PayPay ecosystem gold card · PayPay Card · Credit cards

English support: No

An ¥11,000 gold card that, from June 2, 2026, awards 11,000 annual PayPay Points after ¥1,000,000 of qualifying spend — offsetting the fee at that threshold — plus LYP Premium, lounges and free ETC.

Highlights

  • 11,000 annual points after ¥1M offsets the fee
  • LYP Premium and airport lounges
  • Free ETC card
Things to consider
  • Missing the ¥1M threshold sharply reduces value
  • Spending exclusions and the membership year matter

Fees: ¥11,000 annual fee, effectively offset by 11,000 points at exactly ¥1,000,000 of qualifying annual spend.
