RETURN OF SURPLUS

Once a year, your co-op may decide to share part of its profits with its members as a return of surplus, depending on the performance of the previous year. The percentage is determined by the Council of Representatives and is based on the Bonus-eligible purchases made by the member.

The return of surplus is a cashback reward similar to Bonus, but it’s credited to the member’s account once a year. It’s calculated as a percentage of the Bonus-eligible purchases made by the member and their household at the co-op’s own locations in the previous year.

TIP! The more Bonus-eligible purchases you make at your co-op, the higher your potential return of surplus.

To qualify for the return of surplus, a member must have an active membership with the co-op at the end of the previous year.

For more details on the return of surplus for each co-op, please visit their website.
