Hapitas Referral Code: Up to 2,300pt, Payouts and Guarantee

What Hapitas is — operator and scale first

Hapitas (ハピタス) is a Japanese cashback site — a point site — run by OZvision Inc. It has been running for 19 years and has over 6.3 million members. When you are new to these sites, the real question is whether the operator will still be around in a year, so it is worth settling that first.

The mechanism is simple: advertisers pay Hapitas a commission, and Hapitas passes part of it back to you for going through their link. If that model is new to you, start with our introduction to Japanese point sites and how to spot the risky ones — the rest of this guide will land better.

1pt = ¥1 sounds trivial. It isn’t.

Some Japanese point sites use 10pt = ¥1, so every number in a listing needs converting before you know what it is worth. Hapitas uses 1pt = ¥1, so “22,000pt” is ¥22,000. When you are comparing offers across sites, that one less step matters more than you’d expect.

Up to 2,300pt via referral — the conditions, and the catch

Signing up through a referral adds a bonus on top of the normal offers: up to 2,300pt (¥2,300). That figure is the total of four separate conditions, not something you get for registering. Here is the breakdown.

The only real hurdle is “5,000pt valid by the end of next month”

①, ③ and ④ are procedural. ② is where people stall — but read it carefully: it asks for 5,000pt or more in total, so a single offer worth over 5,000pt finishes it. You do not need to grind purchases to get there.

As the examples below show, brokerage account openings and credit cards routinely pay five figures in points. See what you can actually earn.

Step by step, from sign-up to claiming the bonus

1. Register through a referral link or codeUsing the button below counts as a referral. A code cannot be applied after you register, so go through the link first.
2. Set your email address and passwordPoint sites send offer emails. If you’d rather they didn’t bury your inbox, set up a filter on day one — but do not block the sender outright.
3. Complete phone verificationVerification by SMS or automated call is required to prevent abuse. You cannot redeem points until it is done, so get it out of the way immediately after registering.
4. Use one offer within your registration monthCondition ② starts from “an offer used before the end of your registration month”. If you register late in the month, plan to apply for something the same day.
5. Get 5,000pt or more to “valid” by the end of the following monthPending points do not count. Choose offers whose crediting period is short — “the following month” or similar.
6. On iPhone or iPad, enable Hapitas Smart (300pt)Done in the app. Skip this step if you only use Android or a desktop.
7. Complete the stamp rally (500pt)A survey (10pt), a quiz answered correctly (10pt) and using an offer (280pt), with a further 200pt for collecting all three. The offer here can be the same one you use for condition ②, so there is nothing extra to apply for.
8. Redeem your points30 payout options: cash, gift cards, airline miles. The rates differ sharply, so read the payout section before you choose.

What you can actually earn — raw search results

Articles about point sites tend to drift into “you can earn ¥X a month”, while the actual rates move constantly. So here are screenshots of what I saw when I searched Hapitas myself. Treat them as a sense of the scale of offers available, not as fixed numbers.

Everyday shopping: Rakuten Ichiba pays 1%

Going through a point site earns you that 1% on top of the Rakuten Points you would get anyway. If you shop on Rakuten regularly, one extra click raises your effective return by a full percent.

The Rakuten Card shows 9,000pt here — but note that a card’s official welcome offer and its point-site offer are often mutually exclusive. Our Rakuten Card sign-up guide covers the referral route (11,000pt, or 31,000pt when applying with Rakuten Mobile), so compare both entry points before you apply and take the higher one.

One-off offers: brokerage accounts pay over 20,000pt

One offer at this scale clears condition ② outright. There is no need to accumulate shopping cashback just to unlock the 1,400pt.

Moppy or Hapitas: which one should you use?

These two get compared constantly. The honest answer is that the winner flips from offer to offer, so register with both and check each time. Searched side by side on the same day, it looks like this.

Within a single company — SBI Securities — the winner already flips three times. Any article that declares one site categorically “higher” is generalising from whichever offer it happened to look at.

The difference in character is real, though

For the Moppy side in the same depth — its conditions, its payout options — see our Moppy referral code guide. Read both, check which site pays more for the offers you personally use, and you will not leave money behind.

Getting your points out — payout options and rate traps

Everyone talks about earning. What actually decides your take-home is the exit. Hapitas has 30 payout options (one of which is a disaster-relief donation) and several of them are not one-for-one. Redeem without checking and you can lose more than a fifth of everything you earned.

Options that pay a bonus

Options at par — the standard cash-out

Options that lose you money — the trap

Redemptions complete within three business days of the day after you apply, with exceptions (JAL Mileage Bank takes around 25 business days). Minimums and fees can change without notice, so check the redemption page right before you submit.

The Purchase Guarantee — what makes Hapitas different

The most common frustration with point sites is cashback that never tracks despite going through the link. Browser settings, a coupon site clicked mid-flow, a jump into a retailer’s app — the cause is invisible from your side.

