Taking part in the LivingSocial fun couldn't be easier: deals are delivered to members through the LivingSocial website, a daily email blast and through apps for iPhone and Android devices. Additionally, LivingSocial's unique referral model gives users a chance to get their deal for free. Once a deal is purchased, the buyer can share the deal using a unique link generated at checkout. If three friends purchase the deal through the link, the original buyer's deal is free.
