How to claim it
Just use your colleague member card at the checkout when you shop and your discount will be applied. (Welsh stores – Sales of Alcohol will not attract any colleague discount and we must legally charge customers the minimum unit price). If you do not have a colleague member card then please contact the Benefits Team - your.benefits@midcounties.coop with your name and Employee number.
Where can you claim your discount?
Your local Midcounties Co-operative Food store is not the only Co-op where you can use your colleague member card. We know that there are a number of colleagues that do not live near a Midcounties Food store and therefore as part of a wider agreement with other selected Societies, you can also claim a standard discount of 10% when shopping with other co-operative societies who are part of FRTS: The Co-operative Group, Central England Co-operative, The Southern Co-operative and East of England Co-operative. Midcounties colleagues can also enjoy these discounts when shopping in the other societies listed.
The discount rate you will receive will match the rate that each specific Society gives to their colleagues. For example, if The Southern Co-operative are giving their colleagues, 10%, then if you shop in one of their stores you will also get a 10% discount.
To see if your local store is a Midcounties Co-operative store, use our store locator here.
