The main artwork and detailed issuer overview confirm a 20% premium. Photo: Uminaka Pay / Commoney Uminaka Pay has opened an additional allocation of JPY12 million in premium digital vouchers for participating businesses in Fukuoka’s Shika and Saitozaki areas, extending an existing local spending programme. [\[S01\]](#article-source-1) [\[S02\]](#article-source-2) The issuer’s October announcement set the additional sale for October 14 at 11 a.m. Buyers contribute JPY10 million in total, with a 20% premium increasing the spending value to JPY12 million. The main programme artwork illustrates JPY5,000 buying JPY6,000. ## The additional allocation shares existing spending limits The data behind the story ### Uminaka Pay’s additional allocation is half the original issue Published buyer-funded sales and spending-value allocations for the original programme and additional October 14 issue. Buyer-funded sales allocationSpending face value JPY million Tap or hover for details. Select a series above to show or hide it. Source Original issuer or researcher evidence Offered allocations, not confirmed sales, cash received or merchant redemptions. Spending value includes the 20% premium. The October addition shares the December 31 expiry and does not demonstrate additional economic activity or extend the life of the balance. Show data tableHide data table Scroll left or right to see all columns __Uminaka Pay’s additional allocation is half the original issue (JPY million)__ | Category | Buyer-funded sales allocation | Spending face value | | ------------------------ | ----------------------------- | ------------------- | | Original programme | 20 JPY million | 24 JPY million | | Additional October issue | 10 JPY million | 12 JPY million | People who bought in the August 1-31 sale may buy again in the additional round, with a further maximum purchase of JPY50,000 per person. That amount would supply JPY60,000 of spending value at the stated premium. [\[S01\]](#article-source-1) The October sale is first come, first served and ends when its allocation is exhausted. The issuer attributes the addition to the programme’s popularity, but supplies no redemption results or merchant-sales comparison establishing its economic effect. The spending deadline remains December 31 at 11:59 p.m. The additional allocation does not extend the life of the balance. Users can make repeated purchases in JPY1 increments until their ticket is exhausted. [\[S01\]](#article-source-1) [\[S02\]](#article-source-2) Uminaka Pay operates through [Commoney](https://giftcard.news/company/commoney/). Users fund a digital ticket and scan a participating shop’s QR code, entering and checking the payment amount with staff. The published terms prohibit transfer and refund and exclude purchases of gift certificates and other cash-like items. [\[S02\]](#article-source-2) For the local issuer, the addition expands the value offered within the same acceptance area and timetable. The distinction between buyer funding, premium and spending face value is essential: the JPY12 million figure is neither a new cash grant to every resident nor a measurement of completed merchant sales. ## In this article ### Companies * [Commoney](https://giftcard.news/company/commoney/) ### Sources and documents * [\[S01\] October announcement of additional sales and returning-buyer eligibility](https://commoney.jp/uminakapay?utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news&utm%5Fcampaign=giftcard.news) — Commoney / Uminaka Pay * [\[S02\] Original and additional allocations, premium and spending terms](https://commoney.jp/uminakapay/overview?utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news&utm%5Fcampaign=giftcard.news) — Commoney / Uminaka Pay Share [ ](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fgift-cards%2Fuminaka-pay-additional-october-premium-voucher-allocation%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dx%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&text=Uminaka+Pay+adds+JPY12+million+of+premium+digital+spending+value&utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news&utm%5Fcampaign=giftcard.news "X") [ ](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fgift-cards%2Fuminaka-pay-additional-october-premium-voucher-allocation%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dlinkedin%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news&utm%5Fcampaign=giftcard.news "LinkedIn") [ ](https://wa.me/?text=Uminaka+Pay+adds+JPY12+million+of+premium+digital+spending+value+https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fgift-cards%2Fuminaka-pay-additional-october-premium-voucher-allocation%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dwhatsapp%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news&utm%5Fcampaign=giftcard.news "WhatsApp") ![Portrait of Daniel Brooks](https://giftcard.news/images/variants/v1/daniel-brooks-editorial-portrait-w320.webp) About the author ## [Daniel Brooks](https://giftcard.news/author/daniel-brooks/) Journalist — Payments, Security & PCI DSS Daniel Brooks covers payment networks, financial technology, payment security, gift card fraud and PCI DSS for Gift Card News.
