At Don Quijote stores—one of the must-stop spots for tourists traveling in Japan—you can earn an extra 5% or 7% discount on top of the standard tax refund (Tax-Free) system with a simple digital coupon method. In these huge shops packed with thousands of cosmetics, tech products, and snacks, this opportunity can seriously ease your budget on bulk purchases, and it only takes a few seconds on your phone.
Discount Rates and Spending Thresholds
The extra discount system at Don Quijote offers two different benefits depending on the total amount of your purchase. These rates, applied on top of the standard tax refund, are set as follows:
- 5% Extra Discount: Valid on single purchases of ¥10,000 or more.
- 7% Extra Discount: When your purchase total exceeds the ¥30,000 threshold, the discount rate automatically rises to 7%.
How to Get and Use the Digital Coupon
The steps you need to follow to use this extra discount smoothly at the register are quite practical:
- On your smartphone, open Google and search for the words “live japan don quijote coupon”.
- From the search results, open the relevant Live Japan page and set the language option to English.
- Tap once on the discount coupon image on the page, and a barcode specific to your shopping will appear on your screen.
- When you reach the payment step at the register, show this barcode to the cashier along with your Tax-Free process. Once the cashier scans the barcode, the extra discount that matches your spending threshold will be applied to your cart instantly.
