1. Never pay full price for fuel
First, use the My NRMA app to find the cheapest fuel near you. Then, stack member offers to save up to 13c/L at Ampol Foodary. Finally, turn on app alerts to fill up when prices are at their lowest.

2. Stack your grocery discounts
Buy Woolworths eGift Cards through My NRMA Rewards to save 4%. Then, combine available offers, i.e. Woolworths Everyday Extra's monthly 10% discount, to save up to 14% on a large shop. Use it to stock up on non-perishables and always compare unit prices, not reward points.
3. Review your power bill
Switching plans can save hundreds each year. Compare your bill against the government's reference price, check your provider's cheapest offer and government rebates, and explore exclusive ENGIE NRMA energy plans.
4. Holiday smarter
Use your member benefits to save 10% at NRMA Parks and Resorts across the country and enjoy exclusive discounts at over 80 hotels including Rydges and QT. It also pays to keep an eye out for sales, book well in advance and consider travelling in the off season.
5. Save on the fun stuff too
Once you've reduced everyday expenses, there’s more left over for the fun stuff. Members can access discounts on food and dining, cinema tickets, school holiday attractions, learner driver lessons and more.
