MetaMask Rewards Season 1 Ends in Two Weeks – Use Code TQJC5V for 500 Points

What Is MetaMask Rewards Season 1?

MetaMask Rewards is the official loyalty and points program embedded directly into the MetaMask mobile wallet. It’s built by Consensys, the Ethereum infrastructure company founded and led by CEO Joseph Lubin. Instead of farming some random points app, you’re earning inside the wallet most of crypto already uses.

In Season 1, users collect points for doing on-chain actions through MetaMask — swaps, perps, prediction markets, MetaMask Card spending, and referrals. Those points determine your Level and your share of the Season 1 reward pool, which includes LINEA tokens and various product perks. On top of that, the team has already signaled that a dedicated MetaMask token is coming, and Rewards is clearly designed to be the “loyalty layer” that will matter when that token finally launches (details still TBA).

If you want the full deep dive into how points work, level thresholds, boosted activities, and farming tactics, we’ve already broken everything down in our main guide: What Is MetaMask Airdrop & Rewards? Full Guide.

Our Experience Joining MetaMask Rewards with Code TQJC5V

The AirdropBuzz team has been in MetaMask Rewards since early Season 1, and the story right now is all about how quickly a new user can get into the game before the season closes. With the referral angle, that answer is: pretty fast.

• Onboarding flow: After updating MetaMask Mobile, the new Rewards tab appears in the bottom navigation. Opt-in is a couple of taps, and the wallet immediately credits a 250-point sign-up bonus to eligible users.
• Using the code TQJC5V: During the Rewards sign-up process, there’s a field for a referral or invite code. Entering TQJC5V instantly doubles your starting stack to 500 points — 250 for joining and 250 for using a referral. That’s half of the way to Level 2 in one shot.
• Friction level: In our tests, the flow from “fresh download” to “500 points showing on the dashboard” was under 10 minutes, including importing an existing wallet. The most time-consuming part is always seed-phrase handling and security, not Rewards itself.
• Post-join path: Once the 500 points land, the app clearly highlights recommended next steps (Linea swaps, mobile-first actions, etc.). You can either do a few small boosted swaps right away, or park it and come back later during the claim window.

Compared to most airdrop strategies, this is very low-friction: one referral code, one short session, and you’re meaningfully positioned before Season 1 shuts its doors.

Time vs Reward in the Final Two Weeks: Is It Still Worth It?

News-wise, the big question our readers are asking is: “With only two weeks left, is it actually worth joining MetaMask Rewards now?”

With the TQJC5V 500-point head start, our answer is:

• Yes for active DeFi users: If you already use MetaMask and you’re not allergic to doing a few swaps on Linea, the 500 points from TQJC5V plus a bit of boosted volume is a very efficient entry ticket to Season 1 rewards.
• Probably yes for smaller but engaged users: Even with a modest bankroll, you can treat this like a “one evening” mission: join, enter TQJC5V, do a few careful swaps, and lock in a level that keeps you in the conversation for LINEA and future token benefits.
• Probably no for totally passive holders: If you keep everything in cold storage and barely touch DeFi, spinning up new wallet activity just for this last-minute push may not fit your risk tolerance.

Remember: Rewards are a bonus layer on activity you would reasonably be doing anyway. The AirdropBuzz team treats TQJC5V + 500 points as the “entry ticket,” with real upside coming from how smartly you farm after that — something we cover in depth in the full guide here: MetaMask Airdrop & Rewards Strategy.

Risks & Things to Watch

Even though this is an official program, Season 1’s late-game rush still carries the usual crypto caveats.

• On-chain risk: Every swap and bridge is a transaction on smart contracts. Stick to pairs and sizes you understand, and don’t use your long-term cold-storage stack as your farming stack.
• Perps temptation: MetaMask integrates derivatives via partners, with leverage available. High leverage for the sake of points is an easy way to blow up. If you’re not already a perps trader, you don’t need perps to make TQJC5V worth it.
• Geo limits: Some regions have restricted access to certain modules (perps, prediction markets, even Rewards in a few cases). Respect local laws and avoid sketchy workarounds.
• Scams and fake “Reward claim” sites: As Season 1 ends and the claim window opens, expect phishing to spike. Access Rewards only from inside the official MetaMask mobile app, never from random links on social media.
• Tokenomics unknowns: While LINEA rewards are live and the MetaMask token is on the roadmap, there is no confirmed TGE date or published allocation breakdown. Don’t size your bets based on rumor spreadsheets.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Join MetaMask Rewards with Code TQJC5V

For a full farming playbook (boosts, perps, advanced strategies), use our main guide. Below is the fast-track “newsroom version” focused on getting you those 500 points with TQJC5V before Season 1 ends.

