Co-op Connections Card

The Co-op Connection card saves you money and costs you nothing. There is no membership fee or annual fee; it is an added benefit of being a Wasco Electric Cooperative member.

All you have to do in order to take advantage of this great member benefit is present your card.

The Co-op connection card can be used at participating national and local businesses to receive various discounts. Some of the discounts available are hotels, car rentals, pet medication, flowers, and many more. Local business discounts are also available and added periodically.

If you would like more information about becoming a participating business, please call Traci Brock at the WEC office at (541) 296-2740 or send an email.

The Co-op connections card is also a member discount card that can be used for prescriptions savings. The pharmacy discounts can save you 10% to 60% in prescriptions at pharmacies such as Walgreens, Rite-Aid, Fred Meyer, Hometown Drug in Madras and many more.

There is also a mail order program available for the maintenance (long-term) medications purchased in 90 day supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are these pharmacy discounts different from traditional prescription insurance?

This plan is not insurance; it is a pharmacy discount offer. The card provides immediate discounts at the pharmacy. Upon presenting your card to the pharmacist, you will pay the lower of a discounted price of the pharmacy’s regular retail price. There is no paperwork to fill out and no limit to the number of times you can use the card.

These discounts are available only at participating retail pharmacies. You can locate participating providers online, or call (800) 800-7616. You can also search prices by drug and zip code to get the best deals by going to the New Benefits website.

Will I always receive the lowest price?

Yes. You will receive the best price available to you through this program at the pharmacy. On occasion, pharmacies will price a particular medication lower than the discount rate provided by the card. If that occurs, you will receive the lower price.

What is the mail order program?

To ensure members always save money on their prescriptions drugs, a unique mail order program was created to complement the network pharmacy benefit. Since most maintenance (long-term) medications are purchased in 90 day supplies, members maximize savings and have the convenience of home delivery (at no additional charge) by ordering through the mail order option.
