Post subject:  KT's point system

Wasn't their point system, 1 point for every 100 yen spent, and each point equals 6 yen?, Because now it's, 1 point for every 100 yen spent and each point equals 1 yen. I think I lost alot here :x

I noticed the same thing and posted a coupla times about it.

First, I think it is and always was 1 point earned for each 100 yen spent, not for each 1000 - 1% is hardly worth the bother, but a 0.1% rebate would be truly silly.

For spending the points, it was 1 point = 1 yen for a long time before it suddenly became 6, then it went back to 1 again. I only saw it shown at 6 one time (2-3 weeks ago?), so perhaps that was a typo or some kind of temporary points 'sale'?

I did write and ask, and they confirmed it's currently only one point though, not six. Given translation issues, I did not try to find out the history of the 'changes,' though I'd sure like to know. 6% rebate v. 1% is a big difference.

PS - I'm also not sure how the '6 months points expiration' rule works - If you earn 100 points every month, do January's points expire after 6 months, or do your points only expire all-at-once if you let 6 months pass without making ANY purchase? Since their system does seem to always show your 'last purchase date,' I assume it's the latter, and that so long as you make at least one buy every 6 months, your points will never expire. But, it's not very clear - I wrote Taro to ask about this, and will post the reply if I get one.

The reason I brought this up was I used part of my points on my last order, about a month ago and it covered my shipping. maybe it was a fluke, but just seemed weird.

I always just use my points, from order to order, so it has never been an issue for me.

Check your profile page. Your current total is towards the bottom of the page. They expire six months after you earn them so it's a good idea to just plug 'em in now and then, if you order frequently. Sometimes they end up paying for shipping.

Have you confirmed this? I suspect they only expire after 6 months of no K-T purchases, not 6 months after you earn them. (At least, my over-6+month old ones never vanished).
