How Referral Coupon Works
With a referral link, you can send a 30% off coupon (up to 1,000 yen off) to your friends. You, as a person who sent the invitations, can receive 1,000 points around the beginning of the following month when each of the invited friends signs up for membership.
Please Note
The referral link is different from the promotional URL.

How to Invite Friends
In order to invite friends, first you have to get a referral link. There are three ways to get the referral link.
1. From Dashboard
From Your Smartphone/PC
- Open your browser and log in to helloaini.com
- Click on the icon for your account information (located in the upper right corner)
- Select "Dashboard"
- Go to "About the Referral Program" at the bottom
- The unique referral link will be displayed.
2. From the "Point" Page
- Open your browser and log in to helloaini.com
- Click on the icon for your account information (located in the upper right corner)
- If you are accessing from your PC, select "Dashboard". If you are accessing from an app, you can skip this step.
- Select "For Guests/Hosts"
- Select "Point" then click the "Invite Friends" button
- The unique referral link will be displayed.
3. From the Invite Link
Login to helloaini.com, then click the link below. The unique referral link will appear to be copied and pasted to share.
The URL you get by any of these ways is your unique referral link, which you can share via SNS or email.
When Referral Coupons Are Issued
The coupon will be issued when the friend you invited accesses Aini from the referral link sent from you and sign up for membership. The coupon code will be sent to the friend via email. The subject of the notification email will be "Up to ¥1,000: 30% Off Referral Coupon for You"
When the invited friend completes the member signup, you, the person who invited the friend, will receive a notification email. The subject of the notification email will be "●● Completed the User Registration" (●● is the nickname of the friend who signed up).
What You Need to Issue a Coupon
To issue a coupon, the friend you invite has to register:
- Email address
- Nickname
Please Note
The referral coupon is issued to new users only. Already registered members cannot get the referral coupons even after closing the account and re-register for membership.
Coupon Redemption Period
When you invite friends to the referral program, please remind your friends that the coupon has an expiration date. The expiration date is written in the email with which the coupon code is sent.
The subject of the notification email will be: "Up to ¥1,000: 30% Off Referral Coupon for You"
If Friends Ask about How to Use the Coupon

Sending a Message to Invite Friends
You can send a message to the friends you have invited after they complete the member registration. You do so from the "Guest List" by following the steps below.
- Open your browser and log in to helloaini.com
- Click on the icon for your account information (located in the upper right corner)
- If you are accessing from your PC, select "Dashboard". If you are accessing from an app, you can skip this step.
- Select "Host Menu"
- Go to "Guest List"
- Click "Guest Type" and select "Referred Guests" from the pull-down menu
- Click the nickname of the guest you referred to Aini
- Click the "Message" button to send a message
Normally a host can send a message to a guest only when they are following each other, however, a host can send a message to someone who became a member through your referral without following each other.
