Regarding the point redemption system for My Number Cards, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has extended the deadline set by the end of September to the end of September, considering that many people have not received the card they applied for due to the effects of the new coronavirus.

The deadline for the system was until the end of September, but considering that the number of card applications has increased sharply and many people have not received the card due to the influence of the new coronavirus, general affairs The ministry has extended the deadline to the full.
The return points received using the system can be used from next year onwards.
However, the system is available to those who applied for the card by the end of April, and those who applied after May cannot use it even if they receive the card.
According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, about 22 million people have applied for the Mina Point system as of August 9.
