A campaign that gives you 100 points just for checking Rakuten Mobile's fee simulator

Good morning. まさきん here.

My household has been gradually moving our family’s lines over to Rakuten Mobile. My wife’s line was the one still left with another carrier.

While looking into that, I came across an interesting campaign. You get points just for checking your result on a fee simulator. I tried it out with my wife’s line, so here’s a summary of how it works.

What kind of campaign is this

It’s called “Get 100 points just by checking your phone bill.” True to the name, just checking the result is enough to qualify.

It’s aimed at Rakuten members who are using a carrier other than Rakuten Mobile. Subscribers to the Rakuten Saikyo Plan or Rakuten Saikyo U-NEXT plan aren’t eligible. In our case, my wife’s line fits perfectly.

You get 100 points. They’re time-limited points, usable for 6 months after being granted. Points seem to arrive around the end of the second month after you meet the conditions. They don’t show up right away, so it’s best to wait patiently.

There’s also a one-time-per-person limit. Anyone who already received this perk on or after February 1, 2024 isn’t eligible.

The simulation takes 3 steps

The steps themselves were simple. First, open the fee simulation page.

Select your current carrier. Then choose your data usage. There were two ways to pick this: by data amount, or by how often you use it. Finally, select whether you’re using a family discount.

Once you get through that, your result shows up. Checking the result via the pink button seems to be what counts as meeting the condition.

What it was actually like to try

I checked the contract details with my wife and operated it on her behalf. Everything was multiple choice, so there was nothing to hesitate over. I don’t think it took even a minute to get the result.

Seeing the actual amount was, honestly, hard to shrug off. It could be a good nudge to consider switching carriers.

Say it comes out 2,000 yen cheaper per month. Over a year, that’s a 24,000 yen difference. Add it up, and it’s quite a bit.

If you’ve been curious about how your current carrier’s pricing compares, this seems especially worth trying. It could also work well if you want to review multiple family lines at once.

Things worth checking before applying

That said, there were a few things to watch out for.

You apparently need to check your result through the button on the official page. Accessing it through a different entry point seems to make you ineligible.

Timing your cancellation matters too. Leaving Rakuten before the points are granted apparently disqualifies you.

Any breach of the terms also disqualifies you, according to the fine print.

There’s also a quiz-only entry point

I found another, similar campaign. It’s the answer-a-quiz-for-100-points campaign.

This one just needs you to answer a single true/false quiz question about rate plans. It feels even more effortless than the simulator.

The eligibility conditions were almost the same as the simulator version. It’s aimed at Rakuten members who aren’t using Rakuten Mobile. The one-time-per-person limit is shared too.

The points you get are the same 100 points. They’re granted around the end of the second month after you complete your answer.

Still, it takes less effort than the simulator. Trying the quiz first might be a good place to start.

Wrap-up

This campaign was a light one: just check your result, and you get 100 points. It doesn’t take much effort, so if you have a family member using another carrier, it might be worth trying.

Conditions and the campaign period may change going forward, so please check the official site for the latest details before applying.

Seeing the simulation result might make some of you curious about switching. In our house too, we’ve been talking about getting my wife’s line switched over soon. I’ve also organized the things worth checking before switching in 4 points to check before switching to Rakuten Mobile.
