Japan just found a way to let you earn XRP without spending yen.

For the first time, cryptocurrencies have been incorporated as redeemable assets within the Aplus Points program. If you are an Aplus credit cardholder, you can now convert your reward points into cryptocurrencies, including XRP.

This makes Aplus the first major Japanese loyalty program to enable direct conversion of points to cryptocurrencies. 

Before this, Aplus points could be redeemed by consumers for cash, merchandise or airline miles. This new feature connects everyday spending with digital assets. Cardholders can now redeem 2,100 Aplus points for over 2,000 Japanese yen worth of cryptocurrency. This initiative highlights SBI’s commitment to promoting.
