Members who shop between 18 and 25 June and spend over £40 will receive £10 off their shopping – an offer that can also be used by new members. Each member can only use the offer once, and Co-op membership costs £1.
Data hacked
During the May attack, hackers stole members’ past and present data. When announcing the offer, Co-op added that all its 2,300 stores had returned to usual trading, with all marketing activity switched back on and a new national summer campaign launched
“Stores now returning to pre-incident status and set to sell over half a million barbecue meat products, alongside 1.1 million bottles of chilled wines, 2.3 million bottles of beers and over 128 tonnes of ice cubes this week,” a spokesperson said.
Earlier this month, Co-op chief executive Shirine Khoury-Haq said the business was nearing “full and complete recovery” from the attack.
The Co-op also confirmed that no passwords or financial information of members had been taken, although hackers had gained access to names and contact details.

The criminals who carried out the attack, who call themselves Dragonforce, said they had stolen customer and employee data.
The hack also affected store product availability, with shelves empty, a plight similar to that of M&S, which is also still recovering after a cyber attack that is estimated to have cost £300m.
