Good morning. It’s まさきん.
On Rakuten Mobile’s official account, I came across a campaign that gives up to 50% points back on your Hulu fee. It’s an entertainment add-on, so I want to lay out the conditions.
I rechecked the official page on October 2, 2026. The campaign is still running, and the deadline to apply is Saturday, October 31, 2026 at 23:59.
How it works
To qualify, you need to be on an eligible Rakuten Mobile plan. Hulu is offered as an add-on option to that plan.
If it’s your first time signing up for Hulu through Rakuten Mobile, you get a free trial for the first month. It looks like this applies even if you’ve used Hulu before.
The reward is 50% points back on the monthly fee for up to 3 months. You need to apply by Saturday, October 31, 2026 at 23:59.
Points are said to arrive around the end of the second month after the month the fee is charged. They’re limited-time points that expire 6 months after they’re issued.
From the 5th month onward, you keep getting 20% points back on the monthly fee indefinitely. So it’s not just a short-term perk. The rewards keep coming if you stick with it long term.
Hulu costs 1,026 yen a month and gives you unlimited access to dramas, anime, movies, and variety shows.
If you don’t have Rakuten Mobile yet, you can sign up through my referral. If you switch over and keep your current phone number, you’ll get up to 14,000 points.
Clicking this opens the Rakuten login page. Once you log in, you’ll see the campaign details.
The parts I found a bit confusing
First, if you subscribed in the past and have since canceled, you need to have had no usage in the previous month. If you were using it up until last month, it seems you won’t qualify for the free first month.
If you cancel partway through a month, you’re still billed the full monthly fee. It’s worth timing your cancellation carefully.
Also note that you won’t qualify if you have any unpaid or overdue bills. People under 18 can’t sign up either.
Things to check before you apply
First, make sure you are on an eligible Rakuten Mobile plan. It is also good to remember that whether you get the free first month depends on whether this is your first sign-up or you have subscribed before. And do not forget the October 31 application deadline.
Our household currently uses a different streaming service. Still, looking at the reward rate alone, those numbers caught my eye.
Summary
The Rakuten Mobile Hulu campaign gives 50% points back for up to 3 months on the monthly fee, then 20% points back from the 5th month onward. The deadline to apply is October 31.
Conditions and reward rates may change. If you’re thinking about signing up, be sure to check the official site.
Rethinking how you use streaming services might be a quietly worthwhile topic for your household budget. If you switch to Rakuten Mobile, you’ll get up to 14,000 points. If you haven’t switched yet, take a look at this too.
