Electronics × Rakuten points: the leverage
Rakuten BIC's core strength: Ichiba point multipliers land on high-ticket electronics, where the same rate means far more absolute points (multipliers and terms change — confirm officially before buying).
- Counts as one marathon shop — the multiplier pays most on expensive items
- SPU applies as usual
- 5/0-day Rakuten Card campaigns stack on top
- Earned points spend across the whole ecosystem — a big purchase becomes a point factory
- Entry-based campaigns (e.g. 2x points over ¥5,000) run regularly
Shipping and same/next-day delivery in practice
- Free shipping over ¥3,980 (tax incl.); some large items carry different terms
- Same-day delivery in eligible areas (e.g. Tokyo metro) when ordered by the cutoff
- Next-day areas and cutoffs show on the product page
- Large appliances can be scheduled with carry-in delivery
Install, recycling and extended warranty
What separates Rakuten BIC from generic Ichiba electronics shops is the big-box service layer.
- Delivery-and-install for fridges, washers, TVs and more
- Recycling pickup of the old unit can be booked with the purchase
- Extended warranties available for long-life appliances
- Store-linked services too, like online reserve for in-store pickup

Pertanyaan umum
How does Rakuten BIC differ from biccamera.com?
The catalog base is the same Bic Camera, but Rakuten BIC lives inside Rakuten Ichiba: purchases earn Rakuten points, with buy-around, SPU and 5/0-day multipliers applying. biccamera.com earns Bic points instead. For Rakuten-ecosystem users, Rakuten BIC's points spend far more widely.
How much is shipping on Rakuten BIC?
Free over ¥3,980 (tax incl.); some large items carry different terms, so check the product page. Same/next-day delivery is available in eligible areas such as the Tokyo metro when ordered by the cutoff.
Can Rakuten BIC install large appliances and recycle the old one?
Yes. Delivery-and-install covers fridges, washers, TVs and more, and recycling pickup of the old unit can be booked with the purchase. Extended warranties are available too — the full big-box service layer.
Is Rakuten BIC eligible for the shopping marathon?
Yes — it counts as one buy-around shop and SPU applies as usual. Since electronics are high-ticket, the multiplier benefit is large; buying during marathons or on 5/0 days is the standard play.
Is Rakuten BIC cheaper than in-store retail?
On sticker price alone, comparison-site specialists or in-store negotiation can win. But on effective price — buy-around, SPU and campaign points included — Rakuten BIC often comes out ahead, and the install/warranty services add real value.
