The online grocery delivery partnership between Co-op and Uber Eats is set to offer rewards for the convenience retailer’s Members and their communities.
The move is a first for Uber Eats in the UK and will be available from over 1,000 Co-op stores this month.
Shoppers, who are Members of Co-op, will be able to both earn rewards and also make a difference in their community by adding their Co-op membership number into the Uber Eats app at checkout.
When purchasing selected Co-op groceries, its members earn rewards for themselves (2p in every pound spent on own-brand products) and for communities, with the convenience retailer giving the same amount (2p in every pound) to help support local causes and community projects across the UK.
Co-op Members can choose or change the cause they support locally, through Co-op’s Membership App.
Chris Conway, Co-op’s eCommerce Director, said: “We are committed to developing fast and flexible options online to serve shoppers quickly, easily and conveniently. Our ambition to grow our membership base by one million over the next five years is supported by our compelling member-benefits programme. Our members lie at the very heart of the Co-op, and by building on our successful partnership with Uber Eats we are now able to create additional value for our Members and for local communities.”
Alex Troughton, Head of Commerce at Uber Eats UK, added: “It’s great to be able to build on our successful partnership with Co-op, and join forces to allow its Members to earn rewards, and support local community causes and organisations when they use Uber Eats. This is all about using our unique technology to deliver exactly what people want, when they want it and enable them to help out community causes that matter to them.”
Co-op’s online service with Uber Eats is available from over 1,000 stores following its launch last year, offering delivery in as little as 30 minutes.
