Annual Season Ticket Holder Benefits

Just found out that if your partner buys an annual season ticket with some rail companies, like Network Southeast, then you can get a Network Card for 1pound (normally costs 20 pounds). Up to 3 adults then get 1/3 off their rail fare and kids between 5 and 15 pay 1pound for the whole trip.

I can't see whereit says you can buy the card for £1 but it does say

"Holders of Gold Card season tickets and Travelcards receive:

• 34% discount on Standard Class Single and return tickets on participating train company services within the Network Area, plus:
  • Up to three other adults aged 16 or over, each receiving a 34% discount
  • Up to four children aged between 5 and 15 pay just £1
  • Up to two children aged under 5 travel free of charge with each fare paying passenger.
  The maximum group size is four adults, four flat fare-paying children and two children under 5 (who travel at no charge). The Gold Card holder must travel with the group at all times.
  
• discounts on a London Zones 1-6 Off-Peak Day Travelcard

Gold Card holders do not need to purchase a ticket for themselves if the journey to be undertaken is covered by their season ticket."

Could you copy & paster the info about the card for £1 please?

19. What are the Gold Card Benefits?

As a Gold Card holder you are entitled to additional benefits and discounts. Your friends and family can travel with you and save one-third off the price of most standard fares within most of the Home Counties at weekends, on public holidays and after 10 am on weekdays. You can take up to 3 adults, and up to 4 children may accompany you for just £1 each. Off-peak upgrades to First Class will cost only £3 per journey. If your partner would like to travel and take advantage of your discounts, you can purchase a Network Rail Card for £1 (recommended retail value £20) by presenting your Gold Card at the ticket office.
