Its standout feature is Saison Permanent Points (永久不滅ポイント), which do not expire, a rarity among Japanese programs and helpful for anyone who accumulates slowly. It adds Saison campaigns, travel, and partner benefits, and supports mobile wallets. As always, check the current insurance guide before valuing the travel benefits, and do not pay a fee for perks you will not use.
