What Is Lyoness?
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. 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. 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.
