The fastest sign-up bonuses are with reward apps and survey platforms
The highest bonus offers are usually on crypto or stock trading apps
Some sign-ups require personal information that not everyone feels comfortable sharing
There are sign-up bonus sites and apps worth trying beyond trading and crypto platforms, with initial rewards ranging from ¥730 to ¥2,180.
Reward Apps with the Best Sign-Up Offers
Freecash is the strongest option for a free sign-up bonus. New users receive an instant ¥1,460 welcome bonus, and registration only requires an email, Google, or Steam account.

Freecash also offers quests, a mobile app, and over 45.400 games, surveys, and video offers. Cashout options include Amazon gift cards, PayPal, and cryptocurrency.
A few other platforms with sign-up bonuses worth noting:
- Kashkick: ¥146 sign-up bonus with a ¥1,460 cashout minimum
- Swagbucks: ¥1,460 sign-up bonus after email confirmation
- Fetch Rewards: Up to ¥1,460 from your first receipt scan, via receipt scanning
- Ibotta: No direct sign-up bonus, but you earn ¥730 after your first purchase
Not every reward app offers a direct sign-up bonus. Those that do are the fastest way to earn with minimal personal information — just an email address.
Online survey platforms commonly offer a sign-up bonus. Freecash gives new users a ¥1,460 welcome bonus just for creating an account.

A few reliable survey platforms with sign-up rewards:
- Survey Junkie: Points on sign-up, typically worth up to ¥730
- Toluna: A small bonus of around ¥290 or more, redeemable for gift cards
- InboxDollars: ¥730 sign-up bonus for new members. You can also earn by reading emails or completing surveys
These bonuses are relatively modest and some platforms require a high cashout minimum to redeem them. For a faster return, Freecash offers a welcome bonus on sign-up, with cashouts that typically process in under 17 minutes after a quick ID check.
Crypto trading platforms offer some of the larger sign-up bonuses available, typically between ¥1,460 and ¥2,910 per sign-up. These platforms suit users who already understand how crypto markets work.

Trading Apps That Give Free Stocks
Trading apps offer sign-up bonuses in free stocks and referral rewards. Most only require registration, though some offer larger bonuses for a small initial deposit.
- MooMoo: Up to 15 free stocks on sign-up, plus five free stocks per ¥14,560 deposited
- Acorns: Up to ¥2,910 sign-up bonus for new members
- Fundrise: A real estate investment app with a ¥1,460 sign-up bonus
Trading apps are one way to earn money without an initial investment. If a platform isn't for you, you can walk away with the sign-up reward and nothing else spent.
Bank Apps with the Largest Sign-Up Bonuses
Bank apps typically require more personal information than other platforms, including tax-related registration. The trade-off is some of the largest available sign-up bonuses.
- Wise: Up to ¥29,130 per referral sign-up
- Chase Total Checking: ¥43,690 for opening a new account and setting up a direct deposit of ¥72,820 or more within 90 days
- SoFi: ¥7,280 to ¥43,690 after a direct deposit within the first 30 days
- TD Bank: ¥29,130 on sign-up with a minimum ¥72,820 account balance
Bank bonuses require more steps and verification than other methods, but pay the most. For faster rewards with fewer ID requirements, Freecash pays a ¥1,460 welcome bonus instantly on sign-up.
