Point promotion

In Japan, there are several mass sales stores of home electric appliances. They are selling a lot of electronic gadgets at low prices. Shinjuku is the hottest battle field of those stores. In order to get more customers they are offering so called "point promotion" which is a kind of member service. Once you become the point member and get a point card, you can use the card at purchasing something to get some points. The points have the value equal to cash in the store. For example, if you pay 10,000 yen at the store with the point card, you can get 1,500 points which is equivalent to 1,500 yen. How much percentage you can get depends on the item you buy. This service is very effective to enclosure a lot of customers and I am the very victim of it. Today I went shopping to the store and spent extra money I didn't estimate before.
