ーEarn points and make payments at the same time by showing your smartphoneー

T Point Japan Co., Ltd. (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and COO: Kazuhiko Kitamura) will begin accepting "Mobile T-CARD," which allows users to use their smartphone instead of a T-CARD, at FamilyMart, Welcia, Aoyama Clothing, and other convenience stores nationwide from August 15, 2017. As a result, the number of stores that accept Mobile T-CARD will increase from 4,949 stores, including TSUTAYA and Gusto, to 25,328 stores, approximately five times the previous number.

As much of our communication is now being shifted to smartphones, T Point Japan is pursuing a mobile shift strategy to provide services that suit our customers' lifestyles by making all of T-CARD's functions and services, including the shared points service "T-POINT," the electronic money service "T-MONEY," T-CARD shopping history, and T-CARD coupons, compatible with smartphones.

This initiative is part of the mobile shift strategy, and aims to expand the "Mobile T-CARD" service to convenience stores, drugstores, and fashion specialty stores that are frequently used in daily life.

T-CARD users can simply install the "Mobile T-CARD" compatible app (seven types in total) on their smartphones, complete the application process, and present the barcode at stores such as FamilyMart, Welcia, and Aoyama Clothing to earn and use T-POINT. Additionally, at FamilyMart and Welcia convenience stores that accept the electronic money "T-MONEY," payments can also be made using T-MONEY, allowing users to use the functions and services of the T-CARD with just one smartphone.

In addition, to commemorate the expansion of the Mobile T-CARD service, we will be running a campaign from August 22nd to September 11th where you can win T-POINT by using the Mobile T-CARD.

T Point Japan will continue to consolidate all customer touchpoints onto smartphones, aiming to propose new lifestyles to its more than 60 million customers across Japan.
