No sales or redemption volume is reported. Photo: Gift Card News; source: Kishiwada City [Kishiwada City](https://giftcard.news/organization/kishiwada-city/) in Japan has begun sales and redemption of its DAN-D premium shopping vouchers. An October 5 notice on the official programme website confirms that purchases and use started that day, moving the digital and paper scheme into operation after the city announced its plans on August 19\. [\[S01\]](#article-source-1)[\[S02\]](#article-source-2) Each ¥5,000 purchase provides ¥6,500 in spending value, a 30% premium. A unit contains ¥4,000 restricted to the programme’s small-store category and ¥2,500 usable at all participating stores. Paper booklets deliver the same value through thirteen ¥500 vouchers, while the app allows payments in ¥1 increments. Payments with paper vouchers do not generate change. [\[S03\]](#article-source-3) The city’s August announcement set a ¥1 billion sales allocation, comprising ¥900 million for digital vouchers and ¥100 million for paper vouchers, with ¥1.3 billion in total face value including the premium. Those figures describe the programme’s planned scale; the October launch notice does not report how much customers have bought or spent.

JPY1 billion of buyer funding corresponds to JPY1.3 billion face value at the stated 30% premium. Digital and paper balances have the same merchant-category split.

Successful applicants could buy their allocated amount, up to six units costing ¥30,000 across both formats combined. The launch notice says allocated quantities cannot be increased or reduced. Digital purchases close at 11:59 p.m. on October 16; paper purchases close at 5 p.m. that day. [\[S01\]](#article-source-1)[\[S03\]](#article-source-3) App vouchers are issued after payment, with credit card, convenience-store and Pay-easy options listed in the terms. Paper buyers pay cash at the designated office or sales venue and must bring their notification postcard and identification. App payments involve scanning the participating merchant’s QR code. [\[S01\]](#article-source-1)[\[S03\]](#article-source-3)[\[S04\]](#article-source-4) Both formats can be used through January 15, 2027\. The rules prohibit cash exchange and purchases of other vouchers or prepaid cards, among other exclusions, and unused balances are not refunded. The separate municipal points allocation is scheduled for October 16, so it is not evidence of voucher redemption at launch.
