Sumitomo Mitsui Card has launched a new promotion, “Earn up to 8% rewards when you use contactless payments on your smartphone for public transport!”, starting April 13.
When passengers ride eligible trains and buses across Japan using contactless payments on their smartphones, they can receive up to 8% rewards. The offer is limited to Visa contactless payments via Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay, and Mastercard contactless payments via Apple Pay. Contactless payments made with the physical card itself, online shopping, charging transportation IC cards, and purchases at kiosks and other shops in stations or at bus stops are excluded.
Eligible cards are personal credit cards issued by the company that earn V Points (excluding ANA VISA Suica Card, ANA TOKYU POINT ClubQ ANA Card, and nimoca Card), as well as Meitetsu μ’s Card Gold, Meitetsu μ’s Card, minapita Card, and S STACIA Card. Benefits are granted for every 200 yen (tax included) of eligible usage per month.
For cards that earn V Points, when used with Olive Flexible Pay, users receive V Points equivalent to 8%. When using the same cards without Olive Flexible Pay, users receive V Points equivalent to 7%. For all other eligible cards, 6.5% of the usage amount is returned as a cashback on the card bill. The maximum benefit is 1,000 points or 1,000 yen per month for each card type. Usage amounts are aggregated from the first day to the last day of each month, including spending on family cards.
