Taipei, April 15, 2025 - Taiwan Rakuten Card, Inc., a subsidiary of Rakuten Card Co., Ltd., today announced the launch of two new premium Visa credit cards: the Rakuten Premium Infinite Card and the Rakuten Premium Signature Card. Designed for frequent travelers and customers seeking enhanced rewards, these cards offer enhanced rewards that include travel insurance, Taiwan Rakuten Card Points, and airline mile conversion with Asia Miles and EVA Air.
Eiji Ishii, CEO of Taiwan Rakuten Card, commented, "We are excited to introduce the Premium Infinite and Signature Cards to customers in Taiwan, providing tailored solutions for shoppers who demand exceptional rewards and benefits. From unparalleled rewards to a balanced suite of premium benefits, we are confident we have a card perfectly suited to every individual's needs."
The Rakuten Premium Infinite and Signature Cards are each designed with a specific customer in mind. For rewards maximizers, the Rakuten Premium Infinite Card supercharges mile-earning potential, rewarding cardholders with an unmatched 1 point* for every NT$6 spent overseas and 1 point* for every NT$18 spent domestically.
New cardholders will receive a bonus of 12,500 points* by spending NT$25,000 within the first 45 days. With an industry-leading earning rate and an annual fee of NT$15,000, this card is the ultimate choice for frequent international travelers.
Similarly, the Rakuten Premium Signature Card offers 1 point* for every NT$13 spent overseas and 1 point* for every NT$18 spent domestically. New cardholders who spend NT$5,000 within 45 days will be awarded 3,000 points* as a special bonus. Ideal for those who appreciate premium benefits without a high cost, this card has an annual fee of NT$3,000.
Both cards allow conversion of Taiwan Rakuten Card Points to airline miles with Asia Miles and EVA Air at a 1:1 ratio, and both offer a reduced minimum exchange threshold of 2,000 points* during the first three months. Both online and offline purchases from all countries and regions, as well as income tax payments and rebates are eligible for points*, allowing cardholders to enjoy maximum benefits even from home. The standard threshold is 3,000 points*. Newly launched alongside the Premium Infinite and Signature Cards, Taiwan Rakuten Card Points are valid for three years from the date of issuance, offering ample time to redeem miles or rewards.
To celebrate the launch, cardholders will receive bonus points* when using their Rakuten Premium Infinite or Signature Card to pay their 2024 Taiwan comprehensive income tax. For every NT$18 spent on tax payments, cardholders will earn 1 point*, with maximum bonus points* capped at 5,500 for the Infinite Card and 2,500 for the Signature Card.
Taiwan Rakuten Card will continue to innovate and expand its premium credit card services, delivering exceptional value, exclusive benefits and rewarding experiences to its customers.
