Comment
Obviously this will be mostly useless unless you live in or near Kanazawa or Toyama, but if you do live in the area then you'll probably be able to make use of it, especially since there's far less competition for high-end department stores compared to some other cities. The upper discount limit restriction will probably not be too much of a hinderance for most people, and I assume that if it was, you'll have no problem buying additional shares to get around it.