Hapitas answers this with the Purchase Guarantee (お買い物あんしん保証): if cashback fails to register properly, you can file a claim and be credited if it is accepted. Very few large Japanese point sites offer anything equivalent. In my view this — not the headline rate — is the reason to use Hapitas.

You can tell in advance — look for the icon

Coverage applies, as a rule, to offers whose condition is a product purchase (商品購入). Covered offers display an あんしん保証 icon on the offer detail page. Check for it before you buy and you know upfront whether a claim would be possible.

Where it applies, and where it doesn’t

How to earn efficiently

1. Re-enter through Hapitas immediately before you check out

“I went through Hapitas yesterday” does not count. Most offers have a time limit between the click-through and the purchase. Filling your cart beforehand is fine, but open the store through Hapitas again right before you confirm the order — that is the version that rarely fails.

2. Don’t visit anything else in between

If you click through Hapitas and then browse a coupon site and follow its link, the tracking is overwritten. Once you have gone through, finish the purchase in that same session.

3. Check your browser settings

Blocked cookies or an active ad blocker can prevent tracking entirely. Turn them off at least while you are using a point site.

4. Choose large offers backwards, from the crediting date

When you are chasing the sign-up bonus (5,000pt valid by the end of the following month), an offer that takes months to confirm will not make it. Read the crediting period first, then pick the offer — not the other way round.

5. Use one big offer as your entry point

Brokerage accounts, credit cards and mobile contracts pay large amounts per application and clear the condition in one go. We also cover large referral offers where applying directly beats going through a point site.

• Rakuten Mobile employee referral (14,000pt for MNP, 11,000pt for a new number) — better terms than the standard referral, and second lines and re-contracts qualify
• Marriott Bonvoy American Express Premium (111,000 points via referral) — the largest single offer once hotel value is counted
• American Express Gold Preferred (referral welcome offer) — card referrals and point-site offers are often mutually exclusive, so compare both

6. You can be the referrer too

Hapitas pays the referrer 300pt per person — 3,000pt for ten. If the site works for you, that is another route worth knowing about.

Stacking it with everyday shopping and the Rakuten ecosystem

Where Hapitas earns its place is in lifting the return on shopping you were doing anyway, without changing anything else. Rakuten Ichiba pays 1%; Yahoo! Shopping and Amazon have offers too. Going through the link earns on top of whatever each service gives you natively.

Click-through and sale timing are separate things — and they stack

Point-site cashback and the store’s own sale or points campaign apply together. So the strongest move is simply “buy through Hapitas, on a sale day”. We track the sales daily.

• Rakuten deals (updated daily) — Okaimono Marathon and Super SALE timing, and point multipliers
• Amazon deals — sales and points campaigns
• Yahoo! Shopping deals — the 5th/15th/25th, Kau Kau Sunday and similar

Decide your exit before you start earning

Knowing where the points are going stops you losing money at the redemption step. Three exits cover most cases.

Is Hapitas “dangerous”? Does cashback really fail to track?

Search for Hapitas and you will find “dangerous”, “dodgy” and “the points never arrive”. It helps to separate two different things: risk from the operator, and cashback not being approved.

Operator risk is low

Hapitas is run by OZvision Inc., has been operating for 19 years and has over 6.3 million members. When people say “dangerous”, what they almost always mean is not that the company will disappear, but that an advertiser did not approve their cashback.

“Cashback didn’t arrive” is really three different problems

Approval is decided by the advertiser, not by Hapitas unilaterally cancelling anything. Three things actually happen, and each has a different remedy.

Conversely, applying without reading the offer conditions produces rejections on any site. The larger the payout, the more detailed the conditions — so read the “excluded” section to the end. The concrete steps for avoiding this are in the next section.

Watch-outs — the 180-day expiry and avoiding rejection

Points expire after 180 days, on either of two clocks

Article 10 of the Hapitas terms of use states that points are forfeited if either of the following applies.

Why cashback gets rejected

As long as the click-through was recorded, you can file under the Purchase Guarantee. Without it, there is nothing to recover. Almost every failure traces back to forgetting the click-through, so make that step a habit.

Closing your account forfeits your points

Points left in a closed account are gone. Redeem before you withdraw.

The same offer pays differently on different sites

As the comparison showed, the winner flips even within a single company — and the rates move daily. Which means checking “who pays most” is something you have to do each time.

To make that less tedious, I built and run Pointnavi, a site that compares cashback rates across Japanese point sites. Search an offer by name and it lines up what each site is paying.

Who it suits, and who it doesn’t

Frequently asked questions

Can I apply a Hapitas referral code after I have already registered?

No. The referral is determined at the moment of registration, so you have to use the referral link or enter the code before completing sign-up. Entering it afterwards has no effect.

