Now the world is stuffed with discount clubs and discount websites, especially considering that the economy took a downturn and online the likes of Groupon emerged.

In Europe though, there's been a money back community growing since 2003 which includes, up to recently, been a 'dark horse' outside of mainland Europe.

Who and what's Lyoness?

In line with the official Lyoness website FAQ section:

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

Given that sounds similar to lawyer speak, here it is in plain English, from me:

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

Even simpler:

Lyoness is really a shopping community that benefits everybody involved, both shoppers and retailers

Lyoness rewards its shoppers in two ways. First of all with cash return, and secondly by rewarding them when they recommend Lyoness to others.

The attraction for telling others is that you simply obtain a number of every one of the shopping they ever do through Lyoness, to see that you can buy anything from Heinz Baked Beans and coke, to petrol (gas if you're reading in the united states), book holidays, or perhaps search for a restaurant, that can add up.

Apart from the shoppers and also the retailers there is a third group that advantages from Lyoness as "every purchase helps the Child and Family Foundation" and as of autumn 2012 Lyoness has launched the Greenfinity Foundation to aid education and implementation of climate protection projects worldwide

You may have noticed my little name dropping there with Nelson Mandela.

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

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

Now, much like me, you might never had heard about TUV Rheinland before.

The TUV Rheinland Group is a leading provider of technical services worldwide. What this signifies, among other things, is they look into the quality, and aprove parts for companies like Porsche, Mercedes, NASA, Dell, the list goes on. There remti is to assure quality and safety.

They also take a look at accounting processes and sales process - that way offered by Lyoness.

TUV was Founded in 1872 as well as the Group currently employs 16.000 individuals 500 locations in 65 countries. It generates annual revenues of euro 1.417 billion.

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

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

[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGiKOG3gKjQ|lyoness scam]] - There is ONE BIG WARNING I would offer you about Lyoness though, and that's don't join them via their website. The reason being that when you have questions the support team always tell you to speak to your sponsor. Without a sponsor, then you may find yourself in trouble. Why do Lyoness not need a suitable service-desk? Basically it really is to keep running costs as small as possible, to allow them to pay out to the members as much as possible. So Lyoness relies upon its members fully educating newbies as to how to use the system, especially in countries where it's just developing like the UK and USA.
