For JRE points, you need to present the JRE card/barcode to earn points. But it seems that you get Wester Points simply by paying ICOCA at some limited stores: https://www.jr-odekake.net/icoca/guide/money/store.html

Unrelated to Wester Points, I’m having trouble creating a new ICOCA card in Apple Pay using Ink Preferred. Getting the same “Payment Incomplete” error as when topping up a Suica with an oversea Visa.
