I’ve been using a couple of old-school loyalty apps like the ones from Starbucks and my local sushi spot, but they always feel kind of clunky or limited. Like, I get a free drink after spending $50 — big whoop. 😅 A friend recently mentioned Liven to me and said it’s way more dynamic. Anyone here actually tried it? I’m curious how it stacks up compared to the standard point cards or app punch systems.

Yep, I’ve used both, and honestly, Liven feels like a completely different beast. With traditional loyalty programs, you're usually locked into earning rewards with just one business — and you have to remember to scan a code or punch a virtual card every time (which I often forget). But with Liven, you're basically earning something called LVN points every time you pay through the app, and those can be used across hundreds of different restaurants, not just the one where you earned them. For me, that flexibility is a game-changer.
Also, it’s not just about rewards. The app encourages giving — you can even donate part of your LVN to charities directly through the platform, which is a nice touch. Plus, the user interface is smoother and more social — I can send meals to friends, split bills, or discover trending spots nearby. If you wanna check it out, there’s more info here: the liven app
That said, I still use some traditional programs when they offer specific deals (like a 2-for-1 pizza night or whatever). But I’d say Liven’s whole approach is more forward-thinking and less transactional. You feel like you’re part of a community, not just chasing a stamp.
