Ive used the Liven app for eating out and find it excellent value

The $100 credit can possibly be used with their regular promotions plus you get 25% of the bill added back to your account for a future use:

So doing the Maths:

  • Buy a $100 voucher (Single Use) for $50
  • Spend the $100 voucher to eat out with you family and get $25 added back to your account
  • Use the $25 for your next dining experience with the $20 off $40 offers they regularly have = another free meal potentially

Enjoy

For a limited time, grab $100 of Liven Cash for only $50. For every voucher purchased, $10 of proceeds will be donated to SecondBite. Guilt free gifting!
Spend $50, and we'll give you double that in Liven Cash! Valid for one time use.

    i was gonna buuy it but then i saw it was single use only. better if it was a $50 voucher.

        What you've said doesn't invalidate what oswade said… a $50 voucher is better.

        Maybe easy for you, but say you often eat alone often eat with just a partner/friend, spending $100 on a meal is not easy.

          @easternculture:

          Yea I never said that you're wrong. Just pointing out that you've responded to oswade as if what you've pointed out "solves" his problem or invalidates what he's said.

          In addition, fine dining if you have an occasion that calls for it, sure.. but on a day to day basis then you're not going to pick an expensive place. Liven has cheap places too.

          It's called Ozbargain.

          @easternculture:

          Just accept that a $100 voucher is not as versatile or as good as a $50 voucher.

          Besides, it's nothing against you, but you're defending it as if it's your own company and you have a personal agenda.

          What oswade says still stands, "better if it was a $50 voucher." and I don't see how you can dispute that.

          We do this on Ozbargain all the time anyway don't we? We help each other out by leaving comments like these (and ideally have these sort of details added to the description) so we are aware that things are not as good as they first seemed. It's helpful to have this sort of information!

        Flip. How cheap is everyone? Do they have no friends? $100 is a small amount to pay at a good restaurant with four people! Heck, even two people at a really nice one! Totally on ECs side with this. Why complain?

          It's pathetic to berate people for not spending as much money as you do in restaurants.

          It's beyond pathetic to do that on a site like Ozbargain…

          If I spent $100 in a restaurant, I wouldn't appreciate it any more than I would if I spent $20 and made something myself. It's therefore a waste of money to me. Is that ok with you?

  • YOTR on 18/12/2017 - 20:44

    There might be a bargain here. Not sure, OP is doing a terrible job selling it.

  • scbrother on 18/12/2017 - 21:05

  • gimme on 18/12/2017 - 21:07

    It's a good deal - $50 for $125 worth of food. All you need is 3-4 people to make it really worthwhile or just goto a 'high end' restaurant. Also keeping in mind this is the Dominos and HJ vouchers crowd so prone to negs.

  • footyboy on 18/12/2017 - 21:07

    Is there a list of the restaurants?

  • marquise on 18/12/2017 - 21:19

    It's been a while since I've been able to use Liven without going out of my way. It's so hard to coordinate where to eat with friends and our usual places don't intersect with Liven supported restaurants. Sometimes I've been lured by those discount codes and it's ended up to be such a crap restaurant that it negated the discount. I would have purchased this if it wasn't single use.

    • anastasiastarz on 18/12/2017 - 21:53

      I know that feeling. Luckily a lot of places use it in the city, but at the same time there have been quite a few issues. From them not accepting it, charging more when you use the app, machine doesn't work, etc.

    Anyone know when the voucher expires?

  • carpecrash on 18/12/2017 - 21:24

    Awesome deal, bought, thank you! Has anyone successfully received the confirmation email yet? I haven't received mine…

    • b0b0 on 19/12/2017 - 12:49

      Same I have not received any email after purchasing last night…

      Accidentally clicked ‘pay securely’ twice because the website took time to respond. Charged twice on credit card but so far no email confirmation..!

    Like any food or coffee based app, not for everyone but I agree completely with OP, I have found it excellent value (Melb CBD). This deal if planned and used correctly is very good and Liven has a real charity focus too, you always can choose to give your cashback to charity. I have used since they started with no issues. I even had a restaurant refuse to stack Liven and Ent book which is fair enough. I didn`t proceed with Liven but got a friendly call straight away asking what happened. I think I am just so happy after my Liven lunch today with Sumo salad. I may get this deal if I find a place I can use it first.

  • shuffle1 on 18/12/2017 - 21:46

    Good deal, but I never spend anywhere near $100 in one hit with Liven at the places I use it at.

    • Craicdealer on 18/12/2017 - 22:05

      Same here, I use for lunch mainly…but with a group etc it could be good..

  • forumninja on 18/12/2017 - 21:50

    Looks like a good deal for Melbourne but not for Sydney due to the limited number of establishments in the Liven app.

  • xii4obear on 18/12/2017 - 22:06

      they may need to process them manually

      • oldrocker on 18/12/2017 - 23:16

        The link says "it should take less than a minute to receive an email" which I assume is the one containing the voucher?

        • nightfever on 19/12/2017 - 00:53

          Same… I am still waiting to receive my voucher. I’ve received no email, no order number, just a confirmation screen that tells me:

          ‘thank you for your purchase. Please check your email inbox for your voucher and instructions. Feel free to use the voucher yourself or forward the email to a friend for the ultimate christmas present.‘

        • oldrocker on 19/12/2017 - 11:25

    Places I'd recommend… Yes I have personally eaten at all these places.

    Barolo (we have never paid full price - also don't order anything seafood)
    Europa (but that's a lot of cake/bakery stuff!)
    Kobe Jones!!
    Mama Marija
    Marmara!!
    Mason Dixon - weekday lunch only, picnic?
    Massi/Mister Bianco
    Sardi (brunchy)
    Sugo
    Three One Two One - burgers and freakshakes
    Ya Souv - Greek
    Yuzu!!

