Comment

If you like shopping at Takashimaya then this is probably something you'll find very worthwhile as the 10% can add up fast with the kind of products they sell. Not being able to use it with non-Takashimaya credit cards is somewhat inconvenient, but if you shop at Takashimaya enough you'll probably want their credit card, and if it's just an occasional visit then then it's reasonable to just bring cash. If you're a big spender then you'll probably want to go for the 500 share tier.
