[Rakuten Marathon Strategy] You'll regret it if you don't know this 😳 5 tips to maximize points when shopping around 💡
Good evening 🌙
Everyone 🥹
Are you participating in the Rakuten Marathon? 🏃♀️💨
It's held almost every month, but actually, by just being a little clever with 'how you shop,' your point returns can change significantly ✨️
In this article, I've summarized 5 tips that I, with 8 years of experience on ROOM, use to avoid losing out ✨
I think there might be some things you 'didn't know about,' so please take a look!
✅ 1. First, check the maximum benefit limit with the 'Point Simulator'!
Rakuten has a convenient tool called the [Point Simulator].
If you check 'how much you'll get in points for how much you spend' in advance here, you won't end up making unnecessary purchases ◎
Actually, shopping around only gives you point increases for 'up to 10 stores,' so buying from 11 or more stores doesn't mean anything 🥲
If you use this tool, you can see at a glance 'at how many stores you should stop' and 'up to how much you should spend to get the best deal'!

✅ 2. Shop efficiently with '1,000 yen flat-rate items'
The condition for shopping around is 1,000 yen or more including tax. Free shipping & food items are the best targets 👀
➤ I've also summarized recommended items on my ROOM 🌼
✅ 3. Aim to shop on days ending in 5 and 0
If you use a Rakuten Card, you get **+2x** on the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, and 30th. It's most powerful when combined with coupons 💪
✅ 4. Get coupons 'in advance'
There are hidden coupons not found on product pages, so the coupon special feature page is a must-see ✨️
By combining multiple coupons, you can sometimes get more than half off 🎯
✅ 5. Aiming for '+3 to 4x' without overdoing it is just right for SPU (Super Point Up) 🥹
Rakuten has a system called 'SPU (Super Point Up Program).'
This means that by using Rakuten's target services, your point multiplier when shopping increases steadily.
For example...
[An example of Rakuten SPU]
・Rakuten Card → +2x when used at Rakuten Ichiba
・Rakuten Mobile → +1x if you have a contract
・Rakuten Books → +0.5x for purchases of 1,000 yen or more
・Rakuten Kobo → +0.5x for purchases of 1,000 yen or more
If you make good use of these, you can easily achieve +3 to 4x 🥰
With just this, for example, if you spend 10,000 yen, you'll get +300 to 400 points ✨
⚠️ However, be careful ⚠️
Saying 'I want to raise my SPU' and...
・Forcing yourself to switch to Rakuten Mobile 📱
・Getting anxious trying to meet the conditions for Rakuten Securities or Rakuten Bank 💦
is counterproductive 🥲🥲
The basic rule for SPU is to use it within a 'range that you can incorporate into your life without strain' ◎
If you try to force your multiplier up with services you don't use, you'll end up losing money instead.
✅ Summary
If you make the most of the shopping spree, it's like getting a 20-30% discount on everything 😍
With just a few simple tricks, a 'regular sale' becomes an 'unbeatable opportunity' 🔥
By the way, this highly recommended salmon is also 50% off 🐟🐟
It's boneless, so my kids find it easy to eat and are thrilled 🥹
I'm not great at removing bones either... 🫣

Everyone, please enjoy your shopping during the marathon 🏃♂️
Thank you so much for reading until the end ✨️
