Rakuten Mobile allows you to pay your mobile phone bills with Rakuten Points. Below is my payment history from November 2024 to February 2025.
As you can see, the mobile phone bill is essentially free because I pay with the Rakuten points I earn from shopping. Now, I'll show you how to earn enough Rakuten points to cover the unlimited data plan fee of 3,287 yen/month.
Take advantage of the Rakuten Super Point Up Program!
The Rakuten Super Point Up Program is a program that increases the Rakuten point redemption rate when shopping on Rakuten Ichiba . By using various Rakuten Group services, the point multiplier is added, and the point redemption rate can be up to 10 times or more.
