iMember Encourages UK Consumers to 'Remember You're a Member'

SITTINGBOURNE, England, May 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

The UK may have avoided a triple dip recession but in these tough economic times so many of us are relying on cashback offers, online discounts and voucher codes to save money on everyday items. So why do so many membership offers and deals go unclaimed? It is simply because we don't know that they exist.

iMember (http://imember.co.uk/) is a revolutionary new website that makes it easier than ever for UK consumers to claim the many benefits to which they are legally entitled - and it's completely free of charge!

"Only after paying for tickets and attending an exhibition at the Royal Academy, I found out that as a Barclays Premier customer I could have got in free," said Richard Brown, Founder of iMember. "And as a member of so many other organisations, I realised that there was a whole world of benefits out there of which I had little or no knowledge at all."

Developed with the everyday consumer in mind, iMember changes the way people use the entitlements they have as members of clubs, societies, unions, and professional bodies, as well if they subscribe to motoring organisations, gyms, banks, newspapers and more. And if you were going to buy a product or service anyway - it makes sense to know how much money you could save.

iMember will help you get the most out of your subscriptions. It reminds you when you are entitled to a discount or a special offer because you have joined an organisation or subscribed to something great. Just tell iMember what you belong to and it'll tell you what benefits you should be enjoying - simple as that.

Using the service will become even easier this summer when the iMember app is launched for both iPhone and Android smartphones. Consumers can get the best deals whilst on the move and never again miss out on discounts that are rightfully theirs.

Membership deals offer money for nothing; you just have to remember you're a member. And that's where iMember comes in.
