Still, I wonder what's going to happen to the landscape when all of these huge promotions are completed, personally I don't know a single person among my group of friends (and many of them are pretty tech-savvy) who uses these QR code systems. I only use them if the shop has no other kind of credit card/traditional digital payment system available.
The only cashless system I use at the minute is D barai by Docomo because they've got a 20% point back promotion.

After that I'll go back to using the prepaid ID card

Kinda scared because there is absolutely NO security on the app - not even a touch ID check. So technically if someone could get bast the initial touch id check on my stolen phone they could rack up a huge bill just like that.
