What is the Shiny bonus?
New users can collect a 5% discount on their first pack purchase of either Pokemon or One Piece cards, with no Shiny promo code required. This is a decent bonus, although I confess that I had hoped there would be a no-purchase bonus, since some of the similar digital card-ripping and mystery-box sites let you open a pack or a box for free (see the
BigBux bonus
as an example). I also admit that I would have liked to see a bigger discount for the purchase bonus. But when I consider that some of these sites don’t offer any type of bonus at all, then overall I have to say this is a decent bonus.
When you first land on the site, you may not see anything about the bonus. Once you register for an account, however, you’ll see a note saying that you can collect your 5% discount simply by taking a short tour of the site. I can’t tell you for sure whether the discount is available even if you don’t take the tour, but I suggest you take the tour regardless, as it provides a great introduction to the site.
Which may have you wondering…
What is Shiny?
This is a digital pack-opening platform where you can open packs of Pokemon or One Piece cards. You purchase the pack with prices ranging from $15 to about $250 or so. Higher-priced packs tend to have cards with higher values inside, and all cards are PSA graded. The process is fully transparent, as you can see the exact cards that you could potentially pull, along with the chances of pulling them. You then have several options where you can:
- Vault the card, with an NFT providing proof of ownership.
- Sell it back to the site for instant site credit (up to 95% of the card’s value).
- List it in the onsite marketplace.
- Pawn it for seven to thirty days, which gives you a loan based on the value of your card.
- Ship the physical card to your home, at which time the digital version will be burned.
To learn more about how the site works, as well as what types of cards you can pull, you’ll want to check out my

There are several opportunities to claim promotions and rewards on an ongoing basis on this site. Take a look:
Quests
When you tap on the rewards tab, you’ll see a section outlining Quests or Challenges for you to complete. Usually there are around four of these Quests, and you get rewarded with a free card if you complete all four of them. The Quests range from logging in daily to activities such as opening packs worth a certain amount of money.
And speaking of packs…
If you tap on “Packs,” one of the tabs you’ll see is labeled “Promotion.” Each day this tab features pack promotions, which tend to be limited promos (either by quantity or time-limited. For example, as I write this there are three options:
- A Daily Card Pack for $50.
- A Pikachu Hunter Pack for $50.
- A “Created Pack” option where you build your own pack. You pick what’s inside each pack (One Piece, Pokemon or both), along with the range of values for the cards. Once you build it, the platform will price it, and then you can buy it.
These promotions change on a regular basis, so be sure to log in daily to check them. And speaking of promos, that brings us to the next point…
Loyalty rewards
This brand offers a loyalty rewards program that primarily provides two main rewards:
- Discounts on packs, with your discount increasing as you collect XP and climb through the 100 levels of the program. The discounts start at $5 and go all the way up to $2500.
- Shiny Tokens during air drops, with the amount you get being tied to the XP you’ve collected during a specific timeframe (referred to as a “Season”).
You can collect XP as follows:
- Marketplace transaction: 1.25 XP / $1.
- Quick sell: 5 XP/ $1.
- Quick sell with marketplace fees: 7.5 XP / $1.
This is a very transparent program, so you can log in at any time to see how much XP you need to move to the next level. For example, if you’re starting at Level 1, you’ll need 1000 XP to move to Level 2. There’s a progress bar in your account showing the amount of XP you’ve collected towards that goal, along with the percentage of XP you’ve collected (e.g. 25% of the way to the next level, or 99%, etc.). The lower levels of this program are quite doable if you’re moderately active with buying and ripping cards.
In addition, you can log into your account to see the estimated amount of Shiny Tokens that you’ll get during the next air drop. The more XP you collect during a season, the higher your personal allocation will be.
Now let’s take a look at another way to collect both XP as well as site credits…
Referral rewards
This brand offers a unique referral reward. Not only do you get a percentage of your referral’s marketplace fees, you also get a percentage match of any XP your referral collects. The percentages you get are tied to how active your referral is on the platform. As your referral’s volume and activity increases on the platform, so do your rewards. Here’s an overview:
| Level (based on referral’s $ volume) | Percentage of referral’s marketplace fees you get | XP match |
| Level 1, $0+ volume | 10% | 10% |
| Level 2, $10k+ volume | 12% | 12% |
| Level 3, $50K+ volume | 15% | 15% |
| Level 4, $250K+ volume | 20% | 20% |
| Level 5, $1 million+ volume | 25% | 25% |
Now that you have a good sense of the types of rewards and bonuses you can collect, let’s turn our attention to how to claim these offers, starting with the welcome offer. Read on…

