KDDI will begin offering new benefits on July 1, 2026, as part of the ongoing "Summer Ponta Pass Festival."
The "Summer Ponta Pass Festival" is a campaign offering benefits such as increased point還元 rates for Ponta Pass members, held for two consecutive months starting in June 2026, with different benefits offered each month. In July, the "Ponta Pass Point Reward UP" will be implemented, which increases the point還元 rate based on the number of times au PAY (code payment/online payment) is used at approximately 170 participating stores, including supermarkets and drugstores, allowing for more advantageous shopping at everyday stores.
Additionally, the second phase of the stamp rally, where you can win up to 10,000 points, will continue from June. In the July stamp rally, you can collect stamps by entering "Ponta Pass Point Reward UP" and selecting a course for "Weekly LAWSON," which will have new courses added on July 7. Through the stamp rally, you can learn about the appeal of Ponta Pass's enhanced services.
KDDI will continue to aim to provide advantageous and exciting services that suit customers' lifestyles through "Ponta Pass."
