The JAPAN CASHLESS Rebate Day 6: Rebate Mana

2% and 5% CASHLESS rebates are processed and paid out at the end of each month. So I was a little surprised last night when I opened JRE POINT app, checked the transaction list and found lots of extra points listed as ‘rebate campaign’.

It took me a moment to realize that these were not JAPAN CASHLESS store rebate points but JRE POINT campaign rebate points. JRE POINT is running several point campaigns, the 2% one runs until June 30, while the NewDays Self Checkout one runs until October 30. If you are registered with JRE POINT, use Apple Pay Suica to buy your daily commute drinks at NewDays self checkout this month and rack up the points: the regular 2% + the 3% self checkout. Every other point system is doing the same from PayPay to Rakuten so keep an eye out for all kinds of campaigns.
