The agreement between the two companies marks a significant milestone for the UK, representing the first of its kind. Starting this month (July), Co-op members can now earn the same points through Uber Eats as they would when making purchases directly from the store’s own online shop.
Under the Co-op scheme, members are rewarded for buying selected Co-op groceries, while also contributing to local causes and community projects through monetary donations. This unique initiative not only aims to serve shoppers quickly, easily, and conveniently but is also part of Co-op’s larger plan to expand its membership base by one million over the next five years. By leveraging the successful partnership with Uber Eats, Co-op can provide even more value to its members and local communities.
According to Chris Conway, Co-op’s e-commerce director, the company is committed to offering fast and flexible online options. He states, “Our ambition to grow our membership base is supported by our compelling member benefits program.” Highlighting the importance of members to the Co-op, Conway adds that the partnership with Uber Eats enables them to create additional value for members and local communities.
Alex Troughton, head of commerce at Uber Eats UK, expresses excitement over expanding their successful partnership with Co-op. Through this collaboration, Co-op members can earn rewards and support local community causes and organizations while using Uber Eats. Troughton emphasizes the utilization of unique technology to deliver exactly what people want and when they want it while empowering them to contribute to the causes that matter to them.
In summary, Co-op and Uber Eats have united to offer a groundbreaking opportunity for Co-op members to earn rewards and support local community causes through their Uber Eats purchases. By prioritizing convenience and community, this partnership aligns with both companies’ core values and reinforces their commitment to serving customers and giving back to society.
