Optimizing Point Exchange Routes: PeX / dot money / Real Pay

The basics of exchange routes

Points accumulated on point sites often convert at a higher rate via relay services like PeX / dot money / Real Pay than by exchanging directly to cash / miles. This article lays out how each route works.

Optimizing with PeX

PeX (operated by VOYAGE) is the de facto standard for point relays. You can consolidate from major sites like Hapitas, Gendama, and ECnavi, with 60+ exits including cash, e-money, and miles.

  • 1 PeX = 0.1 yen
  • Hapitas → PeX → cash (50-yen fee) or miles (high conversion rate)
  • Ideal for consolidating small point balances

Where dot money fits

dot money (operated by CyberAgent) shines on "1:1 exchange + free bank-transfer fees." The Moppy → dot money → bank-transfer route achieves effectively zero fees.

Making use of Real Pay

Gendama cash-outs must go through Real Pay. Gendama → Real Pay → various exits (bank / PayPay / Amazon gift, etc.). You can also consolidate points from outside Gendama.

The strongest mile-conversion routes

  • Best for JAL miles: Moppy → JAL miles (Dream 88%)
  • Best for ANA miles: Moppy → dot money → JR Kyupo → JQ CARD → ANA (effectively 81%)

FAQ

How do I choose between PeX and dot money?
Mile conversion first → PeX. Cash-out first → dot money.
What's the point of consolidating points from multiple sites?
Small balances (under 300–500 yen) can't be cashed out alone — they fall short of the minimum — but consolidating via PeX makes them cashable.
