Details

Lounge pass which lets you you enter Aeon Lounges which exist in some malls and shopping centers, and coupons worth 100 yen each and can be used for purchases in increments of 1000 yen, so they're similar to 10% off tickets. The coupons can be used at most Aeon-branded stores including MaxValu and My Basket, but not everything within the group such as Daiei and Maruetsu. The list of stores is here. 

All of the benefits can be used at Aeon stores around the country, not just in Kyushu.

You will get the lounge pass at 100 shares.

Discount coupons:

100 shares - 50 coupons

200 shares - 75 coupons or 3,000 yen gift card

500 shares - 100 coupons or 4,000 yen gift card

1,000 shares - 150 coupons or 5,000 yen gift card

2,000 shares - 200 coupons or 5,000 yen gift card

3,000 shares - 250 coupons

Comment

Although the coupon amounts are quite nice, having to use them in increments of 1000 yen is somewhat annoying, but if you shop at Aeon-branded stores often you'll probably be able to use up the tickets during the year they're valid.  The lounge pass you can also get from investing in  Aeon and Aeon Hokkaido. It's a nice bonus but it shouldn't be your motivation for investing in the stock. The lounges have become much worse post-COVID with many more restrictions on usage, removing the snacks, and even limiting drinks.