Do I get 2,300pt just for registering with Hapitas?

No. The 2,300pt is the total of four conditions. Completing registration gives 100pt; registering via a referral, then using an offer before the end of your registration month and having 5,000pt or more become valid by the end of the following month gives 1,400pt; enabling Hapitas Smart gives 300pt; completing the stamp rally gives 500pt. Hapitas Smart is iOS only, so the ceiling is 2,000pt if you do not use an iPhone or iPad.

What is the Hapitas sign-up bonus worth if I only have an Android phone?

Up to 2,000pt. The 300pt for Hapitas Smart is an iOS-only condition, so it is out of reach on Android or desktop.

Do Hapitas points expire?

Yes. Under Article 10 of the terms of use, points are forfeited 180 days after you last earned points, or 180 days after your last login. Pending points do not count towards that period. Logging in or earning even 1pt extends the deadline, so points effectively never expire if you visit occasionally.

When can I use the Hapitas Purchase Guarantee?

There are two forms: the tracking guarantee, for when the expected tracking window passes without a pending entry appearing in your statement, and the confirmation guarantee, for when the stated confirmation period passes while the entry is still pending. Coverage applies as a rule to offers whose condition is a product purchase, and covered offers show an あんしん保証 icon on the offer detail page. The amount is calculated on the pre-tax figure, with a flat 10% deducted from what you paid. Purchases not made through Hapitas, purchases more than one year old, claims without an order confirmation email or equivalent, and purchases made through the advertiser’s own app are excluded as a rule. Claims are filed through the contact form under ポイント獲得に関して.

Which pays more, Hapitas or Moppy?

It flips by offer. Compared on the same day on 12 August 2026, opening an SBI Securities account paid 24,000P on Moppy against 22,000pt on Hapitas, while iDeCo paid 6,000P against 7,000pt and FX paid 17,000P against 18,000pt in Hapitas’s favour. Since the winner changes even within SBI Securities, registering with both and comparing each time is the reliable approach.

Can I convert Hapitas points to ANA miles?

As of 12 August 2026, ANA Mileage Club does not appear in the Hapitas payout list. The only airline programme available directly is JAL Mileage Bank, at 2pt to 1 mile, with a 3,000pt minimum and completion in around 25 business days. For ANA miles directly, Moppy offers 1,750P to 500 miles. If miles are your main goal Moppy is the stronger choice, and it also runs bonus campaigns on JAL conversions.

Is there a fee to cash out from Hapitas?

Choosing 現金（無料で交換）costs 0pt and is one-for-one at 500pt to ¥500, but the minimum is set at 2,000pt. The direct bank transfer option can be used from 500pt but charges a 100pt fee.

Is converting Hapitas points to Rakuten Points a bad deal?

On rate, yes. It costs 130pt to receive 100 points, so roughly 23% is lost. Even if Rakuten Points are the goal, taking cash or an Amazon Gift Card at par or better leaves you with more.

I went through Hapitas but no points appeared. What should I do?

First check whether the entry is still pending and whether the crediting period stated on the offer page has actually passed. If there is no entry in your statement, file under the tracking guarantee; if there is an entry that will not confirm, file under the confirmation guarantee, both through the contact form under ポイント獲得に関して. A claim needs your order confirmation email or equivalent, and purchases more than one year old are excluded, so file early.

I have read that cashback often fails to arrive on Hapitas. Is that true?

It splits into three cases. If nothing appears in your statement, the click-through was not recorded — and if you did go through Hapitas, you can file under the tracking guarantee. If an entry stays pending, the advertiser has not confirmed it yet, and once the stated period passes you can file under the confirmation guarantee. If it is rejected outright, the offer conditions were not met, and that is not covered. Approval is decided by the advertiser, not cancelled unilaterally by Hapitas.

Is Hapitas safe to use?

It is operated by OZvision Inc., has been running for 19 years and has over 6.3 million members. The problems people actually hit are cashback rejected for unmet offer conditions and cashback that fails to track; both have remedies, and the second can be claimed through the Purchase Guarantee.

How long does a Hapitas redemption take?

As a rule, within three business days from the day after you apply, where business days are Monday to Friday excluding weekends and public holidays. There are exceptions: Bitcoin completes within 15 minutes and JAL Mileage Bank takes around 25 business days.

What happens to my points if I close my Hapitas account?

They are forfeited. Redeem any remaining balance before you withdraw.

Summary

Hapitas is not the site that always pays most — put side by side with Moppy, it wins some offers and loses others. It earns its place for three things that genuinely differ.

The one thing to avoid is converting to Rakuten Points at 130pt for 100. Get that step wrong and more than a fifth of everything you earned disappears.

And once more: check what other point sites pay before you apply. Differences of several thousand yen on the same offer are routine. Use Pointnavi, which I run, or read the Moppy guide — either way, that small habit is the most reliably profitable one there is.
