FamiPay for Foreigners in Japan: How to Register, Charge & Save

Always on

Foreigners can register FamiPay with a phone number, but credit-card top-ups only work with JCB-brand cards, so most Visa and Mastercard holders charge with cash at the register. Since August 2025, JCB cards other than the Famima Card are capped at ¥20,000 per month for charging, while linking dPoint, Rakuten Point or V-Point brings the base rate to 1.5%. FamiPay is one of the most cost-effective convenience store payment methods in Japan. By strategically combining charging methods, coupons, and point systems, you can achieve over 13% cashback. This guide covers everything you need to maximize FamiPay’s value: charging techniques, POSA card purchase strategies, free coupon acquisition, and comparisons with other payment methods. Quick answer for foreigners Yes — foreigners can use FamiPay (FamilyMart’s QR payment app). Sign up in the app with a phone number.

JRE POINT for Foreigners: Earn Points with Suica in Japan

Always on

JRE POINT only accrues once you register your Suica in a JRE POINT account — until then the earn rate is 0%. Mobile Suica earns 1 point per ¥50 versus 1 per ¥200 on a plastic card, so a ¥20,000 monthly commute yields about 4,800 points a year instead of 1,200. Points redeem at 1 point = ¥1. 💡 Key Takeaway: JRE POINT is JR East’s unified loyalty program with a basic value of 1 point = 1 yen. However, by using Shinkansen reward tickets or “Dokokani Byuuun!”, you can boost the value to 2-6 yen per point! Save tens of thousands of yen annually on transportation and shopping—an essential money-saving tool for life in Japan. If you live in the Kanto area, commute by JR daily, shop at station buildings on weekends, and occasionally travel by Shinkansen, you’re missing out if you’re not making full use of
