Pre-registration of "minor points" started at 17:12 on July 1 at some supermarkets.
For people who have a My Number card, the "minor points" system, where points of up to 5,000 yen can be returned with cashless settlement, starts from September, even at some supermarkets etc. Pre-registration has started.
In order to use the "Miner Point" system, it is necessary to apply in advance using a My Number card, and you can apply from a smartphone etc. from the first day.
Under this system, users are supposed to choose only one payment service to receive points, and some payment operators such as supermarkets and mobile phone companies will apply on the spot to connect to their own services. Some places have a corner where you can apply.
There is also a dedicated corner at a major supermarket in Koto-ku, Tokyo, so that you can apply using a personal computer or a My Number Card reader.
Some of the visitors said that I would like to choose a credit card that I often use because I have my number card, while others said that I did not make it because it is a hassle.
"I feel that the number of applications for minor points is gradually increasing. I want to promote speedy cashless payments as a countermeasure against infections," said Masamichi Ueyama, director of AEON RETAIL WAON Promotion Department.
