When we started participating in the Co-op Connections program in 2012, we knew it would be a great value for our members. There are currently more than 100 local business that offer discounts, and thousands more nation-wide. By using the card, you can save on everything from hotel stays and car rentals to automotive care and apparel.
Co-op Connections also includes a healthy savings program, with discounts for dental and vision visits. Prescription discounts are another huge value. To date, Co-op Connections cardholders have saved more than $91 million in RX savings.
In 2016 the program is set to grow significantly, thanks to the addition of the Co-op Connections Rewards program.
What is Co-op Connections Rewards?
Co-op Connections Rewards is a member-only shopping site that offers discounts of up to 70% on brand-name products. Categories include: personal accessories, watches, housewares, jewelry, home furnishings, electronics, health and beauty, garden and patio, recreation and leisure, sports and fitness, tools and hardware, appliances and a fan shop with sports memorabilia.
The deals available on the website change often. Most participating brands will offer new deals every 60 to 90 days.
If you’re skeptical of the savings, you’re welcome to put it to the test. On the website, you can find the UPC code listed under each item. Before you decide to make a purchase, you can search for the item elsewhere online, using the UPC code, to be sure you’re getting the best price.
Big savings can also be found for travel, at the program’s travel site, Snazzy Traveler.
