Earn credits by inviting (TikTok campaign)

Trixtu rewards you for growing communities. Every time someone joins through your personal invite link, you earn credits that can be cashed out as real euros. Perfect for content creators, event organizers, and anyone active in the Romanian diaspora.

Unique invite link

Each member has their own shareable link per community.

Built-in TikTok sharing

One-click copy link with utm_source=tiktok for campaign tracking.

10 credits per invite

Awarded instantly when the invited user joins the community.

Cash-out in euros

1 credit = 0.01€. Request withdrawal from your credits page.

How it works — step by step

Create or join a community

Go to Communities and create one for your city (e.g. 'Romani in Munchen'), or join an existing one. Create community.

Get your personal invite link

In the community chat sidebar, click 'Invite friends' or 'Share on TikTok' to copy your unique link. You can also find it in Community → Settings.

Share on TikTok (or anywhere)

Paste the link in your TikTok bio, video captions, or comments. Use the 'Share on TikTok' button so we can track where new members come from.

Credits are awarded automatically

Every time a new user signs up, verifies their email, and joins the community through your link — you get 10 credits in your balance, instantly.

Cash out when you reach 100 credits

Minimum withdrawal is 100 credits (1€). Request a cash-out from Settings → Credits.

💡1 credit = 0.01€. 100 credits = 1€, 1000 credits = 10€, 10,000 credits = 100€. No hidden fees.
