The world is stuffed with discount clubs and discount websites, especially because the economy took a downturn and internet based companies like Groupon emerged.

In Europe though, there has been a money back community growing since 2003 that has, until recently, been a 'dark horse' beyond mainland Europe.

Aren't and what is Lyoness?

In line with the official Lyoness website FAQ section:

[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGiKOG3gKjQ|home page]] - "Lyoness is surely an international sector spanning shopping community and a Loyalty Program for international retailers."

Given that sounds a bit like lawyer speak, so here it really is in clear language, from me:

Lyoness is definitely an global shopping community, offering money back for the shoppers, and a unique loyalty program for retailers.

Even simpler:

Lyoness can be a shopping community that benefits everybody involved, both shoppers and retailers

Lyoness rewards its shoppers by 50 percent ways. To begin with with cash return, and secondly by rewarding them when they recommend Lyoness to other people.

The attraction for telling others is that you get a number of all the shopping they ever do through Lyoness, and seeing as you can buy anything from Heinz Baked Beans and coke, to petrol (gas if you're reading in america), book holidays, or even go to a restaurant, that can mount up.

How do you shop with Lyoness:

 Lyoness Cashback Card
 Mobile Gift Cards (Mobile Cashback)
 Original Gift certificates

Which are the benefits of Lyoness to retailers and merchants?

1) It brings more customers, those already in the Lyoness shopping community
2) It brings customer loyalty by providing Lyoness memberships
3) It may build a second income

Apart from the shoppers as well as the retailers there exists a third group that benefits from Lyoness as "every purchase helps the kid and Family Foundation" so that as of autumn 2012 Lyoness has launched the Greenfinity Foundation to support education and implementation of climate protection projects worldwide

Up to now there has been 24 Child and Family Foundation projects worldwide, among the current ones is within Nigeria with Nelson Mandela.

You could have noticed my little bit of name dropping there with Nelson Mandela.

Hopefully that offers you an idea from the credibility of Lyoness, however you deserve more.

Lyoness sought ISO 9001 certification from TUV Rheinland, and was passed.

Now, like me, you will never had been aware of TUV Rheinland before.

The TUV Rheinland Group is really a leading provider of technical services worldwide. What this implies, among other things, is because they check the quality, and aprove parts for businesses like Porsche, Mercedes, NASA, Dell, the list goes on. There remti would be to assure quality and safety.

Additionally they take a look at accounting processes and purchases process - like this offered by Lyoness.

TUV began in 1872 and the Group currently employs 16.000 individuals 500 locations in 65 countries. It generates annual revenues of euro 1.417 billion.

TUV Rheinland mainly cope with components and parts for companies like Dell, Porsche, Mercedes and NASA, in addition they look at systems like Lyoness to.

If Nelson Mandela and TUV Rheinland isn't enough endorsement, think about Harrods - the earth's most prestigious store, or at best great britain's in any manner. Harrods has joined the Lyoness loyalty partner scheme, however only after it's brand protection unit of 27 lawyers and accountants OK'd it!

The reason being that for those who have questions the support team always let you know to speak to your sponsor. If you don't have a sponsor, then you can get stuck. How come Lyoness not need a proper service-desk? Basically it really is to help keep running costs as small as possible, for them to shell out to the members whenever possible. So Lyoness depends on its members fully educating sign ups regarding how to operate the system, especially in countries where it is only developing including the UK and USA.
