Need some credit? Capcom has your back!

[Project Omega]

I hate to break the chain of Resident Evil 5 news but this is a rather new to me anyway and thought I'd share it with everyone.

It seems that the Japan Credit Bureau (JCB) has strucken a deal with Capcom Japan and they have jointly made some Biohazard (Resident Evil) releated credit cards. Apparently this is a Japan only item as the US version of JCB's website does not mention these cards but I've sent their Customer Service an email in regards to this just in case they are available.

Naturally, here in the US, if you were to open an account, you can use the card at any ATM which features the Cirrus logo, STAR System logo and other STAR reciprocal networks. Why wouldn't you use your STARS credit card at a STAR[S] ATM?

Internationally, JCB is a member of the CIRRUS and NEXUS Network. NEXUS ATM's are located in Europe. Also, the JCB Card can be used at all JCB ATM's, the Bank of Tokyo - Mitsubishi UFJ ATM's, and the Postal Office ATM's in Japan.

The JCB Card is accepted at over 13.5 million locations in 190 countries, including most major airlines, hotels, car rental agencies and thousands of fine restaurants and retail stores.

Here are the three credit cards currently in production :

It should be noted that, using your JCB card gets you 5% off purchases made on http://www.e-capcom.com/ and http://www.phantom-web.com.

These have been out for a while.

Here is a brochure for them I picked up at the Tokyo Phantom Osaka store.



At the bottom there is a 'Present campaign', with which you get the sticker sheet (pictured), and the RPD and STARS pins (pictured).

I got a set from Yahoo Auctions, which also came with an RPD notepad and binder, with the 10th anniversary stamped in the back.

I've also seen the stickers, pins, binder and the STAR ipod mini for sale together in auctions. But I'm not sure about the binder and ipod, but I suspect they are linked to this.

EDIT: http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w24505696
That's an auction for all 4 there. The listing mentions the JCB card.


That's the ipod, and that's the symbol on the back. It's the best pic I can find online ATM.

That's a pretty nice flyer. At work, there's no Japanese language font installed so all I get is small squares splashed around the page on Japanese websites, which sucks.

My contribution: a friend of mine who lives in Japan sent me these scans two years ago.

I want them just because they're pretty, not to use them or anything, although I honestly wouldn't mind the 5% discount

i'm liking the black card at the moment but really i'd love the STARS Ipod, as I was going to invest money in getting a Halo 3 one, but R.E comes first

I thnk it is a good idea to have your own stars card. To bad I cant have one of them.
