Redeem for PayPay or Amazon gift cards — or turn it into ¥5,250 with the Welkatsu route.

Get ¥1,400 in points just for signing up.
Just sign up for TikTok Lite through an invite link. The sign-up-only offer needs no check-ins — the points you earn work with PayPay or Welkatsu. (Higher offers require conditions such as 14 consecutive daily check-ins.)

What is TikTok Lite?
TikTok Lite is the lightweight version of TikTok, officially operated by ByteDance. It uses less data and battery than the regular app. Its biggest feature is a points system.
You earn points by watching videos, daily check-ins, and completing tasks — redeemable for cash-equivalent rewards like PayPay, Amazon gift cards, and Rakuten points.
There’s a large user-acquisition campaign running: sign up via an invite link and points are credited instantly. Note there are two offer types — a sign-up-only instant offer (around ¥1,400 worth as of July 2026) and higher offers worth ¥3,500–¥5,000 that require conditions such as a 14-day check-in streak. Whatever the app shows at sign-up is what applies.
Eligibility
To receive the sign-up reward, you need to meet these conditions.
- First-time useYou’ve never installed TikTok Lite before
- Age requirement18 or older
- RegionResiding in Japan (iOS / Android both supported)
- Via the invite linkDownloading directly from the App Store doesn’t qualify
Read before you sign up (avoid mistakes)
The TikTok Lite invite campaign is known for frequent eligibility errors — even new users often get rejected. To reliably claim your reward, follow these four rules.
4 rules you must follow
- Turn off Wi-Fi and use mobile data
Most important. Signing up on Wi-Fi fails very often. Turn off Wi-Fi and switch to mobile data (4G/5G) before starting (downloading uses mobile data).
- Uninstall the regular TikTok
If TikTok is installed, log out → uninstall completely → restart your device, then sign up.
- Use a phone number you’ve never used
Avoid phone numbers, emails, or social logins used with TikTok / TikTok Lite before. Phone number + SMS verification has the highest success rate.
- Always install from the invite link
Searching and downloading directly from the App Store / Google Play means no reward. Open the invite link first, then go to the store from there to download and register.
Step-by-step sign-up guide
- 1Prepare
Turn off Wi-Fi / turn on mobile data, uninstall the regular TikTok (if installed), and have an unused phone number ready.
- 2Tap the invite link
Open the TikTok Lite invite page from the button below.
Start signing up here - 3Download and install the app
Follow the invite page to download and install from the app store.
After installing, don’t open it directly from the app store.
Tap the button to download
- 4Return to the invite page and open the app
After installing, go back to the invite page in your browser and tap again. On “Open in TikTok Lite?” choose “Open” so the invite is recorded correctly.
Tap “Open” from the invite page
- 5Create your account
Choose “Use phone or email” and register with your phone number. Enter the SMS code, then set your date of birth (18+) and nickname.
Phone number + SMS verification has the highest success rate; avoid social logins.Choose to register by phone number
- Claim your reward
After signing up, tap the Gift icon at the bottom to claim your reward. The amount is not fixed at 350,000 points — it varies by period and by user. As of July 2026 the main offer is 140,000 points (about ¥1,400) for signing up through an invite link, and it has ranged up to roughly ¥3,000 in value at other times. Always check the latest amount shown in the app.
Points redemption guide
Whatever amount you receive, your points can be redeemed in several ways.
- PayPayDirect, instant. Pick this if unsure
- Amazon gift cardIssued as a gift code
- V PointsConvert to WAON POINT for Welkatsu (below)
- Erabel PayExchangeable for around a dozen or so major e-money and point services (about 19). The 1,000+ item lineup belongs to a separate giftee product, giftee Box
The old 120-day rule no longer applies: points earned from 00:00 on October 29, 2025 expire if you go 30 days without checking in, counted from your last check-in. Keep checking in, redeem early, and confirm the current rule in the app. PayPay is the most convenient if you’re unsure.
The golden Welkatsu route
If you do “Welkatsu” (using points at 1.5× value at Welcia drugstores on the 20th of each month), you can turn TikTok Lite’s ¥3,500 into ¥5,250 of shopping. But the redemption route matters.
TikTok Lite → “WAON Points” (katakana). The directly redeemable “WAONポイント” is an e-money point and is not eligible for Welkatsu’s 1.5×.
Katakana “WAONポイント” ≠ uppercase “WAON POINT”. Only “WAON POINT” is eligible for the 1.5×.
Exact steps
- 1TikTok Lite → V Points
In TikTok Lite, go to Gift → Exchange and choose “V Points” to redeem directly.
- 2V Points → WAON POINT
In the V Point app, choose “Convert to WAON POINT.” It’s a 1:1 instant exchange.
- 3Go to Welcia on the 20th
WAON POINT can be used at 1.5× during Welkatsu — 3,500 points = ¥5,250 of shopping.
