The Power of Connections

Co-op Connections Offers Deals and Discounts In 2008, Cuivre River Electric introduced Co-op Connections, a member discount card program that offers savings from dozens of local businesses and national discount offers such as online shopping and hotel/rental car savings. Once a member signs up for a free account, they have access to over three-hundred thousand nationwide deals. Members can choose to use their card or the Co-op Connections app at participating businesses and online. The Co-op Connections program is available to CREC through its membership in Touchstone Energy ® Cooperatives, a national alliance of electric cooperatives. More than fifty businesses in the cooperative’s service area are Co-op Connections partners and offer discounts. Cooperative members can also receive discounts from nearly ten thousand small businesses enrolled with cooperatives across the country, including dozens of businesses in Missouri.
