JR West SC Development Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kita-ku, Osaka; Representative Director and President: Yasushi Takenaka; hereinafter 'JR West SC Development'), which operates the fashion building 'LUCUA Osaka', and JFR Card Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Takatsuki City, Osaka; Representative Director and President: Atsushi Oki; hereinafter 'JFR Card'), which issues cards such as the Daimaru Matsuzakaya Card, have concluded a merchant agreement for the 'QIRA Point Plus' (*1) rewards program operated by JFR Card.
Through this agreement, a total of 496 stores—comprising 183 'LUCUA' stores, 235 'LUCUA 1100' stores, and 78 stores in 'LUCUA DINING' and 'Baluchika/LUCUA FOOD HALL'—will become 'QIRA Point Plus' merchants starting April 1, 2026. As a result, customers paying with various cards issued by JFR Card at participating stores will always receive double the standard 'QIRA Points' (*2).
This initiative is not just a point preference for card use, but is part of a facility partnership aimed at promoting visitor circulation and expanding consumption in the Osaka/Umeda area. JFR Card has been expanding its 'QIRA Point Plus' merchants in phases; in July 2023, 'Osaka Station City', the core commercial facility in Umeda, joined the program. Starting from this point, they have been working to improve the convenience of card usage in the area.
With 'LUCUA Osaka' newly joining, the network of participating facilities around Umeda Station will further expand. Additionally, the new commercial zone 'LUCUA SOUTH', scheduled to open on April 5, 2026, will also join as a participating facility. This will spread the merchant network from 'Osaka Station City' to 'LUCUA Osaka' and then to 'LUCUA SOUTH', forming a seamless network connecting major commercial facilities around Umeda Station. This creates an environment where cardholders can easily use their cards across multiple facilities in the area, which is expected to improve visitor circulation, extend stay times, and expand consumption opportunities.
JR West SC Development and JFR Card will continue working to improve the shopping experience through partnerships between commercial facilities and financial services, contributing to the creation of further vibrancy in the Osaka/Umeda area.
