Rakuten Black Card Opens Application to All Who Meet the Conditions, Abolishing Invitation-Only System
Recruit will lower the point rebate rate for the “Recruit Card Plus (JCB).”
From usage on and after March 16, 2026, the point rebate rate will be reduced from 2% to 1.5%. Additionally, from the payment due on June 10, the annual fee will be reduced to 1,650 yen for primary members and 550 yen for family members (tax included).
This change is attributed to recent environmental changes. There are no changes to the service of the annual fee-free “Recruit Card.” The new membership application for the “Recruit Card Plus (JCB)” ended in March 2016.