    Nope

    Hungry Nights Indian
    Kaaoli (doesn't accept liven)
    Kokido
    Phancy Cafe
    Sauced
    Swiss Club

    Top Picks

    Kobe Jones - Jap
    Marmara - Turkish
    Yuzu - Jap

    I wonder if it's valid for takeaway and how much of it I can freeze…
    Recommend spoiling yourself and going for something you would never pay full price for.
    eg. You could easily go over $100 for two people for Teppanyaki.

    • carpecrash on 18/12/2017 - 22:35
      +2

      I can recommend:

      Yuzu and Truman Cafe (probably the best breakfast I have ever had in Melbourne)

      • AussieMark on 23/12/2017 - 11:37

        Thanks but there's no Truman cafe.

        There is TU cafe? Is that it

        • carpecrash on 24/12/2017 - 07:04

          Damn it looks like they have been removed from Liven :(

    • clownfish on 19/12/2017 - 07:39

      Thank you! I was going to ask for recommendations

  • a1234my on 18/12/2017 - 23:34

    never use this, would like to know when spend $150 can i pay with ($100 liven cash) and the rest with cash?

    • Craicdealer on 18/12/2017 - 23:41

      Not sure about the $100 voucher but you generally pay through the app so any extra I would say you pay via your registered credit card on the app..so no hard cash:)

    • gimme on 18/12/2017 - 23:53

      Large majority of payments are through the app which is better. There are a few exceptions where certain restaurants don't have the tablet/app and you'll have to pay them directly via CC/Cash/hugs/lapdance.

      • a1234my on 19/12/2017 - 00:21

        thanks

  • The Wololo Wombat on 19/12/2017 - 00:23

    Liven is not in QLD right?

    • yupyup on 19/12/2017 - 07:12

      Just looked into it and youre right, only syd and melb. Brisbane may be soon though, liven has expansion funding as of earlier this year

  • Tycn on 19/12/2017 - 00:26

    Does this come to you as credit in the app, or a voucher code (which renders it unusable with other codes)?

    • scrypton on 19/12/2017 - 08:21
      +1

      I’ve got a feeling this would be a voucher code, as it can only be used once and they can easily set an expiry date to it and not affect the rest of your existing liven cash balance.

      I prefer credit, though. I agree with others, it’s hard to spend $100 at one go when you don’t have enough friends 😂

      • anastasiastarz on 19/12/2017 - 11:45

        You only need one friend if you're going jap! Just realized there's a lack of mexican places…

  • MadMaxBargainRoad on 19/12/2017 - 09:31

    Actually the 15%/25% pay with app special is not a discount but rather a liven credit bonus - at least for most Melbourne restaurants. Not sure if you can use them in a separate bill though.

    • gimme on 19/12/2017 - 16:46

      yeah it's a discount off your NEXT purchase. When they first started it used to be an actual discount but they changed it.. possibly good for their cash flow. It's no big deal if you plan on using the app again which I have time and again.

  • luffyex2010 on 19/12/2017 - 09:47

    bought $500 credits for family special occasion meals counts christmas, x4 birthdays. Perfect

    Thanks!

  • Sweet3st on 19/12/2017 - 11:47

    Anyone received their voucher yet?

  • arcticmonkey on 19/12/2017 - 12:11

    Single use kills it for me. Not sure why they’re promoting single use when you’d think they want to increase repeat usage of the app at multiple venues.

  • Sweet3st on 19/12/2017 - 13:33

    Voucher received. Redeem in app within 3 months. Spend within 10 months. So they’ve given plenty of time to use.

  • a1234my on 19/12/2017 - 16:39

    Received 1, and got others get refund. got treated as wrongly charged.

  • xii4obear on 19/12/2017 - 17:48

  • gimme on 19/12/2017 - 21:24

    Check your cc statements!! I purchased a couple of vouchers and now I'm seeing an additional random $64 amount on my pending list. I'm going to wait a few days to see if it goes away but just a caution to others.

    • gimme on 21/12/2017 - 09:24

      Mine was sorted - Turns out they use the same payment processor as something else I had 'purchased' for $64 which wasn't Liven's fault.

  • kt on 21/12/2017 - 06:47

    I emailed them as bought two but only received one voucher. Was told that you can only buy one voucher per account and the other would be refunded. Would've been nice to have had that clearly stated before wasting my time…

    • carpecrash on 21/12/2017 - 07:55

      Yep agree. Do you think you can create a second account using a different email address? My only concern is that registering account requires you to use a phone number.

      • gimme on 21/12/2017 - 09:23

        yes it does… use another phone number (spouse, friend, $2 SIM etc)

  • a1234my on 21/12/2017 - 14:23

    Do anyone know, can you use more then 1 voucher at a spend?

    • gimme on 21/12/2017 - 16:25

      no

  • Tyken on 21/12/2017 - 23:17

    Has anyone used their app to pay for their bill in Sydney? I have been emailing around (Rabbitholebar and Olivio) all I get back is how many people would I like to book for. They totally disregarded the fact I asked about using the app as a form of payment.

    • Turd on 22/12/2017 - 10:54
      +1

      I used the app at two sticks etc…

      What you do is when you are about to pay and you are at the store, perss the pay now and it will give you a code, tell the operator you are paying via the liven app and your code is XX then they will process it.

  • a1234my on 25/12/2017 - 17:50

    anyone have issue verify phone.

  • 0lllllll0 on 28/12/2017 - 09:15

    Is the voucher used automatically on next purchase? Because I cant find a way to activate it or anything. Actually, when I go to promo codes it says active. So I assume next time I pay it'll use the code?

    • Turd on 29/12/2017 - 20:01

      Yes, next time you pay it will use the voucher, and if your total is over $100 it will be taken from your funding source
