Rakuten Mobile x Rakuten Points: The Ultimate Guide to “Poikatsu” (Point Earning) in Japan
Are you looking to save on your monthly mobile bill while maximizing your daily shopping rewards? Rakuten Mobile is the ultimate tool to make that happen.
More than just a carrier, it serves as an “accelerator” for the entire Rakuten Ecosystem. Here is how you can master the art of “Poikatsu” (point earning) using Rakuten Mobile.
1. Maximize your SPU
The key to earning points efficiently is the “Super Point Up” (SPU) program. By subscribing to Rakuten Mobile, your point multiplier on Rakuten Ichiba increases by up to 4x. For example, if you spend 50,000 JPY monthly on Rakuten Ichiba, the 4% increase results in:
$$50,000 \times 0.04 \times 12 = 24,000 \text{ points}$$
Essentially, your mobile bill could be fully offset—or even result in a net gain—just by earning these points.
2. The “Ultimate Cycle” for mobile payments
The greatest benefit of Rakuten Mobile is the ability to pay your monthly bill with your earned points:
- Earn points on Rakuten Ichiba.
- Use those points to pay your mobile bill.
- Save or invest the extra cash.
With the “Rakuten Saikyo Plan,” you enjoy a tiered pricing structure that stays affordable no matter how much data you use.
3. Accelerate savings with “Rakuten Pay”
Pro “Poikatsu” users leverage “Rakuten Pay.” By charging your account via Rakuten Card, you can earn up to 1.5% back. Using the Rakuten Point Card at stores combined with Rakuten Pay is a fundamental “double-dipping” strategy. Rakuten Mobile users often get access to exclusive, highly rewarding campaigns that you shouldn’t miss.