1. Open the official MetaMask link or the AirdropBuzz portal.
   To keep things clean and support our testing, you can start via:
   Join MetaMask Rewards via AirdropBuzz.
2. Install or update MetaMask Mobile.
   Download MetaMask from the official App Store / Play Store, or update to the latest version. If you already use the browser extension, import your wallet into the mobile app using your Secret Recovery Phrase (never share it anywhere else).
3. Secure your wallet.
   Before touching Rewards, back up your seed phrase offline, enable a strong device lock, and keep this farming wallet separate from your long-term cold storage if possible.
4. Open the “Rewards” tab and opt in.
   In the MetaMask mobile app, tap Rewards in the bottom navigation. Hit Get started, read the program summary, and confirm. You should see a 250-point sign-up bonus appear once you’re in.
5. Enter the referral code TQJC5V to reach 500 points.
   During onboarding, you’ll see a field labeled “Referral / Invite Code” (or similar). Type in TQJC5V and confirm. Your starting balance should now show 500 points — 250 for joining + 250 for using the code.
6. Add any existing trading accounts (optional but strong).
   If you’ve used MetaMask for swaps/bridges before, add those accounts under Rewards settings. Some wallets will instantly receive “loyalty” points for historical volume, giving you a big jump above the base 500.
7. Do a few small, sensible swaps.
   With 500 points in your pocket, add a bit of activity: do a couple of swaps (ideally on Linea) with assets you’re comfortable holding. Focus on low slippage and reasonable sizes. This is usually enough to nudge new users toward a solid Season 1 position without taking outsized risk.
8. Bookmark the claim window.
   Season 1 ends in about two weeks, followed by a limited claim period. Set a reminder to open the MetaMask mobile app during that window, visit the Rewards tab, and claim whatever you’ve earned. Unclaimed rewards may not stick around forever.

As always: this is not financial advice. The AirdropBuzz team is sharing how we approach the opportunity, but you should only use funds you can afford to risk and always DYOR on MetaMask, Linea, and the future token plans before deciding how hard to farm.

MetaMask Rewards Season 1 – Quick FAQ (TQJC5V Edition)

What does the MetaMask code TQJC5V give me?

When you join MetaMask Rewards through the mobile app, you get a 250-point sign-up bonus by default. If you also enter the referral code TQJC5V during onboarding, you receive an extra 250 points, bringing you to 500 points total from day one.

Do I have to pay anything to use the code TQJC5V?

No, there’s no extra fee to enter the code — it’s part of the standard Rewards onboarding flow. The only costs involved in the program are normal on-chain expenses like gas fees and trading spreads when you actually use MetaMask for swaps, perps, or other activities that earn points.

Is it still worth joining with only two weeks left in Season 1?

For many users, yes. Starting with 500 points via TQJC5V means you’re already significantly closer to meaningful reward tiers with just a few sensible swaps. If you already use MetaMask and are comfortable with basic DeFi, joining now still makes sense. If you’re completely passive and never transact, the rush may not be worth it.

Where can I find a full strategy for farming MetaMask Rewards?

This news update focuses on the late-season opportunity around code TQJC5V. For the complete breakdown of levels, boosts, advanced farming routes, and how MetaMask Rewards might tie into a future token, read our main guide here: What Is MetaMask Airdrop & Rewards? Full Guide.

Is the MetaMask token airdrop confirmed?

A dedicated MetaMask token has been publicly acknowledged as part of the roadmap, and MetaMask Rewards is clearly being positioned as a key loyalty layer. However, the exact token symbol, launch date, and allocation model are still TBA. Treat the LINEA rewards as confirmed upside and any MetaMask token distribution as speculative for now — and always DYOR.
