An ¥11,000 Rakuten card with a 1% base, published limit up to ¥3,000,000 and Priority Pass — whose value must be judged under current visit limits rather than older unlimited-use assumptions.

Highlights

  • Priority Pass under current visit rules
  • 1% base with Rakuten Market bonuses
  • Published limit up to ¥3,000,000
Things to consider
  • Priority Pass visits are now capped, not unlimited
  • Carrying a revolving balance overwhelms rewards

Fees: ¥11,000 annual fee; judge Priority Pass value under current visit limits.
