Delaware Electric Co-op’s Connection Card Program hits a milestone
Members have saved over $500,000 on prescription
drugs since the program began

GREENWOOD-- Delaware Electric Co-op members using their Co-op Connections card have realized huge savings at pharmacies and participating local and national businesses.

During the month of March, savings on prescription drugs for Delaware Electric Co-op members surpassed $500,000 since the Connections Card program began in October, 2007.

The Co-op Connections card is a three prong savings program for electric cooperatives across the country. There is the prescription drug saving program, local business discount program and the national business discount program.

Local and national pharmacies, through a discount prescription program, offer 10 to 60 percent savings on many prescription drugs. Currently, over 48,000 independent and national pharmacy chains are participating in the program. Also, more than 160 local businesses across the Delaware Electric Co-op service area are participating by offering discounts unique to their business.

“This is another way your Electric Cooperative is working for you, our member,” said Bill Andrew, Delaware Electric Co-op President & CEO. “But remember, the only way we can do better and to save more is for you to make sure you are using your Cooperative Connections Card whenever and wherever you can,” he continued.

Delaware Electric Co-op and electric cooperatives across the country have provided these cards for their members to receive discounts from any of the participating businesses or pharmacies across the nation.
