Rakuten Points for Pension Payments

[Jura]

I have been paying nenkin payments for my self-employed Japanese spouse and I at the convenience store each month using the paper bills that come in the post.

I just received a letter for the next tax year saying I can pay by card. This will be much more convenient than visiting the post office to pay. If I pay using my Rakuten credit card, will I be able to get Rakuten points? Has anyone done this?

I believe there is a fee associated with this, isn`t there?

You can also pay these in advance for the year and save 2% fyi.

You can pay by Rakuten Card but the point rate is lower - it is only 1 point per 500 yen spend:

You have been able to pay the Japanese state pension for a while by credit card. Unlike taxes or health insurance they don't charge you a 1% commission fee.
