A new program has been added to the very popular Co-op Connections Discount Card, that will save you money each time you need to have a prescription filled.

New cards have been produced and were distributed for the first time at our September 2007, Member Appreciation Night.

These cards and key fobs carry the member codes you need to take advantage of a new pharmacy discount program.

The pharmacy program entitles you to get 10 percent to 60 percent savings on most prescriptions at over 48,000 independent pharmacies and national chains including CVS, Walgreens, Wal-Mart, Target and more.  It's a powerful tool to help you deal with soaring prescription prices.

You can present your Co-op Connections card at any participating pharmacy and automatically receive discounts up to 60 percent on most of the prescriptions you need.  If you have other savings cards or insurance plans, your pharmacist can check to see which program offers you the best savings.  You can check discount prescription prices at www.rxpricequotes.com.

Members originally received their free Co-op Connections cards two years ago, offering savings at many local and national businesses.  There are thousands of locations around the country with savings offers.  They range from local florists to national hotel chains, from heating contractors to unique gift shops.

If you would like a new card featuring the pharmacy program, drop us a line at m_defreeuw@nremc.com or call (260) 244-6111 or 625-3700.

If you haven't been carrying a card, put one in your billfold, purse, key chain or wherever you'll always have it when you spot a Co-op Connections savings opportunity!  Local businesses have stickers in their windows or at the cash register to remind you that they are participating in the program.

Everyday savings from your Co-op Connections card... further proof that being a member of an electric cooperative has real value!
