Lyoness cashback shopping card

[albatross710]

My local Thai takeaway encouraged me to signup for his loyalty program which is a cashback program offered through Lyoness.

So far I've enjoyed lots of Thai meals and now accumulated $15 of cash back which Lyoness are going to transfer to my bank account.

I notice on their website, also can buy $100 Coles group vouchers and get 2-3% cash back on purchase.

Anyone had any good of bad experiences with Lyoness?

Cash Rewards does 2% cashback on all of Menulog. Velocity 'Shop and Earn' also offers 2 points per dollar on Menulog as well as promo periods (a few times a year) of 4 points per dollar.

I believe they also do cashback on Woolworths/Masters etc gift cards.

starthere.com.au also does cashback on many sites, but not as good levels as cashrewards.com.au usually has.

I use both sites, and have found Cash Rewards to be far better to deal with than Starthere. Dan Murphys also has offers up to 7.5% cash back on wine (but Champagne is only 1-2%). It's tiered depending on what you're purchasing.

I had a look at Lyoness after a friend of mine said they had. This is what I found - https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/accc-takes-action-against-alleged-pyramid-scheme-operator

So, didn't look further into it.

That's an interesting read. I joined for free as a customer of the takeaway business. In my case, it's free money until the music stops and/or I can't eat anymore Thai food.

No, ours is at St Lucia. But I'm always keen to benchmark Pad Thai.

Another article in todays Age - Lyoness: scam or straight?

Reading through it, if it cost you nothing to join as a consumer, I can't see how it is a pyramid scheme.
