Customize your wallet contents & choose cute designs for bank and point cards!
Posted on November 12, 2020
Have you ever thought of glamming up your wallet with cute and fun card designs? Fret not, as Japan (the land of all things cute and animated) has you covered. Point cards such as T-point, Waon, Nanaco, and Ponta cards are all the rage in Japan and are a thrifty and convenient way of saving money on future purchases from the stores you frequent most. T-point specifically can be used at the popular stores Softbank, Family Mart, Tsutaya, and Maruetsu. When visiting a store, the cashier will almost always ask you if you have a point card “pointo kādo arimasuka?” Once you get one, you can choose from many designs!

It’s an adorable Little Twin Stars T-point card! Point cards are usually free to set up except for a few stores which charge ¥300 as an initial fee. If you would like to start one, just tell the store clerk “pointo kādo wo tsukuritaidesu.” Depending on the type of point card you go with, you can get as much as 1 point per 100 yen spent and cash out whenever you would like to by saying, “pointo wo tsukaitai desu.”
