I have to admit, I do most of my shopping at Migros so I have yet to accumulate the big points with Coop, but it works the same-the more francs you shell out the more points you earn and the more unlikely you will be of retiring a millionaire - but you will be more likely to have nice sheets and pans and towels, as Coop also has stickers that you can collect to redeem for reduced price house supplies.
You can apply for a Coop card at the service desk at any Coop supermarket or superstore. Just make noises like this, 'Cooooppp Karrteeee' and they should get it eventually that you want a card - or that you have flown the coop, but 'es ist egal.'
Actually, Susan has a great write-up about Coop points on the Write-On blog sponsored by the Swissinfo.ch news site. Good luck!

Right, for each Franc spent you get one Rappen in credit. For me, the most useful thing is that at the Coop City shops (i.e. non-food stores) you can pay for your purchases with points.
The sticker thing I find not so useful. The items on offer for these stickers are, IMHO, of low quality. Kassensturz even did a show on the kitchen appliances that they had last year. In short: not great deals.
