You benefit from Co-op Connections!Union Power Cooperative, a Touchstone Energy® cooperative, is proud to be an integral part of the communities we serve. That’s why we’re introducing the Co-op Connections Card, a new program that helps you receive discounts on products and services from participating local and national businesses.

This same program that offers discounts at local merchants, has saved co-op members thousands on prescriptions and now offers you significant savings on dental, vision, hearing, lab & imaging services and chiropractic work.

Free to all membersEach member of our co-op receives the Co-op Connections Card free. There’s no sign-up. No annual fees. You get your Co-op Connections Card simply because you’re a member of Union Power Cooperative.

You can easily recognize where the Co-op Connec-tions Card is accepted by decals in their local retailers’ windows. Also, co-ops can link to a national website with a roster of participating businesses. In addition to local businesses, Touchstone Energy secures discounts from a variety of national businesses and chains, such as rental car companies and hotels.
