Co-op Connections Cardholder FAQs

-A A +A
What is the Co-op Connections® Card?

It is a membership discount card that provides Beltrami Electric Cooperative members with discounts at participating local and national businesses. The card is simply shown-not swiped - at the register. It does not contain any personal ID information other than to identify Beltrami Electric Cooperative.

How does it work?

When you show the Co-op Connections Card at any participating business, you receive a discount determined by the business owner. It's that easy!

What types of discounts are available?

A wide variety of discounts are offered. To name a few: automotive, entertainment, florists, healthcare, home care, lodging, medical, photography, restaurants, pharmacy, retail services.

Where can I use this card?

Anywhere Co-op Connections® Cards are taken. You'll see a Co-op Connections sticker in the window or on the cash register of our participating businesses. Nearly 400 cooperatives across 45 states participate, and the list grows daily. Benefits are national, so your card can also be used in other states while you're on vacation!

How does the pharmacy discount work?

More than 60,000 locally-owned pharmacies and national chains like Wal-Mart®, Rite-Aid®, CVS®, Walgreen’s® and Kroger® participate in the program. Show this card at checkout and save 10-60 percent on prescription medications (includes short-term and acute care medications such as antibiotics and pain killers).

Note: Pharmacy discounts are not insurance, and are not intended as a substitute for insurance.

Does everyone in my family need an individual card?

No. One card may be used by the entire family. Members may also use the app on their mobile phone.

Why is Beltrami Electric Cooperative offering this program to members?

The Co-op Connections program is included in Beltrami Electric's membership in Touchstone Energy®, a cooperative made up of hundreds of other electric co-ops just like us from across the nation. Because of our collective size, we are able to achieve great economies of scale.

When does the card expire?

The card doesn’t expire. As long as businesses opt to participate, your card will be effective. Businesses have the option to cancel their offer at any time. We make every effort to notify members of cancellations by updating our online list.

I've lost my card. How can I get a replacement?

You may Contact Us and we can send you a replacement card in the mail.

Stop into our office at 4111 Technology Dr NW, Bemidji, M-F, between 8 a.m. -;4:30 p.m.

Download the free Co-op Connections app for Android or iPhone.

What is that account number on the back?

The member number listed on the card simply identifies you as a member of the Beltrami Electric Cooperative Connections® Card Pharmacy Discount Program. It is NOT your electric account number.

What is the group and member number for the Healthy Savings Program?

Group #: 2203MN07

Member#: 142407524

I frequently shop at local businesses that are not on the list. Can I get them to participate?

Mention the program to your local business and tell them to contact Angela Lyseng at Beltrami Electric Cooperative at (218) 444-2540 if they are interested.
