Visa Cashback Campaign Launching in Osaka

Starting on July 2, 2025, a brand-new cash back campaign will be rolled out in Osaka, exclusively for Visa cardholders. Known as the "Osaka Limited Visa Touch Payment Cashback Campaign Phase 7", this initiative aims to promote cashless transactions and stimulate the regional economy. The campaign will run until August 29, 2025, enabling users to enjoy exciting benefits at various participating merchants.

How It Works

Participants are required to register their Visa card numbers on the campaign's dedicated webpage, accessible through the Visa website. By using the registered card for touch payments at participating merchants during the campaign period, users can receive a 30% cash back on their purchases. The cash back limit for each Visa card is capped at 1,500 yen throughout the campaign.

Cashback Categories

The campaign is divided into two distinct categories: Campaign A and Campaign B.

• - Campaign A: This category includes many popular establishments such as Akakabe, Vieux de France, Tomcat Bakery, and various stores across locations like downtown Osaka and shopping centers. Users can utilize a Visa touch payment-enabled card or compatible smart devices such as smartphones and wearables for cashback.

• - Campaign B: Different from Campaign A, this category includes attractions like the Abeno Harukas Art Museum and educational facilities like DCM. This category allows users to earn cash back by utilizing smart devices rather than physical cards.

The Bigger Picture

This campaign is a part of a larger initiative by Visa to enhance regional economic vitality through cashless solutions, labeled the "Osaka Area Promotion Project". This long-term strategy aims at increasing the adoption of Visa's touch payment technology by both residents and visitors. By facilitating a variety of merchants across different sectors, Visa is trying to reach a broader audience who may not be familiar with contactless payment methods.

Visa's touch payment system is globally recognized for its security and has expanded its reach in various settings, making day-to-day transactions faster and safer than ever. As of now, Visa cards available in Japan, irrespective of being credit, debit, or prepaid, are qualified for the campaign, encouraging both existing and new users to experience the convenience of cashless payments.
