It was reborn from Oki Doki points in January 2026. ※2 Applies to 'JCB Original Series' cards issued by JCB (excluding corporate and family cards). ※3 J-POINTs will be awarded based on the redemption rate relative to the accumulation amount. J-POINTs can be used directly for shopping at physical stores and online, with 1 point worth up to 1 yen. Please check here for details (https://www.jcb.co.jp/point/index.html). ※4 The qualifying monthly usage amount applies only to shopping usage other than credit card investment. Note that certain expenditures not eligible for J-POINT accumulation, such as various annual fees, shopping revolving/installment/skipped payment fees, cash advance usage, and electronic money charges, are not included in the calculation. ※5 For every 200 yen of investment, standard cards are awarded up to 1 J-POINT, and premium cards are awarded up to 2 J-POINTS. ※6 The available accumulation amount may vary depending on the fund. ※7 Eligible funds exclude some options, in addition to foreign currency-denominated MMFs.
