# How Do I Get TikTok Ads Credit for My New Account?

TikTok ad credit for new accounts is available through TikTok’s new advertiser incentive program. The most common structure is a Spend X Get Y offer: you register a new TikTok for Business account, spend a qualifying amount on eligible campaigns within a set window, and TikTok adds a credit amount to your account after the spend is confirmed.

In some markets, a smaller registration credit is applied without a spend requirement. Both types are accessible through TikTok Ads Manager after account setup.

## Step-by-Step: Getting Credit on a New Account

| Step | What to Do |
| --- | --- |
| 1. Register a new TikTok for Business account | Go to ads.tiktok.com and create a new account. The account must be genuinely new: your business entity must not have previously advertised on TikTok. |
| 2. Complete business verification | Submit your business details for verification in Account Settings. Unverified accounts are typically not eligible for credit programs. |
| 3. Link a valid payment method | Add a credit card, debit card, or accepted local payment method in the Billing section. Credit offers often require a payment method to be linked before activation. |
| 4. Check for an active offer in Billing | Once setup is complete, go to Account Settings > Billing > Promotions or Coupons. An active new advertiser offer will appear here if your account qualifies. |
| 5. Launch eligible campaigns | Run campaigns on eligible campaign types within the promotional window to meet the qualifying spend threshold, if applicable. |
| 6. Receive credit automatically | After qualifying spend is confirmed (or immediately for registration credits), the credit appears in your billing section within one to three business days. |

For how the credit then applies to your campaigns once issued, see [how TikTok ad credit works](https://getadcredit.com/question/how-does-tiktok-ad-credit-work/).

## Key Eligibility Requirements

- Your TikTok for Business account must be new: the underlying business entity must not have run TikTok ads before through any account.
- Your account must be registered in a market where a new advertiser credit program is currently active.
- Business verification must be completed and approved.
- A valid payment method must be linked to the account.
- Qualifying spend (where required) must be on eligible campaign types within the promotional window.

The Spend X Get Y structure is the most common format for new advertiser credit. For a full breakdown of how that program works, see [what the TikTok Spend X Get Y ad credit program is](https://getadcredit.com/question/what-is-the-tiktok-spend-x-get-y-ad-credit-program/).

## What to Do If No Credit Offer Appears After Setup

If your account is fully set up and no offer appears in your billing section, the most common reasons are that your market does not currently have an active program, the promotional window has closed, or your account is still pending verification. Contact TikTok Ads support at [ads.tiktok.com/help](https://ads.tiktok.com/help) to confirm whether a program is available for your account.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I get credit without spending anything first?

Some TikTok new advertiser programs issue a registration credit that does not require qualifying spend. In these cases, the credit appears in your account after you complete setup, including business verification and payment method linkage. Other programs use the Spend X Get Y structure, which requires reaching a spend threshold before credit is issued. The offer type active in your market determines which applies to your account. Check your billing section after setup to see the specific offer terms.

### How much credit can I get as a new TikTok advertiser?

Credit amounts vary by market, by the current promotional offer, and by the spend tier. Common structures range from $100 to $6000 in credit depending on the market and the qualifying spend amount. TikTok publishes the specific amounts available for your market in your Ads Manager account during the promotional period. For what the new advertiser offer structure looks like in detail, see [what the TikTok new advertiser offer is and how much credit you can get](https://getadcredit.com/question/what-is-the-tiktok-new-advertiser-offer-and-how-much-credit-can-you-get/).

### Does every new TikTok for Business account get credit?

No. Credit availability depends on the market your account is registered in, the current promotional window, and whether your business entity is genuinely new to TikTok advertising. In markets without an active new advertiser program, or for accounts created after a promotional window has closed, no credit offer is available. The offer is a promotional benefit, not a guarantee for all new accounts.

### Can I get credit if I previously used TikTok Promote instead of Ads Manager?

TikTok Promote (the in-app boosting tool) and TikTok Ads Manager are different products. Whether previous use of TikTok Promote disqualifies your business from new advertiser credit through Ads Manager depends on TikTok’s definition of “new advertiser” in the specific offer terms. In some programs, prior Promote activity does count against new advertiser status. Check the offer terms in your Ads Manager account and contact TikTok support if the terms are not clear. For the difference between Promote and Ads Manager credit, see [the difference between TikTok Promote and TikTok Ads Manager ad credit](https://getadcredit.com/question/what-is-the-difference-between-tiktok-promote-and-tiktok-ads-manager-ad-credit/).

### Is credit available the same day I register?

For registration credits that do not require qualifying spend, the credit typically appears within one to three business days of completing account setup, including business verification approval. For spend-matched credits, the credit appears after the qualifying spend threshold is crossed. The terms for your specific offer state the expected timing. Once credit is issued, you can track the balance through [the balance check process in Ads Manager](https://getadcredit.com/question/how-do-i-check-my-tiktok-ad-credit-balance-in-ads-manager/).
