TikTok launches incentive program amid potential US ban

Add TIA as a preferred source

TikTok has launched new promotions offering monetary incentives through TikTok Shop credits.

Users can earn US$50 for each new user they recruit, with bonuses up to US$350 for additional participants.

Further credits may be obtained through daily log-ins or browsing TikTok Shop. Additionally, participants receive US$80 in coupons after making purchases.

This initiative occurs as TikTok, owned by ByteDance Ltd., faces possible nationwide restrictions in the United States
