What is a Mega! CO-OP Member?

A Mega! CO-OP Member is an individual customer (or household) who has applied for a Co-op membership as a Purchasing Member of the Consumers Cooperative Association of Eau Claire (CCA), a.k.a. Mega! CO-OP.

These are shoppers that enjoy friendly and clean convenience stores with a large variety of quality products to choose from, who believe in our purpose and values, and can be rewarded for being a Co-op Member with more ways to SAVE at the pump or in our stores!

​

Mega! CO-OP has over 20,000+ Co-op Members and is still growing. We take pride in rewarding our loyal shoppers with benefits and privileges only available to our Co-op Members.

​

Members also have the opportunity to become voting members by becoming a Stockholder, who may vote on important issues and elect a Board of Directors to forward those interests and values.

​

Who should become a Mega! CO-OP Member?

​

We welcome all shoppers, but our Co-op Members are the foundation of our Co-op. Co-op's succeed when members are loyal and regularly shop their Co-op. We invite our customers to join if you can meet the minimum spending requirement each fiscal year, you reside in and around the communities we serve, or you reside outside our services areas but frequent our stores throughout the year.

​

Upon enrollment as a Co-op Member, you will receive a Mega! CO-OP Membership ID/Rewards card.

​

*Due to the structure of our Co-op, businesses may not apply for a Co-op Membership. However, a business may be eligible for discounts on fuel through a Fleet Program. Stop by any of our locations to obtain more information about Fleet Savings!

What is the cost of a Mega! CO-OP Membership?

FREE! There is no cost to become a Purchasing Member. There is also an opportunity to become a Co-op Stockholder for $100, which includes voting rights when purchase requirements are met.

​

Are there any requirements of a Co-op Membership?

Whether a Co-op Purchasing Member or Stockholder, requirements include, but are not limited to, keeping your membership account information up to date, consenting to tax reporting of any member patronage distribution received, and agreeing to spend a minimum of $500 in qualifying goods or services per fiscal year from our Mega! CO-OP Holiday and Travel Stop convenience stores. That’s only $42 a month in gas and inside purchases each fiscal year.

​

So scan your membership card for ALL your purchases – big, small, or non-fuel – at any Mega! CO-OP store to record your purchases.  Your recorded purchases accumulate towards meeting the $500 membership spending requirement per fiscal year to keep your membership status. The fiscal year begins on the last Sunday of September of each year and ends on the last Saturday of September of the following year.

​

The Co-op may terminate a membership and any equity credits shall be forfeited for members who do not meet the required purchase amount for two consecutive fiscal years or more. Remember, you are signing up for a Co-op Membership and not just a rewards card. 

​

Please read the full Mega! CO-OP Membership Terms and Conditions before applying for a Mega! CO-OP Membership.

​

Mega! CO-OP Stockholder Opportunity

Whether you are currently a Co-op Purchasing Member or are signing up for the first time, you may choose to become a Stockholder by purchasing a $100 common share of stock. This is a non-dividend bearing stock that only entitles you to be a voting member when purchase requirements have been met, and can only be sold back at par value to the Co-op, at the Board’s discretion.

​

A Stockholder becomes a Voting Member in “good standing” when the annual spending limit is met. Each Voting Member in good standing shall be entitled to take part in the election process of the Board of Directors, vote on Cooperative matters such as Article/Bylaw changes, and is invited to attend the Annual Stockholder meeting, typically held in March, to better understand what is happening within the Co-op. If a Voting Member is not in good standing for two consecutive fiscal years, the Cooperative may elect to repurchase the Voting Member’s share of stock, and they will return to Purchasing Member status.

​

Other opportunities for Stockholders include serving as a Nominating Committee member or running for a Board of Director position.  As a Voting Member in good standing, you may be contacted to find out your interest in either of those positions.
