Details

Choose from one of the following:

• Ponta Points

• AU Pay Market gift certificate. You can also just convert Ponta Points to the AU marketplace and get a 50% value increase, so you're probably better off doing that if you want to use the AU Pay Market.

• Relux gift certificate

• Menu gift certificate

• There are also some other options, such as a KidZania or TELASA gift certificate.

Requirements

100 shares.

Held for 1-5 years: 2,000 yen worth.

Held for 5 years or more: 3,000 yen worth.

Comment

Be aware you need to hold the stock for at least a year to get the perks. There's a decent selection of things to exchange for, and Ponta points are accepted at several stores so that's a safe option if the other choices don't interest you.
