How Many Points Do You Get? [Quick Table]
| Eligible plan | Reward | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Rakuten Saikyo Plan | MNP 14,000pt / New 11,000pt | Unlimited voice + data base plan |
| Rakuten Saikyo U-NEXT | MNP 14,000pt / New 11,000pt | Added October 2025 |
| Saikyo Plan (Data Type) | — | New sign-ups suspended since Mar 5, 2026 |
| Rakuten Turbo | 7,000pt | No-construction home router · once per person |
Points are granted as time-limited points, split over 3 months starting 4 months after your referral login month (valid for 6 months from the grant date).
How It Beats the Regular Referral Program
Rakuten Mobile has two referral schemes: the regular user referral (code 1784) and this page’s employee referral (code 2162). The employee referral wins on both amount and eligibility.
| This page (employee referral, 2162) | Regular referral (1784) | |
|---|---|---|
| Switching (MNP) | 14,000pt | Up to 13,000pt |
| New line | 11,000pt | 10,000pt |
| 2nd line / re-signing | Eligible | Not eligible (first-timers only) |
| Data Type / Turbo | Eligible | Not eligible |
| Times you can use it | Up to 5 per person | Once per person |
The biggest difference: even if you cancelled Rakuten Mobile in the past or want a second line for family, you still get the points.
What about the 20,000-point campaign?
Rakuten occasionally runs a “20,000 points for first-time sign-up” campaign for Rakuten Card holders. If you apply through that campaign page, it automatically takes priority, so logging in via the referral link never costs you anything. Rule of thumb: first-timers take the 20,000pt campaign when it’s running; second lines and returning customers should use this referral.
How to Join — 4 Steps

Log in with your Rakuten ID via the referral link
Open the button below (referral URL) and log in with your Rakuten ID — registration done. Forgot to log in first? You can still qualify by logging in within 7 days of applying (inclusive).
Critical: applying without the referral login = not eligibleApply for Rakuten Mobile
Apply for Rakuten Saikyo Plan, Saikyo U-NEXT, or Rakuten Turbo — online or at a Rakuten Mobile shop. New lines, MNP, and migrations from docomo/au-network legacy plans all qualify.
Activate your plan
Activating your SIM/eSIM (or receiving your device) counts as starting the plan.
Deadline: 23:59 on the last day of the second month after your referral loginMake a 10-second call on Rakuten Link
Place an outgoing call from the free Rakuten Link app and talk for 10+ seconds — landlines are fine. For applications from March 2, 2026 onward, the Link condition is mandatory.
Same deadline / calls to 0570 & 188 do not countWhen Do the Points Arrive?
Counting from your referral-login month, points arrive around the end of months 4, 5, and 6, in three parts.
| Example: referral login in July | Amount (MNP case) |
|---|---|
| Late November (1st) | 4,000pt |
| Late December (2nd) | 5,000pt |
| Late January (3rd) | 5,000pt |
These are time-limited points (valid 6 months) — spend them on Rakuten Ichiba, Rakuten Pay, or your Rakuten Mobile bill. Pairing them with our Rakuten Marathon guide makes them easy to use up.
7 Pitfalls That Disqualify You
- Applying without the referral login — you can rescue it by logging in within 7 days of applying; 8+ days means permanently ineligible.
- Buying a Wi-Fi router together with your plan application — excluded due to legal caps. Want home internet? Consider Rakuten Turbo instead.
- Skipping the Rakuten Link call — it must be an outgoing call from the Rakuten Link app, 10+ seconds. Calls to 0570 (navi-dial) and 188 don’t count.
- Different Rakuten IDs — the ID used for the referral login and the application must match.
- Missing the activation deadline — delivery delays are not excused; apply early.
- Repeated short-term cancellations — flagged as point farming; you may be disqualified or have points clawed back.
- Letting time-limited points expire — they vanish 6 months after each grant; put the grant months in your calendar.

Bottom Line: Rakuten Mobile Is Cheap Even Without the Points
The Rakuten Saikyo Plan gives you unlimited data for ¥3,278/month (tax incl.), automatically dropping to ¥1,078 in light-usage months, with free domestic calls via Rakuten Link. The savings stand on their own — the 14,000 points are the cherry on top.
