This new card operates exactly the same as the old Starcard, but allows the holder to also use it in other participating societies throughout the UK – in fact, wherever you see the membership sticker displayed in the front door or window.
The Society rolled the new cards out in areas, and members received their new card and full details through the post accordingly.
Societies currently signed up to participate in the national membership scheme are;

Chelmsford Star Co-operative
Mid-Counties Co-operative
Midlands Co-operative

Britannia customers who have just received the Co-operative Group’s Membership Card are encouraged not to discard other co-op membership cards, such as the new Co-operative membership card (replacing the Starcard) soon to be issued, for example, by mid-essex Co-operative Society, Chelmsford Star. Their card will clearly state the name of the Society on the front of the card and will be for use in Chelmsford Star's stores. The Co-operative Group’s card is not a 'chip and pin' card (unlike Chelmsford Star's) and therefore cannot hold personal information.
