Rakuten Black Card Opens Application to All Who Meet the Conditions, Abolishing Invitation-Only System
V-Points’ Validity Period Changed to One Year from the Last Transaction Date
CCCMK Holdings and Sumitomo Mitsui Card have changed the validity period of V-Points starting from April 22.
Previously, depending on the type of card, the points were valid from 2 to 4 years from the month they were earned, but this has been changed to one year from the last transaction date. The points will automatically extend with additional accruals, uses, or exchanges. Points earned before the change are also subject to this automatic extension.
On the same date, the two companies have also integrated T-Points with V-Points. Points continue to be usable at the value of 1 point = 1 yen, as before.
