PeX introduces redemption waits and lower V-Preca fees

PeX has changed both the timing and cost of selected reward exchanges through announcements on October 6 and 8. Its later notice introduced a wait of at least seven days between exchange requests and completion across all destinations, from October 8 for the time being. [S01] [S02] The affected gift products named by the Japanese rewards platform include Amazon Gift Card, Uber Gift Card, WAON POINT eGift and Doutor-specific QUO Card Pay. Bitcoin and Pollet exchanges were temporarily suspended. The notice was updated on October 9. [S02] PeX described the waiting period as a preventive response to reports of unauthorised logins and point exchanges at other services. It said it had not confirmed leakage of email addresses, passwords or similar information from PeX. Users sharing their PeX password with another service were urged to change it. The notice gives no end date for the precaution. [S02] The separate October 6 announcement set V-Preca exchanges to resume on October 7 at 10:00. The rate improved from 5,000 to 4,900 PeX points for JPY 500 of V-Preca value, and the 1,000-point exchange fee was removed. Estimated completion changed from real time to around seven days.
