500 points for everyone. Every SST account has just received 500 points (= ¥500) as a welcome gift, and every order you place earns points back — each item’s base points rate times your rank multiplier, up to ×4. One tap at checkout spends them. No codes, no forms.
The short version: Samurai Points is our new loyalty program, live as of today. Every registered customer account — everyone who had an account on launch day, and everyone who creates one from now on — gets 500 welcome points (= ¥500). On top of that, every order earns points back: each item has a base points rate from 0.1% to 0.5%, shown on its product page, and your rank multiplies it by ×1 to ×4. Points are confirmed as soon as your payment is confirmed. 1 point is always worth ¥1, and you can spend points on any order — up to 20% of the order total per order, with no minimum. Points are valid for 30 days from the day you earn them — your Points page always shows the exact expiry date of every batch, welcome points included.
500 Points for Everyone
To launch the program we have credited 500 points (= ¥500) to every single customer account that existed on launch day. There is nothing to activate and nothing to claim — the points are already sitting in your account. Sign in and open your Points page to see them.
Creating your account today or later? You still get the same deal: every new account receives 500 welcome points automatically the moment it is registered. If you have been ordering as a guest, this is the moment an account starts paying for itself.
How Samurai Points Works
We built Samurai Points around one idea: it should feel like money, not like a puzzle. Every point is worth exactly ¥1, everywhere, always. Here is the whole system in one table:
| What | How it works |
|---|---|
| Earning | Every item earns its base points rate (0.1% to 0.5%) on its discounted price (after any sale or coupon discounts, excluding shipping), multiplied by your rank — ×1 up to ×4. Points are confirmed as soon as your payment is confirmed and appear in your balance right away. |
| Value | 1 point = ¥1. No conversion tables. Your balance is always shown with its yen value next to it. |
| Spending | One tap. At checkout you will see a Use points toggle — flip it and your available points are applied instantly. No codes to type, no minimum spend. |
| Coverage | Points can cover up to 20% of your order total per order (the total includes shipping). The toggle always shows the exact yen discount before you pay. |
| Kortingscodes | Points stack with coupons. The coupon is applied first, then points cover whatever is left. |
| Validity | Points are valid for 30 days from the day you earn them. Each batch keeps its own 30-day clock, and when you spend points the oldest ones are used first. |
Points Multiplier by Rank
Samurai Points plugs straight into the SST rank program. Your rank — shown in your account — sets the multiplier applied to every item’s base points rate:
| Rang | Vermenigvuldiger | Points on a ¥100,000 item at the 0.5% base rate |
|---|---|---|
| Member / Regular | ×1 | 500 pts (= ¥500) |
| Copper | ×1.5 | 750 pts (= ¥750) |
| Silver | ×2 | 1,000 pts (= ¥1,000) |
| Gold | ×3 | 1,500 pts (= ¥1,500) |
| Platinum en hoger | ×4 | 2,000 pts (= ¥2,000) |
Points are worked out item by item on the discounted price (shipping excluded). An item with a lower base rate earns proportionally less — for example 0.1% × 4 = 0.4% at Platinum. Each order’s total rounds down to whole points. Your current rank and progress are visible in your account.
Point Validity: 30 Days, Oldest First
The rule is simple and worth repeating, because it is the one thing you should plan around: points are valid for 30 days from the day you earn them.
- Every batch has its own clock. Points you earn on August 10 are valid through September 9; points you earn on August 20 are valid through September 19. Earning new points does not change the deadline of the points you already have.
- Oldest points are spent first. When you redeem, we automatically use the points closest to expiry, so nothing is wasted by accident.
- No extensions. When a batch reaches its 30th day, it expires — so the best strategy is simply to use your points on your next order.
- We will remind you. Before any points expire, we email you a heads-up — 7 days, 3 days, and 24 hours ahead — with the exact amount and date.
- Your full schedule is always visible. The Points page shows exactly how many points expire on which day.
How To Use Your Points in 3 Steps
Quick FAQ
Do my points expire?
Yes — points are valid for 30 days from the day you earn them. Each batch has its own 30-day deadline, and earning new points does not extend older ones. When you spend points, the oldest are used first, and we email you 7 days, 3 days, and 24 hours before anything expires. Your 500 welcome points follow the same rule — the exact date is on your Points page.
Can I use points together with coupons and sale prices?
Yes. Sale prices and coupons are applied first, and your points then apply on top — up to 20% of the order total. There is no minimum.
Do guest orders earn points?
Points need an account — guest orders do not earn them. Creating an account is free, takes a minute, and comes with 500 welcome points, so if you have been checking out as a guest, this is the day to switch.
