JR West Offers Point-Back Campaign for Sanyo Shinkansen and Limited Express Train Connections on the Same Day
JR West is conducting a campaign to give back WESTER points by lottery to those who connect between the Sanyo Shinkansen and conventional line limited express trains on the same day.
The campaign targets customers who use eligible products such as the EX Service or e5489 and travel on the same day on the Sanyo Shinkansen and JR West’s limited express trains departing from or arriving at Himeji, Shin-Osaka, and Kyoto stations. WESTER points equivalent to the limited express fare will be given back. The probability of winning is 30%, but it increases to 50% for users of the “Kuroshio”, “Konotori”, and “Mahoroba” limited express trains. The bonus points are scheduled to be awarded from late December.
The entry period is from September 19 to November 30, and the travel period is from October 1 to November 30. Reservations that combine “Sunrise Seto/Sunrise Izumo” and “WEST EXPRESS Ginga”, along with the Sanyo Shinkansen, conventional line limited express trains, and the Hokuriku Shinkansen are excluded from this campaign, including those for overseas services and some corporate model members.
