How to Redeem a Muse Invite Code

There's a referral bonus hiding in Settings, and it expires 48 hours after you sign up. Here's exactly where to enter the code, how the reward works, and what to do when a code won't redeem.

Last checked: September 19, 2026. Promotion terms can change; verify the current offer in the app.

Meta is pushing Muse hard — it hit #1 on the US App Store within a week of launch — and the invite program is part of that push. Share a code, and both sides reportedly get a large token grant. The catch that burns people: you have 48 hours from account creation to redeem one. Miss the window and the option is gone.

Use my invite code

New to Muse? Join here, then enter this code under Settings → Redeem invite code within 48 hours of signing up — we both get 1 billion Muse tokens.

How to redeem it, step by step

  1. Open the Muse app (iOS or Android).
  2. Tap Settings.
  3. Tap "Redeem invite code."
  4. Enter the code exactly as shared — these are case-sensitive strings, so copy-paste rather than typing.
  5. Confirm. You should see a success message; the reward lands in your account.

That's the whole flow. It takes under a minute, which is why it's worth doing during initial setup rather than "later" — later is how the 48 hours run out.

Field note

I watched a friend sign up, get excited about the app, spend three days exploring, and then try to redeem a code — gone. The 48-hour window is measured from account creation, not from when you first open Settings. If someone sent you a code, redeem it before you go exploring.

What you actually get

The referral reward reported for the launch promotion is 1 billion Muse tokens to each side — the referrer and the new user. That figure comes from Meta's own promo materials and third-party referral trackers; treat it as promotional and subject to change, but the order of magnitude is the point: it's a genuinely large grant, not a token gesture.

What are tokens good for? They fund your Muse usage — every task, message, and background job draws on your allowance. Meta says the free tier covers most people, and a grant like this effectively extends how much you can delegate before the usage meter becomes a concern. If you plan to run background goals or heavy research tasks, redeeming a code is the single easiest way to buy yourself headroom.

One more mechanic to know: each code is reported to be limited to 30 redemptions. A code shared in a big group chat or a viral post can max out. If yours won't go through, that's the most likely reason after the 48-hour window.

Where to find your own code

Once your account exists, your personal invite code lives behind the "Invite" button in the top right of the main chat screen. Tap it, copy the code, and share it however you like. When someone redeems it, you get the referrer side of the reward.

A practical note: because codes cap at 30 uses, don't blast yours somewhere with thousands of viewers and expect all of them to land. Share it with people directly — friends, family, a small community — where you can confirm it worked.

When a code won't redeem

Work through this list in order:

  • Check the 48-hour window. If you created your account more than two days ago, the redemption option is gone for this account. There's no workaround — it's a hard cutoff.
  • Check for typos. Re-copy the code instead of retyping it. Case matters.
  • Check whether the code is maxed out. 30 redemptions and it's done. Ask the person who shared it for a fresh one, or find another.
  • Check whether the promotion ended. Launch promos are time-limited by nature. If Meta has wound it down, no code will work — and no amount of retrying changes that.

If none of those apply and it still fails, the honest answer is that something on Meta's side is off — wait a few hours and try once more before giving up on it.

Caution

Never buy an invite code, and never pay anyone who promises token grants, account help, or "premium" access. Codes are free by design, and anyone selling one is running a scam. This publication will never sell codes or tokens either.

Is it worth bothering with?

Yes — with one qualification. The redemption takes a minute, the reward is large, and there's no downside: you're not granting extra permissions or changing your account in any way. The only cost is remembering to do it within 48 hours. Set a reminder for signup day if you think you'll forget; the window is the entire game.

The qualification: don't let the token grant change how you set up the app. Redeem the code, then follow the normal discipline — one job first, one connector at a time — rather than going on a delegation spree just because the meter is full. Tokens don't fix a bad brief.

Quick answers

How do I redeem a Muse invite code?

Settings → "Redeem invite code," enter the code within 48 hours of creating your account. Copy-paste it to avoid typos.

How long do I have to redeem it?

48 hours from account creation. After that, the option disappears — redeem during setup.

What do both sides get?

Reported at 1 billion Muse tokens each for the launch promotion — a large usage grant, though the exact figure is promotional and subject to change.

Where is my own invite code?

Behind the "Invite" button in the top right of the main chat screen. Each code reportedly works for up to 30 redemptions.

Why isn't my code working?

Usually the 48-hour window passed, the code hit its 30-use cap, or there's a typo. Expired codes can't be revived.
