    Did you get the normal shopping vouchers book as well as your divi ones? I got my divi vouchers, thanks MR C but no Christmas booklet or £5 off a £30 spend etc vouchers as my aunt did a few weeks ago. I think I might ring them.

    Right, I phoned the Co-op (number on back of card) and was told that she thought it was a "random mailing" sent to just a few customers and that they are probably phasing out this type of offer now as the divi vouchers superceed it...shame she got two £5 off ovuchers plus a whole booklet of different special offer vouchers.

    I've been a member for years and have a very small savings account with them too which you now get rewarded for.

    Hello all

    Am here to help

    I work for the co-op and i havent had my bleeding vouchers/cheque yet

    if you guys have your new cards (white and orange) then use that one not the old blue one

    The new reward is with the white/orange one you have a choice whether to get vouchers sent to you or a cheque. (you can change this by ringing the number on the back of the card)

    It just depends when you joined - if you are relatively new then it may take a while (ive worked there 7 months now and am a member of the coop - not the card cooperative in general) and me and my fellow employees are the bottom of the list. so if you joined years ago you should get them fairly soon.

    remember too guys and girls - if you are still using a blue card (the old one)that they can only be used up until the 31st december so ring the numebr on the back of the card to get a new one sent out otherwise you will lose the points you have gathered.
    Time to find me again
