What cashback benefits does Liv credit card offer?

To give you the best cashback rates in the market we have revised and renewed our rewards program on 29 August 2024 . Our new rewards program will help you earn cashback on ALL your purchases. The cashback amount you earn will be determined by your card type and your monthly spends. The table below breakdowns the revised cashback rates.

To bring you an enhanced experience at every level, our Liv Platinum Card is now rebranded to Liv Cashback Card and the Liv World Card to Liv Cashback+ Card.

Monthly Spends on Cashback+ Card Cashback rate
AED 15,000+ 4.0%
AED 7,000 - 14,999 2.0%
AED 0 - 6,999 1.0%
Maximum cap per month AED 1,500

Once you upgrade to a new monthly spend tier, all your transactions for that month will earn the new cashback rate. For example, spending AED 16,000 in a month means that you earn 4% on your Cashback+ Card (and 2% on Cashback Card) for all your previous spends of that month!
