What is Union Shopper?
Union Shopper is Australia’s largest union-owned membership benefits program. It has been around for over 35 years, providing great $$ savings to union members and their families. These savings are not available to the general public.
Union Shopper is 100 per cent union-owned, and 100 per cent not-for-profit, run solely to benefit members. Think of it a bit like wholesale: the united bargaining power of a large membership – aka: all the participating unions across the country – enables them to secure significant savings for members.
In many cases, you’ll be shopping where you’d usually shop – at businesses such as Woolworths, Myer or The Good Guys – but by doing so through Union Shopper you’ll be able to access a better deal, potentially saving you thousands of dollars on your purchases each year.
Members are also able to receive cash back on purchases from participating services if they register their credit or debit card with Union Shopper. Current cashback offers include:
- up to 30% for NordVPN
- up to 15% with CarHistory
- up to 9% at Vision Direct
- up to $75 at Hertz
Union Shopper will also occasionally organise special offers exclusively for ANMF members.
