KDDI, KDDI Digital Life and JR East Launch povo2.0 Data Bonus Campaign for Shinkansen Passengers

KDDI, KDDI Digital Life, and East Japan Railway Company (JR East) will offer a campaign from September 18 through December 17 that gives povo2.0 mobile service users bonus data for traveling on the Shinkansen high-speed rail network.

The campaign is available to povo2.0 users who board at any of 55 Shinkansen stations within the JR East service area, using a Suica transit IC card linked to a Shinkansen e-ticket product booked through Ekinet, JR East’s online reservation service. When passengers tap their Suica card at a Shinkansen ticket gate, the benefit will be applied automatically via Touch Trigger.

There is no limit on the number of times benefits can be awarded during the campaign period. While the service may be used multiple times on the same day, benefits cannot be applied more than once to the same trip. Travel from Shin-Aomori Station to stations in the JR Hokkaido service area, or from Joetsu-Myoko Station to stations in the JR West service area, is not eligible.

Users must link their Suica ID and povo2.0 account in the povo2.0 app at least 20 minutes before boarding the Shinkansen. It takes approximately five to 10 minutes for the benefit to be applied after passing through the ticket gate.
