You may have heard about TikTok’s reward program that allows users to earn coupons, money, and more by referring new users to the app. Here’s everything you need to know about the scheme.
TikTok’s popularity has skyrocketed in the past few years, becoming the most downloaded app in the first three months of 2022, and having a huge impact on the way other apps are operating.
The platform is constantly generating new trends, memes, challenges and more, and if you are a frequent user of the app, the chances are that at some point you’ve suggested to a friend that they make an account on the app as well.

The program appears to only be available in select regions, and only for limited periods of time, so it’s worth getting involved if you’re given the opportunity. Here’s how to use the scheme.
