Referral basics
Referral rewards: cash, points and coupons are different
Read an invitation without confusing a shopping discount with income.
Identify what the reward actually is
A promotion may offer cash, points, a coupon or shopping credit. These are different outcomes. A coupon can reduce a qualifying purchase but may require you to spend money. Points may have limited redemption options. Do not treat the headline amount as cash until the provider’s terms explicitly support that interpretation.
Read every qualifying step
Before registering, review eligibility, account history requirements, region, age restrictions and the campaign period. Some invitations involve several steps, such as registration followed by a qualifying activity. Find out which steps apply to the person joining and which apply to the referrer. Do not assume that opening a shared link completes the requirements.
Calculate the real value
Write down any required spending, delivery charges, time commitment and expiry. If the benefit is only useful on a purchase you do not need, its personal value may be small. Compare what you would spend without the promotion with what you would actually spend after following it. Avoid buying something solely because the displayed benefit looks large.
Keep evidence and check the official result
Save the campaign terms visible when you participate and record the completion steps. A screenshot from another person is not proof that your account qualifies. Use the provider’s own campaign history or support route to investigate a missing reward. Never send passwords or one-time codes to someone promising to release a bonus.
Understand our links
Our referral page contains links and a Mercari invitation code supplied by the site owner. The publisher may receive a reward when qualifying actions are completed. We do not independently guarantee current reward amounts or availability. Review the provider’s live terms before participating; this guide is a checklist, not a confirmation of eligibility.
