Co-op and Uber Eats’ online grocery partnership is set to give rewards to the convenience retailer’s customers.
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 membership number into the Uber Eats app at checkout.
As a co-operative, Co-op is owned by its members who, when purchasing selected Co-op groceries, earn rewards for themselves (2p in every pound spent on own brand products) and for communities, with the retailer giving the same amount to help support local causes and community projects across the UK.

Chris Conway, Co-op’s eCommerce Director, says: “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, says: “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 and Starship Technologies have announced the expansion of autonomous online grocery delivery services across more neighbourhoods in Leeds in collaboration with Leeds City Council.
Following a pilot launched last November – which saw 20,000 residents within the Adel and Tinshill area of Leeds have access to the offering – a further 12,000 households in the Kippax and Swarcliffe areas of the city will now be able to access Co-op groceries via robots.
