And every time I went to the cashier they told me this is the first time they have seen this card. Some even had to call their office to check how to handle this Not sure what's going to happen if it's just a small store with no office to call

Until this become more well known, this will continue to be a hassle.
Agreed, japanese love to do things by the book.

Finally got mine but it was a hassle. Took forever and needed a copy of everything.
