Sumitomo Mitsui Card Co. has once again taken advantage of the ever colossal otaku market by pumping out some Miku-themed MasterCards, a profitable strategy that will likely earn them ~1% of the disposable income of ravenous Miku fans who must have any and every such item featuring the virtual diva.
The first 3,000 applicants will be given a complimentary clear file and the first 2,000 applicants who are also signed up for the Japanese e-money service “iD” will receive a unique Hatsune Miku iD sticker. Everyone else just gets the plastic…
Various other goodies are also available for those who possess “World Present” points (which are obtained upon making card payments) and the first 50 people who spend over ¥70,000 between September 9th and December 31st have a chance to win a metallic version of Hatsune Miku Nendoroid.
Unfortunately the cards are only available to those in Japan (subject to approval, which is not generally granted to dirty foreigners), though they can be obtained at Magical Mirai 2016 from September 9th to the 11th, while web applications will start on September 14th.

This is the biggest reason my family owes me so much money, not understanding how credit works.
Learn about interest rates and what vehicles you can put your money into. You need credit to build wealth, get a card or two so you can get approved for a car loan, or a home loan down the road. Use your card to pay for little things as soon as you buy them when you’re younger.
“You need credit to build wealth…”
Nonsense. The only thing credit builds is debt.
Ah see, that is what they want you to think. Understand your Debt-to-Income Ratio.

Does Japan not have custom cards?
Most don’t have a card.
I live in Toronto. I started learning about money from early age. I ended up loaning a huge amount of my own money to family so they would not become homeless. Learn how credit works early on.
