Britannia Loyalty Bonus

Has anyone had a Britannia Loyalty Bonus for 2009 credited to their account? I've not received one yet and in the past it's been credited by the middle of February.

    I think you will find that an equivalent amount has gone into your Co-op account.
    I don't think they give you those little metal tags as a divi anymore. ;)

    A letter I had from Britannia two weeks ago said the first payment to go in to your co-operative account will be an interim payment in September 2010, for the first 7 months of 2010.

    There is one more payment due from Britannia and it should be paid by the end of March.

    It went into accounts last weekend so it'll show in your passbook next time it's updated.

    Will you need a magnifying glass to notice them? The payont in the last couple of years has been derisory.

    THey should try paying a decent interest rate instead of trying to fool savers with all this smoke and mirrors loyalty bonus nonsense.

    Giving a higher interest rate means they're committed to paying out the money, as a bonus it gives them more flexibility to run the business

    And it also gives them so much more of our personal information :(.

    Sent my passbook in a couple of weeks ago for updating and it just had the interest added, (but no loyalty bonus as in previous years). I only keep enough in that account now just to keep it going and have become very disillusioned with them, especially since the Coop merger. Unless you're a regular Coop shopper, when the loyalty bonus switches to a Coop 'dividend', I don't see any great benefit in continuing to hold savings with them.
