2. What Is Lyoness?

3. Now the world is full of discount clubs and discount
websites, especially since the economy took a downturn
and online companies like Groupon emerged.
In Europe though, there has been a cash back
community growing since 2003 that has, up until
recently, been a 'dark horse' outside of mainland
Europe.

4. So who and what is Lyoness?
According to the official
Lyoness website FAQ
section:
"Lyoness is an international
sector spanning shopping
community as well as a
Loyalty Program for
international retailers."
Now that sounds a bit like
lawyer speak, so here it is in
plain English, from me:
Lyoness is an global shopping
community, offering cash
back for the shoppers, and a
unique loyalty program for
retailers.

5. Even simpler:
Lyoness is a shopping community that benefits everybody
involved, both shoppers and retailers
Lyoness rewards its shoppers in two ways. First of all with
cash back, and secondly by rewarding them when they
recommend Lyoness to others.
The attraction for telling others is that you get a percentage
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 are reading in the USA), book
holidays, or even go to a restaurant, that can add up.

6. How do you shop with Lyoness:
• Lyoness Cashback Card
• Mobile Gift Cards (Mobile Cashback)
• Original Gift Cards
• Online Shopping

7. What are the benefits of Lyoness to retailers and
merchants?
1) It brings more customers, those already from the
Lyoness shopping community
2) It brings customer loyalty by handing out Lyoness
memberships
3) It can build a second income

8. Apart from the shoppers and the retailers there is a third
group that benefits from Lyoness as "every purchase helps
the Child & Family Foundation" and as of autumn 2012
Lyoness has launched the Greenfinity Foundation to
support education and implementation of climate
protection projects worldwide
So far there have been 24 Child & Family Foundation
projects worldwide, one of the current ones is in South
Africa with Nelson Mandela.

9. There is ONE BIG WARNING I would give you about
Lyoness though, and that is do not sign up with them via
their website. The reason being that if you have any
questions the support team always tell you to talk to your
sponsor. If you don't have a sponsor, then you may get stuck.
Why do Lyoness not have a proper help desk? Basically it is
to keep running costs as low as possible, so they can pay out
to its members as much as possible. So Lyoness relies on its
members fully educating new members as to how to use the
system, especially in countries where it is just developing
such as the UK and USA.
