Clove Mystery Pack Review: 1,000pt for a ¥500 First Purchase, and What Shipping Really Costs

Clove Mystery Pack (クローブオリパ) is a Japanese online oripa site: you spend points on random draws from packs of Pokémon, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Weiss Schwarz cards and figures, and every draw lands a real prize. Sign up with code 4H0PcOa, verify your phone number by SMS, then buy 500pt (¥500) or more of points in a single purchase without a coupon. Clove adds 1,000pt to your account the moment that purchase goes through.

Type the code yourself under Enter referral code (招待コードを入力) and tap the check button: the form should confirm it's valid. If a code is invalid or has hit its invite limit, Clove registers you without it and the bonus won't apply. The reward is for new members only: an account that has registered with Clove before, or has already completed SMS verification there, doesn't qualify.

Clove points are worth ¥1 each and only buy draws on Clove. They can't be refunded, transferred or cashed out, they expire 180 days after they're added, and closing your account wipes them. So the deal is ¥500 for 1,500pt of play, a 1,000pt head start, not ¥1,000 of cash.

Pay for the qualifying 500pt at full price. Purchases made with a coupon don't count toward the referral, so don't apply a discount coupon to this one. Clove takes cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Alipay, Merpay and Japanese bank transfer; card and wallet payments credit points at once, bank transfers within three business days.

Each oripa page shows the price per draw, how many draws are left out of the total (のこり777/1000 means 777 of 1,000 remain) and the full prize lineup, which stays visible after prizes are drawn. On 24 October 2026 the packs on Clove's front page cost from 100pt to 250,000pt a draw. Some add a Last One prize for the final draw or an extra prize at a set draw number.

Where a pack shows a 還元率 (return rate), Clove defines it as the buyback points of every prize in the pack divided by the pack's total sales. It's a whole-pack figure for buying every draw, measured in Clove's own buyback points rather than market prices, and it promises nothing for a single draw. Labels such as アド確 (every draw pays back more points than it costs) and 最低保証 (a minimum prize value) use the same points basis. Treat every draw as random.

A prize sits in your Clove account until you choose. Within 30 days of winning it, ship it or convert it to points at the prize's set buyback value (還元ポイント). Do neither and Clove treats the prize as abandoned. Some prizes are marked ship-only and can't be converted, and RUSH tickets can be neither shipped nor converted.

Converting keeps the value on Clove: the points go straight back into your balance for more draws, with the same 180-day expiry. They never turn into cash, and Clove says its point values aren't promised to match market prices.

Shipping is paid in points and depends on where you live and the buyback value of all your unshipped prizes. Japan costs 500pt, free once your unshipped prizes total 1,000pt. Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand cost 1,500pt, free from 10,000pt. Malaysia is always 1,500pt, and the US, Australia and other supported countries always 2,500pt. Import duties and taxes are yours, and points spent on a shipment aren't returned if you cancel it.

Here's what that means for the bonus: 500pt bought plus 1,000pt is 1,500pt, exactly one Hong Kong shipment while you're below the 10,000pt line. Clove dispatches within 1–7 business days (1–10 if the order includes figures or electronics), and overseas parcels take about 5–14 days more. Overseas orders need your full name and a contact number on the account for customs.

Take it if you're an adult in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan or another supported country, you were curious about Clove anyway, and you can treat ¥500 as the cost of an evening's entertainment. The 1,000pt bonus triples what that ¥500 buys.

Skip it if you want cash back, if you'd feel pushed to buy more points to reach a free-shipping threshold, or if you live outside Clove's shipping list. Clove's terms allow under-18s only with a parent's consent; we'd treat it as adults-only. Outcomes are random, and no prize is worth chasing with more purchases.

Clove is run by TrustHub Inc. (株式会社トラストハブ) in Chiyoda, Tokyo, which holds a Japanese second-hand dealer licence (古物商, Hokkaido Public Safety Commission No. 123010000972). Its terms are governed by Japanese law with the Tokyo District Court as the court of first instance, and the Japanese text is the binding version. The terms define users as people using the service in Japan; overseas delivery runs through a separate shipping service (§9-4) that makes you responsible for customs.

Prizes of the same type are managed as interchangeable stock (§9-3), so you receive one item of the type you won. Clove's liability for transit damage is capped at ¥50,000, and for overseas parcels it isn't a party to the courier contract, so it refunds no points for a loss unless the fault is its own. If something arrives wrong or damaged, contact Clove within three days of delivery with an unboxing video and photos. Returns for your own reasons aren't accepted, and there's no cooling-off period.

For an adult who wanted to try Clove, code 4H0PcOa is an easy win: ¥500 becomes 1,500pt, the bonus lands at once and every pack shows what's in it before you draw.

Plan the exit before you play: convert prizes you won't ship, and ship only when the fee makes sense. Every draw is random and points never become cash, so don't buy more points to chase a prize.
