Because the Credit Saison UA MP Visa is only for those with Japanese credit history and for those living in Japan?
The Marukai JCB is one of the select few JCB cards that Americans can get while living in the US. In a world of VISA, MC, Discover and AMEX, having a JCBUSA issued JCB card might be of an interest to some people, I guess.
But IMO, I really don't see JCB cards being that much of a deal unless you happen to shop at either Mitsuwa, Marukai, or other stores that cater to the Japanese expat/Japanese-American community.
