Koei Card

Koei Card (コーエーカード) was a unique credit card solely used for purchasing items in GAMECITY or stores that accepted Visa cards. Only individuals who had GAMECITY citizen accounts were able to apply for them with Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS conducting a 5-day review on the information provided before issuing the card one month later.

Initially, one could opt to apply with no annual membership fee required, though this option was removed on September 1, 2009. The membership fee itself was worth ¥1,250 plus tax. As a general rule for would-be credit card owners, minors required the consent of a parent before being able to apply.

For Koei Tecmo customers, the benefits of owning a Koei Card included in-store shopping points accumulated through multiple purchases, additional discounts when pre-ordering new games, automatically payment for items in online titles, and much more. It also gave users other advantages like reservation services for entertainment, discount prices on domestic and overseas packaging, navigating through toll gates without cash, etc.

On August 31, 2019, applications for Koei Cards had ceased with refunds for shopping points being given out.

EPOS Card
On June 7, 2019, Koei Tecmo unveiled their newest line of credit cards via collaboration with EPOS Net. Not only do these cards offer a different set of benefits, they can also be used to gain discounts or gift certificates. Marui mainly accepts the usage of EPOS Cards from customers and even offers ¥2,000 coupons for those who apply for them in their stores.

Another advantage to using these cards is a limited 10% discount that can only be used in one of two ways: the first offer allows the user to benefit from the discount as many times as they want during their first membership month. The second offer enables them to make use of it only during the special benefit period for at least 4 times per year.

Unlike their predecessors, EPOS Cards can only be acquired by people over the age of 18 and above. Also, various reward campaigns were held to incentivize fans into applying for a card of their own. It is also possible to change card designs by paying a modification fee of ¥1,000 plus tax.
