Instructions for registering and buying Japanese goods online via Point-site
Hello everyone, in the article “Earn extra income from the Point site when buying Japanese goods online!!!” Surely you already understand what a Point site is, why do you get more benefits when buying and using services through a Point site? To continue the series of articles on the same topic, I would like to share in this article, how to register and use the service at the Point site. I would like to give an example with the site that I am currently using, Hapitas
1.Conditions for registering to use a Point site
To register as a member of Point-site is very simple, you need to have:
- Email address: Momiji recommends that readers create a new email address. You can use Gmail and Yahoo mail. The reason is that these Point sites often send promotional emails, so they will make your inbox cluttered.
- Phone number: Required when logging in or redeeming points. Each time, the web will send a confirmation code to your phone number. Therefore, you need to register the correct phone number to avoid the hassle of exchanging points for cash or other payment cards…
- Bank account: If you want to exchange points for cash, you need to register a bank account number. If you only need to exchange points for an amazon gift, JAL/ANA mile, or other loyalty cards, it is not necessary.
- Credit card: You need a credit card when paying for purchases. If you use postpaid service, or pay on pickup (代引き- Daibiki) will not receive points.
In addition, Point-sites may limit the age of members. For example, Hapitas requires members to be over 12 years old.
