- Comparing a Japanese card to US cards is comparing apples to oranges. If the OP had access to credit cards in both countries this may be a viable comparison, however in my limited experience, rewards on cards in many other countries are much poorer than in the US. Compared to other Japanese cards, this may be a good value.
to add to this, not knowing what other options are available in japan, if the equivalent deal was offered here (continental europe), it would be considered a very good deal.
