The world is full of discount clubs and discount websites, especially because the economy took a downturn an internet-based the likes of Groupon emerged.

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

Who and what is Lyoness?

Based on the official Lyoness website FAQ section:

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

Since sounds similar to lawyer speak, so now it really is in clear language, from me:

Lyoness is an global shopping community, offering cash back for your 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 2 ways. To begin with with cash return, and secondly by rewarding them after they recommend Lyoness to other people.

The attraction for telling others is that you simply get a percentage of all of the shopping they ever do through Lyoness, to see as possible buy anything from Heinz Baked Beans and coke, to petrol (gas in case you are reading in the united states), book holidays, or even visit a restaurant, that can add up.

How do you shop with Lyoness:

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

What are the advantages of Lyoness to retailers and merchants?

1) It brings more customers, those already from the Lyoness shopping community
2) It brings customer loyalty by offering Lyoness memberships
3) It may develop a second income

In addition to the shoppers and the retailers there is a third group that advantages from Lyoness as "every purchase helps the kid and Family Foundation" so when of autumn 2012 Lyoness has launched the Greenfinity Foundation to support education and implementation of climate protection projects worldwide

So far there has been 24 Child and Family Foundation projects worldwide, one of many current ones is in Africa with Nelson Mandela.

You now might have noticed my bit of name dropping there with Nelson Mandela.

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

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

Now, at all like me, you may never had heard about TUV Rheinland before.

The TUV Rheinland Group can be a leading provider of technical services worldwide. What this means, amongst other things, is because they look at the quality, and aprove parts for companies like Porsche, Mercedes, NASA, Dell, other great tales. There remti is always to assure quality and safety.

They also examine accounting processes and purchases process - that way made available from Lyoness.

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

TUV Rheinland mainly cope with components and parts for businesses like Dell, Porsche, Mercedes and NASA, but they also examine systems like Lyoness to.

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

[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGiKOG3gKjQ|watch here]] - There is ONE BIG WARNING I would give you about Lyoness though, which is do not sign up with them via the website. This is because when you have any questions the support team always let you know to speak to your sponsor. If you don't have a sponsor, then you may find yourself in trouble. How come Lyoness not have access to an effective help-desk? Basically it really is to maintain running costs as low as possible, to allow them to pay out to the members whenever possible. So Lyoness relies upon its members fully educating newbies concerning how to use the system, specifically in countries where it is only developing including the UK and USA.
