On September 1, the “minor point” business began. By linking My Number Card with a cashless payment service, you can earn a 25% “premium” for collect or purchase. The upper limit is equivalent to 5,000 yen.
Generally speaking, with the government’s My Number Card and the cashless popularization policy that you can get points worth 5,000 yen for 20,000 yen by buying and collecting, the period is from September 1 to March 2021 for 7 days .
Only one service per person can be selected as a payment service for minor points. Therefore, there are many paid services that aim to acquire users of their own services by adding an additional “premium” such as “more than 1,000 yen”.
A minor point, a paid service that can get “more” for 5,000 yen?
It is a “profitable” system, but there are some obstacles to using it. Procedures such as “Get my number card”, “Reserve minor points” and “Request minor points” are required. These are introduced in another article.
What are the minor points? Preparing for “cashless savings” starting in September
The minor points will finally start from September 1. Lower points will be awarded for payments and charges starting today. The timing of the award of points and the type of points vary depending on the paid service, some of which are awarded the same day and others the following month.
My number card is issued to each family member and each family member can request minor points. A family of four will receive 20,000 yen per person for a total of 20,000 yen in points.
There are 109 types of payment services that can be registered as minor points. Most of the transport IC cards such as QR code establishment and Suica are participating, and the credit cards are Rakuten card, Sumitomo Mitsui card, etc. However, JCB and others refuse to participate.
“Minor points” and “My number card” still on time
According to a press conference by Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Takaichi on August 22, “The number of minor point reservations exceeded 4 million and the number of applicants exceeded 3 million.” The number of My Number cards required to request minor points is approximately 24,200,000.
Minapoint’s budget is 247.8 billion yen and the number of users is “40 million”. Given that there are more issuers than current issuers of My Number Card, it seems unlikely that the frame will fill up right away.
It takes about a month to issue a My Number card, but the implementation period for Minor Point is until March 2021. Even if you don’t have a My Number card, it shouldn’t be too late. In addition, the number of outreach and outreach activities that coincided with the start has increased, such as responding to requests at Seven Bank ATMs and large-scale TV commercials starting in September. It appears that the options for the paid services have been completed, so I would like you to proceed with the preparations for the minor points.
