How to Get Free Items on Temu: With or Without Referring Friends
Simple ways to score free items, whether or not you invite friends
Temu is an online shopping platform famous for its incredibly low prices and surprising deals, including giveaways of “free” items. In this guide, we’ll explain the various ways you can earn free items on Temu, along with a quick overview of the company’s history so you know exactly who you're shopping with.
Key Things to Know
New users automatically get a free gift upon signing up.
Earn free items by playing in-app games like Fishland, Farmland, and Hat Trick.
Check out the Free Items & Giveaways page for more freebies that don’t require referring friends.
1. Sign Up for Temu
To start, visit Temu’s website and sign up by clicking the “Sign in/register” button in the top-right corner. If you're using a mobile device, download the Temu app (available for iOS/Android) and hit the “Register” button.
New users automatically receive a coupon for their first purchase, as well as a free welcome gift. Temu also offers some items for free when you first download the app.
2. Play In-App Games
In the Temu app, tap the “You” icon at the bottom center of the screen, then select “Earn free gifts & cash” to access a list of mini-games and referral promotions.
While the games are fun, many of them require you to refer friends via a Temu link to unlock rewards. As you near your prize, the game becomes more challenging. Some games include:
Hat Trick: Collect energy and hit “Win 4 Freebies” to earn free prizes.
Fishland: Select items you’d like to get for free and feed virtual fish to earn them.
Farmland: Manage a virtual farm and earn free Temu items.
Refer and Earn: Spin a wheel, refer friends, and unlock free gifts.
Holiday Games: Special promotions around holidays (e.g., Black Friday) often focus on friend referrals.
3. Use Coupon Codes
Visit the “Coupons & Offers” page to see the latest deals from Temu.
On the website: Hover over your profile icon and select “Coupons & Offers” from the menu.
On the app: Tap the “You” icon, then select “Coupons & Offers.”
Temu may offer coupon bundles to new users, helping you save more on your purchases.
4. Open the Daily Gift Box
In the app, tap the “You” icon at the bottom, then navigate to “Messages” and “Promotions.” Look for the “Daily Gift Box” promotion. Opening these boxes can give you access to special deals, promotions, and even account credit.
5. Participate in Temu Giveaways
Check out the Free Items & Giveaways page on Temu’s website for available offers. Note that some giveaways are exclusive to new users. There is no direct equivalent page within the Temu app.
6. Join Temu’s Affiliate Program
By signing up for Temu’s Affiliate program, you can earn money when others use your referral link to sign up, as well as commissions on purchases made through your referral code. While this method doesn't directly give you free items, it can provide you with enough earnings to buy them.
7. Apply for Temu’s Influencer Program
Content creators can apply to become part of Temu’s Influencer program. This program offers spending credit and free items in exchange for posting about Temu. To apply, submit your most popular social media account for review, and Temu will determine if you’re a good fit. Your earnings as an influencer depend on how much Temu-related content you share.
Tips for Success
Posting TikToks or YouTube Shorts showcasing your Temu hauls with hashtags like #TemuReferralCode (and including your referral link) can help you collect more referrals, unlocking more free items.
While Temu offers great prices, the quality of the items may vary. Don’t expect premium quality, but many products are decent for the price.
