What is the Co-op Connections program?

It's a membership benefit program that provides Tri-County Electric Cooperative members with discounts at participating local and national businesses.

How does it work?

When you show the Co-op Connections® card, app or coupon at any participating business, you receive a discount determined by the business owner. It's that easy!

What types of discounts are available?

A wide variety of discounts are offered. To name a few: automotive, entertainment, florists, health/beauty, healthcare, home care, lodging, medical, photography, restaurants, pharmacy, retail services.

Where can I find a list of discounts?

Find discounts online through a basic search by keyword, zip code and category. View prescription prices. To find discounts on-the-go, download the Co-op Connections® app* for iPhone or Android.

*You will need to set up an account online before you can log in using to the app.

Where can I redeem the Co-op Connections discounts?

At any participating Co-op Connections® business. Nearly 400 cooperatives across 45 states participate, and the list grows daily. Benefits are national, so your card can also be used in other states while you're on vacation!

How does the pharmacy discount work?

More than 60,000 locally-owned pharmacies and national chains like Walmart, Rite Aid, CVS, Walgreens and Kroger participate in the program. Show the Co-op Connections card or app at checkout and save 10-60 percent on prescription medications (includes short-term and acute care medications such as antibiotics and pain killers). Note: Pharmacy discounts are not insurance, and are not intended as a substitute for insurance.

How are these pharmacy discounts different from traditional prescription insurance?

Co-op Connections is not insurance; it simply provides immediate discounts at participating pharmacies. There is no paperwork to fill out and no limit to the number of times you can use the discount. Upon presenting your card or app to the pharmacist, you will pay the lower of the contracted discount card price or the pharmacy’s regular retail price. Note that some drugs will be priced as loss leaders by a pharmacy and will be below the national, discounted price. Either way, you get the best deal available.

Does everyone in my family need a Co-op Connections account?

Your family may share one card or you may request multiple. If your family plans on using the program primarily through the mobile app or online account, it is encouraged that each family creates their own login.

Why is Tri-County Electric Cooperative offering this program to members?

The Co-op Connections program is included in Tri-County Electric Cooperative membership in Touchstone Energy®, a cooperative made up of hundreds of other electric co-ops just like us from across the nation. Because of our size, we are able to achieve great economies of scale.

Does Tri-County financially benefit from the program?

No. Tri-County members benefit from using the program, but Tri-County Electric Cooperative does not receive any money for promoting this program to its members.

Why is this called the Co-op Connections program?

Because co-ops throughout the nation are working together to bring value to co-op members and help participating local businesses.

Does the card expire?

The card doesn’t expire! As long as businesses opt to participate, your card will be effective. Businesses have the option to cancel their offer at any time. We make every effort to notify members of cancelations via the Co-op Connections® website.
