Changes to the Usage Conditions of d Points Abroad Considering the Actual Exchange Rates
NTT Docomo will change the usage conditions for “d Points” abroad starting April 1st.
The changes will take into consideration the actual USD to JPY exchange rates, with the fluctuating exchange rates set on the first business day of each quarter based on the rate at the end of the previous month.
When using d Points at the rate of 1 USD = 150 JPY, the current rate assumes 100 points = 1 USD, but it will change to 150 points = 1 USD. Similarly, when earning d Points, the current rate of 1 USD = 1 d Point will change to 1 USD = 1.5 d Points.
d Points are accepted in destinations like Hawaii and Guam. Due to the rates being more favorable compared to the actual exchange rates, d Points have been a valuable asset for travelers abroad, especially in times of a weaker yen.
