Hapitas Complete Guide 2026 — Catching every yen of cashback on everyday shopping

Site guides Published:2026-05-29 11 min read

What Hapitas is — "Did you go through Hapitas for that?"

Hapitas is a point site run by OZvision Inc. With its catchy slogan "Did you go through Hapitas for that purchase?" and its strength in staple shopping offers — Rakuten Ichiba, Yahoo! Shopping, the Apple Store — it has carved out a clear "e-commerce-leaning, practical" niche, with over 5 million members.

If Moppy is the site for "earning big on high-value offers", Hapitas is the site for "reliably turning everyday shopping into points". The two have distinct flavours, which is why so many people use both.

💡

Bottom line first: Hapitas is 1 pt = 1 yen, minimum cash-out 300 yen, cash exchange free (on some routes). Its referral down-line bonus tops out at 40% — the highest in the business. As a "catch everything you'd otherwise miss" site for Rakuten Ichiba / Yahoo! Shopping / Apple / Booking.com, it's the ideal second account to pair with Moppy.

Hapitas's biggest differentiators are the "Hapitas lottery" and "Pollet linkage" — more on both below.

Sign-up & identity check

  1. Access via an invite link "Sign up directly and you miss the 1,000-pt welcome bonus" — same as Moppy. Go through pointnavi's invite link.
  2. Email → verification mail → set password Carrier email won't do; Gmail / Outlook recommended.
  3. Enter nickname, gender, date of birth, prefecture No real name or address needed.
  4. SMS verification (phone number) One number = one account.
  5. Done → 1,000-pt welcome bonus credited instantly Campaigns like "earn 500+ pt within 30 days for an extra bonus" run frequently.

Identity check is only required at cash-out

Hapitas needs no ID documents at sign-up. But once you cash out 30,000+ pt in total, eKYC is required (photo of a driver's licence / My Number card, etc.). "Do a first cash-out under 30,000 pt" and you can put the identity check off — easier to manage.

Where Hapitas is strong — e-commerce × travel × Apple

The categories where Hapitas is clearly stronger than rivals:

CategoryHapitas rateWorth noting
Rakuten Ichiba1.0% (same level as Moppy)Hapitas-only campaigns occasionally push past 1.5%
Yahoo! Shopping1.0–1.2%Hapitas-exclusive boosts on days ending in 5
Apple official store1.0%An effective discount on big iPhone / MacBook buys
Booking.com3.5–6.0%Crushes rivals for overseas hotels
Expedia3.0–5.0%Same
Jalan2.0–3.0%Roughly even with Moppy
Furusato tax (Rakuten / Satofuru)1.0%Same level as Moppy
Free video trials700–2,000 yen equiv.On par with Moppy, plenty of offers
Credit-card sign-upsIndustry standardA touch below Moppy, but flips in some months

For overseas hotels via Booking.com / Expedia, Hapitas wins outright. Booking one 30,000-yen-a-night hotel locks in 1,000+ pt. For frequent business or leisure travellers, just registering Hapitas is worth tens of thousands of yen a year.

Watch-outs on Rakuten Ichiba — SPU, shipping, and the cart trap

Rakuten Ichiba's rate is "1.0%" across Moppy / Hapitas / Pointtown — nearly identical — but your real rate swings hugely with Rakuten SPU and the Okaimono Marathon.

4 checks so you don't miss out via Rakuten

  1. From the Hapitas top page, search "Rakuten Ichiba" → tap "earn points" Going straight to a bookmarked Rakuten URL won't attach the cookie. Always go through Hapitas.
  2. Shop on Rakuten → complete everything "before adding to cart" in one session Leaving items in the cart overnight can break the cookie. Finish payment the same day.
  3. Check your SPU multiplier → combine with Rakuten Card, Rakuten Mobile, etc. Hapitas 1% + SPU up to 16× lifts the real rate dramatically.
  4. During a Marathon, aim for 10 shops Up to +9× points in one shopping run — 2–3× better than outside Marathon.

Note: Rakuten's "subscription orders", "Rakuten Books digital items", and "shipping / gift-wrap fees" are not eligible for cashback. Only the product's base price earns 1%, so it lands lower than the apparent total.

Ways to earn points

① Hapitas search → route everyday shopping

The core of Hapitas is simply "build the habit of searching Hapitas before you shop". 10,000 yen a month of Rakuten shopping is 1,200 yen a year — zero effort.

