Good morning. It’s まさきん.
My kids have been spending more time watching videos, so I was thinking about getting an ad-free plan.
Then I found out that Rakuten Mobile subscribers can try YouTube Premium for free.
Free for 3 months first, then 1,280 yen per month
Let’s check the trial period and the price.
- The free period lasts 3 months
- After the free period ends, it renews automatically at 1,280 yen per month
- Available to subscribers of Rakuten Saikyo Plan and Rakuten Saikyo U-NEXT Plan
- Only for people who have never used YouTube Premium before
If you have had a free trial or a paid subscription before, you apparently are not eligible.
This is a condition that is easy to miss.

Rewards are only for Android
There is one more condition worth checking.
The point rewards are limited to Android users.
If you choose Rakuten Mobile carrier billing, you get up to 2% of the fee back.
That breaks down into 1% for using carrier billing and 1% for paying with a Rakuten Card.
If you use it on an iPhone, you apparently are not eligible for these rewards. If your household mainly uses iPhones, it is probably best not to count on this part.
During the free period the fee itself is 0 yen, so the rewards only start to matter from the 4th month onward.
Summary
If you meet the conditions, you get 3 full months of YouTube Premium for free.
With the combination of Android and carrier billing, the rewards keep coming after that.
Since it is a service we have never used, I think our family will give it a try too.
The campaign details and conditions may change in the future. I recommend checking the latest information on the official website before you sign up.
