just trying to get these 20,000yen pts for myself and kids before the campaign ends and am using paypay..
looks like i have to charge the kids paypay with 20,000yen each to get the last 5,000yen..
dont really want to do this so was wondering:!
is there a way round this?
do the free points (15,000yen) they get count towards the 20,000yen pts if they charge it or not?
or can charged pts be transferred to a different paypay afterwards?(ie put in child acct then after charging to activate the 5000yen bonus pts,transfer the 20,000yen back to my paypay?
any ideas?
thanks
Campaign 1 - Spend 2man in yen get 5000 points
Campaign 2 - Sign-up for health insurance/nekin deposit - Get 15,000 points
That is just how campaign 1 was setup. It is best to use a form of payment you currently use.
Why not a credit card?

You need to charge it because this program is technically a points earning program (its nonsense but it's how they framed it. earn 25% points back for charging/using!)
You can definitely transfer the Paypay credit from your kids' accounts to your account after getting the points. I assume you can even do it before but I'd just wait it out just in case.

You cannot. Points cannot be transferred in Paypay only yen amounts.

I meant the initial 20,000 yen charge, not the points.

No, you just have to charge 20,000 yen into the app. I believe you can then withdraw the money again once you get the points (instant for me on Paypay) or just spend the money as usual.

thanks all-so i could charge their accounts and then transfer the money back to my paypal acct after its been charged?
also,regarding the question about why not use a credit card-you dont get extra paypal pts that way do you?

You need to
SPEND that ２万 to get those 5000 points, not simply deposit the funds.
Not sure that is true. I got the points immediately when I deposited the 20,000 yen into Paypay via ATM. The cash is still there (although I spent just over 1,000 yen of it the other day).
