Shareholder Benefit Program
AEON would like customers who regularly use our stores to participate as shareholders in creating a "future where smiles bloom" together with AEON. Based on the opinions of our "customer shareholders," who are both our customers and shareholders, we aim to manage our business from a customer perspective.
- please note
-
- The Company does not accept or carry out procedures for stock trading, etc.
- The responsibility of shareholders becomes the principle of self-responsibility. Investing in stocks has benefits such as dividends and shareholder benefits, but it also comes with the risk of price drops. The responsibility will be borne by the shareholder who made the investment decision. Please also check the disclaimer.

"Shareholder Benefit Card"
When shopping, please present your Owner's Card and pay with cash, WAON (AEON 's electronic money), AEON credit card, AEON gift certificate, or AEON gift card.
Depending on the number of shares you hold, you will receive a refund every six months in the amount calculated by multiplying your total purchase amount by the refund rate below. However, at some companies and stores, such as specialty stores, the benefit is only applicable to cash payments.
Usage period and refund period
- If you are a newly registered shareholder, you will be able to use the card after receiving the owner's card, so the available period will be shorter than the indicated period. Please refer to the following "From Information to Use of Shareholder 's Benefits" for the procedure and flow of card use.
For example, if you spend 1,000,000 yen in half a year (March 1st to the end of August)
- Mr. A who owns 100 shares → 1 million yen x 3% = 30,000 yen
- Mr. B who owns 500 shares → 1 million yen x 4% = 40,000 yen
- Mr. C who owns 1,000 shares → 1 million yen x 5% = 50,000 yen
