Summer 2026 brings large-scale point campaigns from major payment services. By combining PayPay, Rakuten, and d-barai, you can triple-dip to maximize point efficiency. Here is the complete summer poi-katsu strategy guide.

PayPay: Summer Mega Campaign

PayPay is running the “Summer PayPay Festival” from July 2026, offering up to 20% bonus rewards at participating stores. Combined with Yahoo! Shopping, you earn PayPay points on every purchase. Since many campaigns require pre-registration, check the campaign page in the app in early July.

Rakuten: Pairing with Shopping Marathons

Rakuten Ichiba’s “Shopping Marathon” runs multiple times this summer. By linking your Rakuten Card and Rakuten Bank through the SPU program, you can earn over 10x the usual points. Combining with Rakuten Furusato Tax lets you earn points even on tax payments.

d-barai: Must for Docomo Users

d-barai is running d-point boost campaigns this summer. Paired with d Card GOLD, you can get up to 7% rewards on d-barai payments. Daily use at FamilyMart, McDonald’s, and other d-barai stores steadily accumulates points.

Triple-Dip Strategy in Practice

When grabbing lunch at FamilyMart, paying with d-barai earns d-points. Set your Rakuten Card as the d-barai payment source, and you earn Rakuten points simultaneously (double-dip). If you also meet that month’s Rakuten SPU conditions, your Rakuten Ichiba shopping gets boosted returns, completing a three-direction point strategy.

Summer poi-katsu is an information game. Register each company’s campaign schedule in your calendar and never miss an entry deadline.
