The service will be launched on September 12, 2018, for payments starting on September 27, 2018.

With the Rakuten Card Payment with Points, by applying through the Rakuten e-NAVI page, Rakuten Card cardholders can use from 50 to a maximum of 500,000 Rakuten Super Points in the payment of their Rakuten Card bills. After application, the amount of Rakuten Super Points used will reflected on the Rakuten e-NAVI page in real time, allowing the cardholder to confirm the accurate amount of the bill straight away.