② Hapitas lottery (a unique feature)

A draw you can do once a day. 1st prize 10,000 pt; 4th prize wins 1 pt. The expected value is tiny, but it builds a login habit, so leaving app notifications on adds a few hundred yen a month.

③ Hapitas Outlet (via clearance sales)

The "Outlet corner" stacks a limited-time boost on top of the usual cashback. Targeting the "Hapitas Day" at the start and end of the month is the standard play.

④ Free-trial offers

Free trials for video / music / meal-kit delivery. The lineup overlaps with Moppy, so watch for the "did both and the same offer showed up" trap — the same offer only credits on one site.

⑤ Credit cards / account openings

Not as dominant as Moppy, but Hapitas beats rivals on some offers during campaigns. Always compare across all sites on pointnavi right before applying for a card.

The Amazon Gift "+5%" is quietly strong

Hapitas has an exclusive perk: 500 yen of Amazon Gift for 490 pt. If you're a heavy Amazon user, skip cash and put it all into Amazon Gift for an effective 1.05× rate.

For JAL / ANA miles, "via PeX" is the de facto route

Converting directly from Hapitas to miles only yields around 50%. The standard is Hapitas → PeX → various mile routes. It's fiddly, but once you're used to it the effective rate exceeds 80%.

Pollet linkage & instant cash

Pollet is a prepaid-card app from the same OZvision group as Hapitas. Its big draw: top up Hapitas points to Pollet instantly → spend them as Visa in stores or online.

  • Fee-free, real-time
  • Usable anywhere Visa is accepted (convenience stores / Amazon / Uber Eats, etc.)
  • The Pollet balance can also be withdrawn to your bank account (fee applies)
  • A practical way to "spend as cash right away" the points earned from card / FX offers

For the "I earned money on point sites and want to spend it now, not wait for a bank transfer" need, Pollet fits perfectly. Even for a last-minute night out or topping up a kid's allowance, Hapitas points → Pollet → convenience-store Visa payment is done in seconds.

Referrals & recurring rewards

Hapitas's referral program offers an industry-leading down-line bonus of up to 40%. The mechanics are close to Moppy's, but the cap differs.

  • 100 pt per person referred
  • Every time a referred friend earns points, 10–40% of that is credited to you
  • Your referrer rank is set by how many you referred in the past 6 months
  • Referred friends also get bonuses like "+1,000 pt for earning 500 pt within 30 days of joining"

What it means for bloggers

For anyone publishing point-site content on a blog / social long-term, Hapitas is "one of the two pillars you promote alongside Moppy" — a steady income source. The standard pitch is to split by use case: Hapitas for e-commerce-leaning users, Moppy for those chasing high-value offers.

Safety & the operator

OZvision Inc. was founded in 2006, is a JIPC member and holds the Privacy Mark. Private, but a veteran in the point-site industry.

  • SSL (HTTPS) throughout
  • Third-party data sharing is opt-in only
  • 5 million members, with no publicly reported large-scale data breach
  • Pollet had feature changes in 2024, but point-balance protection was maintained

Against "TSE-Prime-listed Ceres (Moppy's operator)" it's a notch smaller in corporate scale, but more than trustworthy enough as a point site. See Are point sites safe? 2026 for details.

FAQ

I use it alongside Moppy — when an offer overlaps, where should I apply?
Compare the offer-page rate each time. Search a service name on pointnavi and the rates from 8 sites — Moppy and Hapitas included — line up, so apply through whichever is higher each time. By category, Moppy leans toward cards / FX / brokerage, Hapitas toward e-commerce / overseas hotels.
I can't keep Hapitas's point expiry straight
Hapitas points lapse "1 year from your last activity (point-earning) date". Unlike Moppy's 180 days, the buffer is long — do any one offer a year and they won't vanish.
Is the Hapitas lottery actually worth doing?
Expected value is about 0.3–0.5 pt a day — 10–15 yen a month, so on pure effort-vs-reward it's marginal, but the side effect of building a login habit is bigger. Worth it if you turn on app notifications and finish it in 30 seconds each morning.
Does using Pollet change anything tax-wise?
Converting Hapitas points → Pollet (prepaid balance) counts as "realized gain". The economic benefit is fixed the moment you spend via Pollet, so it's treated the same as a cash exchange for income purposes. Point-site earnings over 200,000 yen/year are subject to a tax return.
Do I have to do the identity check?
Not until you've cashed out 30,000 pt in total. Above that, eKYC (face photo + ID) is required. Doing a first cash-out of a few thousand pt lets you handle the identity check later, when it's convenient.
