Earning via Referrals × Point Activity 2026 — Down-Line Rewards & Stock Income
Referrals become "stock income"
Point-activity referrals are "stock income" that keeps coming once you build the system. Gather sign-ups via your referral link and you earn in two stages: a referral bonus (one-time) + down-line rewards (ongoing). Post seriously and tens of thousands of yen a month is within range. This article organizes the mechanism, each site's program, how to post, and cautions. For the strategy aiming at 100,000 yen a month, see the 100,000-yen chapter.
How referral rewards work
- Referral bonus (one-time): when the referred party registers + meets conditions, the referrer gets a one-time reward (a few hundred to a few thousand yen).
- Down-line reward (ongoing): a few to tens of percent of the points the referred party earns also flows to the referrer, ongoing, without reducing the referred party's share. This is the core of stock income.
The key with down-line rewards is that "the referred party's points aren't reduced." The site pays separately from its ad budget, so both the referrer and the referred party benefit — a win-win.
Each site's referral program
| Site | Referral bonus | Down-line reward |
|---|---|---|
| Moppy | 300–500 yen + condition bonus | Up to 100% of the referred party's earnings (limited campaigns), etc. |
| Hapitas | 100–400 yen | Yes (a few %) |
| PointTown | A few hundred yen on conditions | 10% of the referred party (strong for family referrals) |
| Gendama | A few hundred yen | A 3-tier system (down to grand-referrals) |
※ Programs change, so check each site's referral page for the latest. The generosity of down-line rewards varies by period.
How to post (blog / social)
- Post from experienceReal results — "I actually earned and cashed out" — are the strongest.
- Beginner how-to articlesCover sign-up steps and recommended offers carefully. Aim for search traffic.
- Funnel via X / blog / YouTubePlace referral links naturally.
- Update continuouslyDown-line rewards are stock, so the longer you keep at it, the more it accumulates.
Cautions (terms / law)
- Stealth-marketing rules (Premiums and Representations Act): since October 2023, ads/PR must be clearly marked "PR" or "ad." Always label articles with referral links.
- No aggressive solicitation: pestering friends or false claims violate the terms and lose trust.
- No self-affiliate duplicate accounts: making your own second account for referral rewards violates the terms → ban. The safety chapter.
- Income is taxable: referral rewards are miscellaneous income. Over 200,000 yen a year, file a return (the tax chapter).
