I agree that this falls in the ‘why would you bother’ category. I am a proud ketchi (tight with money), but it makes sense to focus on what matters… After being back in Japan for 9 months, I’m yet to find a store point system that gives me enough to make it feel worth the effort of carrying 30 cards around in my big fat wallet!

Interesting article though! I didn’t know it was possible to charge your phone for free in customer service centers, it’s very 便利！ Thank you!

Y180 over 5 years is nothing compared to the alternative of wasting time at the Docomo shop.
