What is a lively poi that needs attention?
While the word "poi activity" is becoming popular and more and more people are accumulating points, it is often said that they are avoiding poi activity because it is "troublesome". The reason why the trouble is more than the profit is that it is difficult to see how much profit there is, and the point that you do not know how to use the accumulated points. [Image] What is the liveliness of caution? This time, we will focus on the exit strategy, which is the "how to use" of the points, and talk about the experiences of individuals who enjoy poi activities easily and profitably. ■ A strong ally of Poi activity! Let's use the smartphone app We strongly recommend that you use the point card in the smartphone app to continue talking about Poi activities! [You don't have to carry a card] If you transfer your loyalty card to the app, you don't have to carry a card with you. It's easy to lose a lot of cards from your wallet. [You can see the point balance and expiration date at a glance] One of the advantages unique to the app is that you can check the point balance and expiration date on the screen. In particular, I would like to check the expiration date diligently in order to make the best use of points. [You can use electronic coupons] On the app, you can get points just by displaying it on the screen and showing it to the clerk. You may also be able to use electronic coupons that are automatically discounted. It's hard to check this, so you can ignore it if you want to use it for Zubora. [Pay as it is with a barcode] If you have enough points balance, you can pay for the store with only points. It's surprisingly comfortable to finish shopping without preparing other payments. [Points with a large balance can be used instead of cash with "○○ Pay"] For points with a balance of thousands to tens of thousands, you can use it for various payments by preparing the corresponding "○○ Pay". The advantage of "○○ Pay" is that there are many individual stores that handle it even if it is not a point card member store. [Failure story / Let's prepare the app in front of the cash register so as not to be sluggish] One of the major drawbacks of the app is that it starts slowly. In addition, some troubles may occur, such as the advertisement being displayed, the log out without knowing it, and the need to re-enter the ID and password. If you launch the app after it's your turn, you'll get stuck, so get in the habit of checking the app before lining up at the cash register or in the queue. ■ Rakuten points ・ Although it is a great deal, it is difficult to manage Rakuten points, which are often said to be the largest points at present, but there are many limited time periods and strategic poi activities are required. [Accumulating mail orders in Rakuten Ichiba] Rakuten points can be accumulated more and more by making mail orders into Rakuten Ichiba and by consolidating and using Rakuten-related services. If you achieve "10 times the points (1% becomes 10%)" in the super sale, you will get 1,000 yen worth of points for every 10,000 yen you buy. [Many points for a limited time! Use more and more] Rakuten's "Points 〇 times" are limited-time points with an expiration date of 1 to 2 months, except for the first 1% (normal points). In order not to expire this, be conscious of spending points anyway. [Exit strategy / Pay points at convenience stores and restaurants] Rakuten points can of course be used for shopping at Rakuten Ichiba, but they can also be used at convenience stores and restaurants. It is a good idea to spend more and more points for a limited time by shopping, eating and drinking at a low price of several hundred yen. ■ d POINTs ・ All points have a 4-year deadline. For d POINTs, the deadline for earned points is set to 48 months. If you check the expiration date of d POINT with an app etc., you can check the expiration date and balance for each month. [Let's think about whether d POINTs can be used for 4 years and can be saved] If the d POINTs are used for 4 years, isn't it? It may seem like this, but people who don't use it often carry the risk of revocation, and it is mentally pressure to always be aware of revocation. People who cannot spend d points in their daily lives may choose not to have d points. [Easy to collect and use if your mobile phone is docomo] d POINTs are originally docomo points, and if your mobile phone is docomo, they can be easily accumulated. For this reason, docomo users should focus on d POINT. You can also pay your monthly mobile phone charges with d POINTs. [Exit strategy / Exchange for Lawson trial voucher] If you swipe a point card (the app cannot be used) through Lawson's Loppi, you can exchange it for a "trial voucher" that you can get the product at about half the list price. However, this technique has become so popular that it is causing new stress such as the voucher expiring soon. It is easier to use for payment at store cashiers such as Lawson. ■ Ponta points ・ Simple but solid points Ponta points are not flashy, but they are easy to manage because there are no limited-time points like Rakuten and d points. In addition, you will receive various campaign points from affiliated recruits, but you can ignore services that you are not interested in. [The expiration date of Ponta points will be extended] The expiration date of Ponta points is set to "one year after the last acquisition and use". If you use it on a daily basis, the deadline will continue to be extended semi-permanently. [Although it can be used for monthly payments for au, it is a little inconvenient] Ponta points are affiliated with au, a mobile phone, as a counter to d points. It can also be used for monthly payments for au, but it is a little troublesome to apply for payment for 6 months each time, and it is difficult to automate the exit. [Exit strategy ・ It is OK to save a large amount and use it all at once] Ponta points can be exchanged for Lawson trial vouchers in the same way as d points. However, there is no need to worry about the deadline, so you can save thousands to tens of thousands of points and use them all at once. ■ T Point ・ T Point, which has been overtaken by other companies but is still active, is a long-established point card that has been in operation since 1983. On the other hand, it is famous, but it is being pushed by the aggressive campaign of the competition and is behind the scenes. ["Easy to save" lags behind other companies] The competition has long been 1 point (1%) for every 100 yen, while the T point is 200 yen, which is 1 point (0.5%). It lags behind other companies in terms of ease of storage. However, the setting of 1% has been fluctuating recently, and the competition is in line with the T point. [Exchange your credit card points for T points] T points are not easy to save as a compliment, but if your credit card points can be exchanged for T points, you can exchange T points from your daily payments. Can be produced. [Exit strategy-Used on the 20th of every month in Welcia] It is a famous poi activity called "Well activity". On the 20th of every month, Welcia runs a campaign to convert T point payments to 1.5 times. For example, you can pay 1500 yen worth of shopping with 1000 points. At present, the exit strategy of T point can be said to be an option for well activities. Welcia has a protein bar made by its parent company, Aeon (other companies sell products for nearly 150 yen for 100 yen), so I often buy them at Welcia. The Welcia Group will continue to be able to use T points, but for some services such as Yahoo! Shopping, T points will no longer be granted or used on Thursday, March 31, 2022. Be careful of those who are active at T points, mainly for Yahoo services. ■ Summary ・ If you learn how to use Poi-Katsu, it will become more and more fun. We talked about how to use points and exit strategies. It's hard to find fun just by accumulating poi activities indiscriminately. It will be more and more fun if you can actually use it and feel that you have gained it! Please try. Sentence: Sage (@ sage01211) Cartoon: Yadokarikodayo (@yadokarikodayo)
