This guide covers genuine household shopping. We do not know Temu's internal detection weights and cannot tell you that a shared card or home Wi-Fi automatically causes a restriction. ## Decide who owns the account Keep account access, orders and support conversations under the actual account holder's control. Review the terms for your country and age group before registering. Do not create extra identities, alter an address or rotate networks to qualify for a new-user offer. A household member's eligibility depends on the specific referral rules, not on our assumption that a different phone makes them new. ## Credit belongs to its account Temu's official help says credit cannot transfer between accounts. A balance on your account will not pay for an order placed through your partner's account. Check which account holds the credit before ordering and avoid sharing login credentials simply to move value. Issued Temu Credit does not expire according to official help. That differs from a referral task's deadline or a coupon's validity. You do not need to spend a balance just to hide it from an alleged risk score. ## Explain genuine household use to support If a reward is rejected, save the campaign rules and rejection message. Explain who made each order or referral and ask which eligibility condition failed. Include order references rather than card numbers. A shared address alone does not let an outside observer diagnose the decision. If the account itself is suspended, use the named appeal channel. We cannot promise restoration, but honest records provide something support can review. Buying more, staggered activity or a new network is not an evidenced remedy. ## Check a referral before recommending it Does the round accept existing users, new app users or new buyers? Does a click count, or must the person complete a purchase? Are there household exclusions? Read those details before asking a family member to act. Do not promise a reward based only on a referral code opening the app. ## Sources - [Temu: Credit transfers between accounts](https://www.temu.com/ca/support/c3/can-i-transfer-my-temu-credit-balance-to-another-temu-account-f-57-s-197.html) - [Temu: Does Temu Credit expire?](https://www.temu.com/my-en/support/c3/does-temu-credit-expire-f-57-s-193.html) - [Temu: Terms of use](https://www.temu.com/terms-of-use.html) ## Related guides [ClaimCredit strategy: calculate the offer before you buy](/claimcredit-strategy) | [ClaimCredit missing or not working: a troubleshooting checklist](/claimcredit-not-working) | [“Temu jail”: missing offers are not a diagnosis](/temu-jail) *Reviewed 1 October 2026.
