Yahoo! Shopping × point activity 2026 — A double-dip strategy with PayPay STEP
The power of Yahoo! × point activity
Yahoo! Shopping lets you triple-dip PayPay STEP, days ending in 5, and LYP Premium — a high-cashback EC mall in a different shape from Rakuten Ichiba. Combining 1% point-site routing + up to 8% PayPay STEP + 2% on days ending in 5, an effective 10–15% return is achievable.
Main sites' rates compared
| Site | Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|

Combining with PayPay STEP
Yahoo! Shopping gives 5% base, up to +3% = 8% total PayPay cashback via PayPay STEP (Yahoo! Premium / LYP Premium members). The 1% point-site routing stacks on top.
Maxing out days ending in 5
The 5th, 15th and 25th of each month give +4% PayPay cashback (conditions: PayPay Card payment + Yahoo! Premium membership). Combined with point-activity routing, these are "bonus days" reaching an effective 12–15% in one day.
What LYP Premium does
The main perks of LYP Premium (formerly Yahoo! Premium, 508 yen/month):
- A permanent +2% PayPay cashback on Yahoo! Shopping
- An extra +2% on days ending in 5
- Lower winning fees on Yahoo! Auctions
It pays for itself if you spend 3,000+ yen a month on Yahoo! Shopping.
