    This is a potential massive financial shock.

    Can anyone confirm?

    Hi, I used mine last week and it didn’t go through but I assumed it was an error. Today I went back and the manager said it had discontinued. I regularly get mid-week stuff from here due to the convenience… and TOTUM discount! I thought they’d have made some kind of announcement

    The Totum discount has been ended by Co-op Group, that's the biggest co-op that owns about 80% of UK co-op shops. It ended on 31st October, the tills will not accept the card.

    Central Co-op run my local store and the Totum discount still works there and can be used with their scan & go app so automatically takes off the discount without needing to present your card if you save your card in the app.

    Just picking up on this old thread, from today, Tuesday 9th December 2025, the Totum discount card in no longer offering a 10% discount in Central Co-op stores - over two years later than Co-op Group stopped accepting it.

    They have however partnered with Student Beans to offer an alternative 10% student discount proposition for those who qualify. Sadly, I don't. End of my 10% off the Co-op. It lasted well!

    Central Co-op itself will also cease to exist next month, it is merging with Midcounties Co-op to form a new, bigger, national Co-op brand, as yet unnamed.

    Oddly, my Totum discount was still working on Saturday but today I was refused. I guess I should be grateful I had an extra two months.
