◆ Original Goods Awarded
At stores in Minato and Chiyoda wards of Tokyo, if an overseas American Express or JCB cardholder makes a single payment of 5,000 yen (tax included) or more with any card, they will receive original merchandise. Benefits can be picked up at designated redemption points in each area, and at some participating facilities, you can pick them up immediately after shopping. To receive your card, you will need to present three items: your passport, receipt, and your card sales slip.
◆ Large-scale area announcements
We will announce this policy in designated areas for inbound tourists. In Tokyo, flag banners, digital signage, posters, and other in-store promotional tools will be displayed in various locations including the Marunouchi and Yaesu areas, as well as in Minato and Chiyoda wards.
