Do you happen to be a member of the Co-op in the UK? If so, you may want to take note of the latest warning from Martin Lewis' Money Saving Expert. As previously announced, the Co-op has made some changes to their loyalty scheme, which means that customers will no longer be able to earn cash rewards on Co-op branded items and services. This change has prompted Money Saving Expert to remind customers that any rewards they have accumulated must be used by the end of the year.
To be specific, the deadline to use your rewards is 11.59pm on Tuesday December 31, 2024. That gives you just eight days to make use of your balance, as it's a "use it or lose it" situation. In the past, Co-op members could earn 2p in rewards for every £1 spent on branded goods and services. However, this ended in January 2024 and was replaced by "Member Prices" which offer discounts on both branded and non-branded products, similar to Tesco Clubcard.
The deals offered through "Member Prices" change weekly, but some examples from the past year include 80 Yorkshire Tea bags for £2.75 or 10 Bird's Eye Fish Fingers for £3. If you're unsure whether you have any cash rewards left, there are a few easy ways to check. You can view your balance on the Co-op app under the Wallet section, log into your Co-op account online, or simply check your receipt as your balance will be shown there as well.
To use your rewards, simply scan your membership card at the till or select the option to do so at online checkout. However, if you're feeling generous this holiday season, you also have the option to donate your balance to Co-op's chosen community projects instead of spending it.
It's important to note that your balance will expire at the end of the year, so it's best to use it before it's too late. As mentioned, you can use your rewards through the app or online. This news comes after another major supermarket loyalty scheme made headlines this month. Tesco Clubcard holders were pleasantly surprised when it was announced that they could now use their rewards towards Easyjet holidays.
By using their Clubcard points, shoppers can double the value of their voucher and turn it into credit for Easyjet holidays. This credit will be added to your Easyjet holiday account, which you can set up using the same email address registered to your Clubcard. Keep in mind that the credit is valid for six months and must be used towards a package holiday with Easyjet, rather than standalone flights.
