Basic rules for “multiple picking” so you don’t get sluggish at the cash register
Do you casually tap a single QR code at the cash register at a convenience store or drug store to make a payment? In fact, by simply combining presenting a common point card'' and devising a payment method,’’ the points earned on a single purchase can double or triple. In this article, we will explain in a Q&A format the steps to achieve the triple without hesitation.
Q1: “Why can’t I get points even if I link another company’s credit card with PayPay?”
**A: Due to a change in specifications, payments made with credit cards from other companies are no longer eligible for points. **
Currently, in order to receive rewards with PayPay, you must link your “PayPay Card” or pay from your “PayPay Balance”. If you’re aiming for double take, in addition to PayPay card payment (0.5% to 1.0%), take the step of presenting a barcode such as V Points or Ponta Points at participating stores first.
Q2: “What are the correct payment settings to ensure I receive a 1.5% return with Rakuten Pay?”
**A: Two-step settings are required: “Charge from Rakuten Card to Rakuten Cash (0.5%)” + “Pay using Rakuten Cash (1.0%)”. **
If you select “Direct payment from Rakuten Card” as the payment source for Rakuten Pay, the return rate will only be 1.0%. Please be sure to charge Rakuten Cash within the app before making a payment. In addition, if you are a Rakuten Point Card member store, the amount you present (0.5% to 1.0%) will be added, resulting in a total of 2.0% to 2.5%.
Q3: “What is the quickest way to link multiple payments with d Pay or au PAY?”
**A: The golden rule is to use the “Point Card Linkage Tab” within the app and complete all transactions within one app. **
- d payment: After presenting the “d point card” in the header, pay with the code. With d card payment, the double check of “presentation + payment” is completed.
- au PAY: Ponta card presentation function is integrated, allowing you to smoothly make triple payments (presentation + charge + payment) at Lawson etc. by simply switching the screen.
