To show our appreciation to everyone, we are running a campaign starting September 13th in which one in two people will win a prize.

The number of "active and unique" T-CARD members, provided by Culture Convenience Club Co., Ltd. (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Muneaki Masuda, "CCC" hereinafter), who are active members who have used their T-CARD in the past year and unique members who hold multiple T-CARDs (excluding duplicates), reached 60 million as of the end of September 2016. This means that one in two people in Japan uses a T-CARD. In addition, the total number of T-CARDs issued has reached 190 million, exceeding the total population of Japan.

■ The number of active and unique T members is 60 million, accounting for 80% of the working population
CCC launched "T-POINT" in October 2003, which became the de facto standard for common point services in Japan. The number of members was initially 16.4 million, but over 13 years have passed since the service began, and by the end of September 2016, it had grown to 60 million. T members account for approximately 50% of Japan's total population of 127.08 million*, and approximately 80% of the 76.36 million* people aged between 15 and 64. 　*Source: "Population Estimates" (Statistics Bureau, Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications)

■ 43 million members use the service once a month, and 27 million members use it once a week
T-POINT is a universal point system that can be used in all aspects of daily life, with 560,000 participating stores across both real-world and online locations. As such, 43 million members (approximately 70% of the total) use the system once a month, and 27 million members (approximately 40% of the total) use it once a week.

■ A campaign in which one in two people will win a prize will begin on September 13th
To express our gratitude to everyone who uses T-POINT, we will be launching the "2 people win 1!! Campaign" from September 13th. The campaign will give away up to 6,000 times the T-POINT, 6,000 points, and up to 6,000 yen in T-MONEY.
