KDDI has introduced new point exchange initiatives in Japan. In mid-October 2026, KDDI and au Financial Service Co., Ltd. announced a promotional campaign for users of the official Tokyo Metropolitan Government app. This campaign allows participants to exchange Tokyo Points for au PAY balances, with rewards in Ponta points distributed to the first 20,000 eligible participants.

Following this, KDDI announced the launch of the ‘Ponta Pass Point Premium Exchange’ service, scheduled to begin on October 29. This service enables Ponta Pass subscription members to exchange Ponta points for rewards valued at more than one yen per point, including various coupons, gift tickets, and museum entries.
