A railway company operated by a convenience store
Some points at major convenience stores will not be able to return points for cashless payments due to the increase in the consumption tax rate. This is because some railway companies that operate convenience stores on the premises of stations decided not to redeem points.
In the cashless payment point reduction system starting next month, the three major convenience stores will purchase at the time of payment in a form that the company will pay in addition to privately managed franchise stores as well as directly managed stores that are not subject to government subsidies. 2% is deducted.
On the other hand, some railway companies that operate convenience stores on the premises of stations by signing franchise contracts with convenience stores will no longer give points.
Of these, Tokyo Metro, which contracts with Lawson, will not redeem points at 24 stores operating on the premises of the station, and it will not be implemented at 59 stores operated by Seibu Railway, which contracts with FamilyMart.
In addition, Keikyu Corporation, which contracts with Seven-Eleven Japan, will redeem points at 7 stores outside the station, but not at 36 stores inside the station.
Railway companies are not small and medium-sized enterprises that can receive subsidies from the country, so the cost burden is large, but there is concern that consumers will be confused because the response will be different even in the same convenience store chain The
