Tue, 17 Jun 2025 Co-op offers members discount on shopping after cyber attack

The retailer says the offer is to thank members but a retail analyst says the bar is high to redeem it.

* The retailer will offer £10 off a minimum shop of £40 for existing members, starting from Wednesday and running for one week
* The offer is not expected to be popular as most customers do not spend over £40 per shop
* Analysts say the offer suggests that Co-op's frequent shoppers may have started shopping elsewhere after the cyber attack
* Co-op says it has "almost" recovered from the cyber attack, but still experiencing some behind-the-scenes disruption
* The retailer is offering the discount as a "gesture of appreciation" to its 6.5 million members
* Analysts estimate that the cyber-attack will have cost Co-op "millions of pounds" in lost sales
