New-Chapter Season × Point Activity 2026 — Turn Moving, School & Job Spending Into Cashback
A new chapter is a concentrated period of big spending = point activity's biggest chance
The March–April new-chapter season (moving, school, a new job) is point activity's biggest chance, with high-value offers — moving, fiber, smartphone, appliances, cards — all arising at once. Just routing money you'd spend anyway can target 50,000–100,000 yen of point earnings from new-chapter prep alone. This article organizes how to turn that spending into cashback.
Expenses & offers in a new chapter
| Expense | Point offer | Est. cashback |
|---|---|---|
| Moving | Bulk quote | 2,000–5,000 yen |
| Fiber | New contract + activation | 30,000–45,000 yen |
| Smartphone MNP | New / switch | 5,000–15,000 yen |
| Appliances / furniture | Routed EC purchase | 1–3% |
| Card issuance | For students / new workers | 5,000–12,000 yen |
A new chapter is the season when high-value offers arise "naturally." Moving, fiber, smartphone — just route the procedures you'd do anyway. Fiber's 30,000–40,000 yen especially is the star of new-chapter point activity.

Bulk-buying appliances & furniture
Fridge, washer, microwave, bed, curtains — new-chapter appliances and furniture are large amounts, so the 1–3% route pays well. Route Rakuten Ichiba or BicCamera.com through a point site. Overlap with economy sales (Rakuten Super SALE, etc.) for even more cashback. See the annual calendar and double-dip chapter.
