Linked loyalty cards is a pilot programme offered by Google Wallet and available in Japan for select loyalty providers.

Google currently supports:

• Have a Google Account. Check how to create a Google Account

  • If you don't already have a d POINT Card, follow the instructions from the Docomo website to create one
• Ensure your search preferences have been set to results in region Japan and language Japanese. You may need to turn off your adblocker.

Why do I see 2 different types of d POINT cards in my Google Wallet app?

• There is a d POINT card for online only, which may help you get more accurate point estimation when you shop online. Thus there is no barcode and card number for the online only card in Google Wallet app. This d Point card was added from Shopping or Google Wallet website.
• There is also a d POINT card you added from Wallet app and can be used for offline, in-store use. So on that card you can see a barcode and card number in the Google Wallet app. But you will not be eligible to see more accurate points you can earn in your shopping results and can not see it in Google Wallet website.