Get XP, unlock pack discounts, receive Shiny Tokens
Collecting your bonus is a simple process, as all you have to do is follow these steps:
-
Tap the Shiny banner on this page.
-
Tap the “Create an Account” button.
-
Fill in your email address, or use your Abstract or Google login.
-
Verify your email address by inputting the code when prompted.
-
Take the site tour.
And that is all there is to it, as a Shiny promo code is not required to collect this bonus. Once you’ve completed these steps, then tap the “Packs” icon, select the card pack you want, and you should see your discount showing next to the price. You’ll need to fund your account using USDC, or you can use a fiat currency onramp (Coinbase) for funding.
Now that you know how to collect your bonus, let’s take a look at how to make the most of these offers. Read on…
To optimize your bonuses, you’ll want to check out the following tips for choosing your first purchase, deciding what to have shipped to you, and more. Take a look…
💰 Consider your first purchase carefully
Your 5% discount is only good on your first purchase, so be sure to make that one count. For example, if you plan on purchasing one of the more expensive packs at some point, turn that pack into your first purchase to optimize your discount. This goes for any site that offers discounts, such as the
Card Crush bonus.
📦 Vault your wanted cards
Whenever you pull a card that you want shipped to you, you may consider vaulting it until you have several wanted cards. That way, you can save with combined shipping, tracking and insurance. There’s no sense collecting your 5% discount or a loyalty rewards discount only to overspend unnecessarily on shipping costs.
🔍 Check the pack contents carefully
One of the great things about this site is that it’s very transparent about what types of Pokemon and One Piece cards you can pull from each pack, along with the chances of you pulling each of these cards. While you may tap on a pack and see some very exciting cards, the chances of you pulling the top cards are very slim. That’s why you’ll want to look at specific chances you have of pulling certain types of cards, which can range from 0.5% for the highest tier, to 70%+ for the most common tier. The second reason to check the contents carefully is because some packs don’t offer a pack bonus. Most packs give you a 1% chance to win a bonus card, but in some cases a discounted pack of cards doesn’t offer this bonus opportunity.
If there is a specific card you want, you could end up spending a whole lot of money trying to obtain that card. Sure, buying all those packs will help you collect XP, which in turn will enable you to ascend through the loyalty progression ladder and secure bigger discounts. And sure, ripping those mystery packs can be quite entertaining. However, at the end of the day you’ll want to consider your goals – if your main goal is to get a specific card, then you may be better off searching for it in the marketplace rather than trying to win it as a prize by chance.
💵 Use the instant cash out
You’re likely to pull low-value cards, duplicates of what you already have, and cards that you just don’t want. When that happens, your best bet is to liquidate it immediately by selling it back for site credit, especially for low-value cards. You can then use that site credit to purchase additional packs. You will take a hit on the value when you use the instant sellback feature, but you’ll save time and even money compared to trying to sell it in the marketplace (which incurs a 4% seller fee), or having it shipped to you to try to sell it locally. This advice is the same no matter what type of digital or physical box opening site you use. For example, if you take advantage of the
Packz.io bonus, it’s a good idea to sell back unwanted cards instantly. Now if you have a higher-value card, then it’s worth selling in the marketplace. Not only will you get more money for it, but selling it will also help you collect XP for moving through the loyalty rewards program levels.

Now let’s wrap up our discussion so you can collect your bonus…
As you just discovered, new users can take advantage of a 5% discount on a first purchase, and there is no Shiny bonus code required to claim this offer. In addition to the purchase discount, you can also take advantage of additional promotions, such as the Daily Pack Promotion, referral bonuses, and the discounts and air drops that are allocated as part of the 100-level loyalty rewards program. While the welcome bonus might not be the biggest and best one in the industry, the ongoing rewards program is great for active customers who are opening plenty of packs.
To collect your welcome bonus, all you have to do is tap the Shiny banner on this page to get started. Enjoy!

🪙 What are Seasons?
This platform offers a distinct time period called a Season, where you can collect a reward (such as Shiny Tokens) based on how much XP you collected during a Season. The brand will allocate 20% of its Shiny Tokens across four Seasons, with the remaining 20% being distributed through special offers, surprise air drops, and the like.
⚔️ What are Battles?
You can engage in head to head Battles with other users on the platform, which means everyone pulls a card from the same deck, and the one who pulls the highest value card wins a chance to evolve their card. This isn’t a bonus, but it does give you a chance to upgrade your cards.
🔎 Where can players find a Shiny bonus code?
The good news is that no promo code is required for the bonuses mentioned in this article. If a code does become available, you’ll find it on the banners on this page.
