Coop stopping accetance of Totum Card

LokiGinge

My local Coop has said that Totum Card is no longer accepted by the Coop.

This is a potential massive financial shock.

Can anyone confirm?

Not according to their website.

They are listed - right at the very bottom of the list.

As this is a money saving site I thought it would be worth mentioning that even with the 10% Totum discount you could save money buying elsewhere. I love my local co-op as it's convenient... but it's not cheap compared to other shops.

It may depend on the Coop.  My locals are no longer a  part of the same network as the northern ones so I lost all my Coop points/discounts.

As for it being more expensive in general....well yes I do agree but then again it depends on whether you have to drive to a cheaper store, take a bus, taxi etc.

Apologies, I forgot to mention I spoke to Coop customer services and they confirmed it is being stopped. I put it on here in the hope Martin would speak to the Coop and ask them to reconsider, as so many students could be affected.

The problem is that the Co-op isn't a single entity. Regions have their own organisation as Brie alludes to.

It's true, I just had an email confirming it. They no longer accept Totum cards so the 10% student discount is no more!

Is there anyway Martin could discuss this with the co-op, given the number of students potentially affected.

You would have to ask him directly, posting on this forum is unlikely to be seen by him.
