Terrible now

This app use to be peak in before 2023 with so many good deals. Now there’s barely any places to eat/drink on the app and the deals no more good offers. Download EatClub insteadz

Listed merchant do not accept 2026

Liven’s bad reputation from 2025 got worse in 2026. Listed stores like Krispy cream, med max stop accepting.

And the customer service is also terrible. When raising issue, instead of acknowledging, they responded back; use linven when you can. Lol.

Not going to bother as app crashes, poor user interface and terrible customer service.

FAQ

What does Liven do?

Liven is a mobile application that rewards users for dining out at participating restaurants. You can earn loyalty rewards on your bill or purchase 'Brandollars', which are food credits offering bonus value for future use. The app allows for instant payments at the register.

How do I earn rewards with Liven?

You earn rewards by paying for your meals through the Liven app at partner venues. You can earn between 5-30% loyalty rewards back on your bill. Additionally, you can buy Brandollars in advance, which often come with bonus credits, effectively giving you more food value for your money.

Is Liven free to use?

The Liven app itself is free to download and use. Monetization comes from users purchasing Brandollars, which are in-app purchases that offer bonus value. There are no subscription fees or costs to join the loyalty program.

Where can I use Liven?

Liven is currently available at over 1,000 restaurants, cafes, and bars in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. The app features a wide variety of cuisines and dining options, from popular chains to local eateries.

What are Brandollars and how do they work?

Brandollars are food credits you can purchase for specific venues within the Liven app. When you buy Brandollars, you often receive a bonus percentage, meaning you get more value than the amount you paid. These credits have no expiry date and can be used for future dining.
