any ideas or suggestions, post them in the comments below! We will do our best to make them happen.

 

[Lindyloo]

Looking forward to getting all the "extras" that you will be sending our way. Thanks to all the team members for your hard work!

 

[Noelene]

Enjoy your email information and looking forward to more interesting extras. Keep up the great work!

 

[Lindyloo]

Where do you live? If in NSW and live rural you can get a $250 fuel card. I don't know about other states but I would imagine they have something similar.

How do you get the $250 fuel card?

 

[chezna]

Great ideas, I especially look forward to product reviews.

I really like the daily emails, but could you PLEASE fix the daily weather forecast, which is ALWAYS way off! Your forecast is always colder than the real one, often up to 10 degrees difference (and I am comparing to the BOM's forecast for the same location).

Totally agree! Mine is saying 26.6o today when in fact It’s going to be 33o

 

[Maddison Dwyer]

This all sounds good - I like the specials, unfortunately we don't have Aldi in Tasmania and it makes me miss Aldi so much. Anyhow its good to see what Coles and Woolies have.
I would really LOVE to see more thrift articles as the pressure increases on our pensions we need to make the dollars go so much further. Recycling, reusing, repurposing making do etc.

@Evol P I had absolutely no idea there wasn't any Aldi's in Tasmania! I feel awful now I'm so sorry! I should have done some more research into their locations. Don't worry, I'll get researching on Tassie grocery prices, we are thinking of doing a break down per state now, seeing every state is certainly not in the same position when it comes to price hikes. We will keep you in the loop!

 

[Vinylted]

Where do you live? If in NSW and live rural you can get a $250 fuel card. I don't know about other states but I would imagine they have something similar.

A lot depends on your location I guess, if reasonably able bodied there are always buses trains etc if you live in suburbia. A lot of the seniors in our village have given up their cars finding the half price taxi vouchers are cheaper than maintaining a car that is hardly used.
If you are out in the scrub then that becomes a lot more difficult. sigh...

Thanks, Vinylted. I do get half-price taxi fares. I use them for travelling longer distances, but if I'm motoring around locally I like to use my car

 

[Jumbody]

Love getting the daily email. I love to save money on products - but I support Aussie owned and made. Really excited about the new ideas for 2022.

 

[DanielCroft]

Nice to meet you all. As mentioned above I'm Dan and I'll be joining the Seniors Discount Club team, working to bring you all some great stuff for you to dig your teeth into. If you're interested I have written a post in the new member's section of the forum giving you a little taste of who I am. I look forward to getting to know you all!

Thank you, Team SDC, for all the effort you put into this project ...

Allow me one suggestion, please: Could you add a 'care/caring' option to the response button options?

Tried Sudoku once & loved it but haven't been able to bring it up again. I know I'm doing something wrong but not sure what.

Hi @Ezzy - have you tried here? https://seniorsdiscountclub.com.au/threads/the-official-sudoku-thread.4727/
