PayPay requires “Usage Vouchers” for third-party credit cards; traditional payment method to end in late August.
On July 1, 2026, PayPay announced new measures regarding the continued use of non-PayPay credit cards (including PayPay Card Gold) within its smartphone payment service. Starting that same day, the company introduced “Third-Party Card Usage Vouchers” as a way to continue using external credit cards. With the introduction of these vouchers, PayPay plans to terminate the conventional payment method of linking third-party credit cards directly to the service by the end of August.

Makes no sense.

I’m switching to something else.

Honestly, which is more cost-effective: using a credit card directly or going through PayPay?
4: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 01:06:53.27 ID:E6QC5Znx0
So basically, they’re turning it into a prepaid card you charge by buying vouchers through the app.

Typical SoftBank. Consumers will keep falling for this unless they get smarter.
6: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 01:08:14.94 ID:02t4DcO80
If I can’t link my other credit cards, I’m not using PayPay at all.
7: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 01:10:44.01 ID:w9wTWkQg0
I tried using it a few times, but the external credit card hassle made me quit.
Don’t really need it anyway.

Maybe I should close my unused PayPay Bank account too?
14: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 01:12:13.87 ID:NSwixTnX0
How stupid.
15: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 01:12:31.35 ID:Owf6OZJ90
Is it even worth going through all this trouble? PayPay itself isn’t necessary.

I guess Rakuten is a bit more flexible with their rules.
They’re probably gonna ruin their rewards rate eventually too, but sticking with them is still questionable.

What’s even the point of PayPay?

PayPay is essential if you don’t want to use your credit card for payments on Yahoo Flea Market or Yahoo Auctions. It’s accepted at many stores, so it’s not a bad thing to have.

Are they just using confusing names to keep people from using it? lol.
To put it nicely, it just means you’re no longer using a direct credit card payment, it’s now a pre-charged prepaid system.

Someone fix these shops that only take cash or PayPay.
This doesn’t feel like a developed country, lol.

It’s such a stupid system.

So annoying.

Haven’t used it since the 10-billion-yen campaign.
34: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 01:21:27.29 ID:eZTijVhA0
I don’t really get it, but “Usage Vouchers” sounds so Showa-era, lol.

Trash turning into even more trash.

Opportunity for Rakuten Pay, then.
42: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 01:27:19.92 ID:ej4kHlha0
Do people really want to use it that badly?

Locking users in eventually drives them away.

Even I, a PayPay supporter, am thinking about switching now.
62: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 01:38:55.44 ID:UQ5TCvsb0
This is a chance for the others. Though if they just follow suit and do the same thing, it won’t matter.
63: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 01:39:51.43 ID:r5uMgrpG0
Nobody cares about getting points anymore. Just make it convenient.
78: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 01:49:09.26 ID:2C67TLyC0
I’m deleting PayPay once I use up my balance.
79: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 01:49:28.38 ID:HQ6OvfR70
They’re cutting back on a lot of services, they must be struggling with cash flow.
86: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 01:58:18.85 ID:j5dNs/G60
I guess it’s for students who don’t have credit cards.
93: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 02:08:08.63 ID:1LtS9+kO0
High schoolers these days use smartphone payments normally.
They even buy drinks from vending machines with their phones.

PayPay’s methods might actually run afoul of antitrust laws.
102: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 02:26:09.16 ID:ZYC2N6h30
Wait, could you actually use other companies’ credit cards?
I just signed up for a PayPay card like a normal person.

It really is stupid how they keep pushing us around.

Shops are starting to refuse PayPay because the fees are too high, so it’s probably the end of the line.

Corporate profits over customer convenience.
Don’t want to get involved with them.

PayPay only does lump-sum payments and doesn’t support installments, so it’s useless.
If I can’t pay in installments, I’ll just pay with cash lol.

See? Cash is king.
