Japan’s Aplus card now lets users turn points into XRP, BTC, and ETH
The post Japan’s Aplus card now lets users turn points into XRP, BTC, and ETH appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aplus cardholders in Japan just got a new way to use their points: by swapping them for crypto. Starting this week, Aplus customers can now convert their reward points into XRP, Bitcoin, or Ether, according to information from the company’s updated loyalty program. That makes Aplus the first major rewards system in the country to offer direct crypto redemptions instead of just the usual cash, merchandise, or airline miles. The new option lets users trade in 2,100 points for over 2,000 yen worth of crypto, roughly $13–$15 USD, depending on the exchange rate. Basically, the program connects daily spending directly to crypto ownership, without requiring people to invest out of pocket. Users don’t need any technical background either, just points and an account with SBI VC Trade or access to the Aplus portal. It’s a small amount, but it turns everyday transactions into a route to XRP, BTC, or ETH, with zero cash upfront. Aplus users earn points from spending and get bonuses for higher usage Every time someone spends 200 yen using an Aplus credit card, they earn one point. Anyone who spends 50,000 yen or more in a single month gets a bonus rate, an extra 0.5% in points. Those points stay active for two years after they’re earned, meaning customers don’t have to rush to redeem them. The crypto integration doesn’t change any of that. It adds one more choice to what people can do with their points. While it might not sound like much, this opens the door for users who’ve never touched crypto before. It doesn’t require them to study blockchain, open a special wallet, or buy crypto directly. They just spend as usual, earn points, and redeem when they’re ready. People can redeem points for XRP, Bitcoin, or Ether by logging in to either…
