Hi everyone,
I’ve done some research on this subreddit in the past about the best Credit Card to get in Japan as a Resident to maximize cashback benefits. Based on the information I found, I decided to go with a Rakuten Bank account along with a Rakuten Card and Rakuten Pay.
​
However, I also have a SMBC bank account and stumbled upon something about the [OLIVE Card](https://www.smbc-card.com/olive_flexible_pay/index.jsp). Now, I’m considering whether I should switch to this card, or even upgrade to [SMBC Gold card](https://www.smbc-card.com/nyukai/card/index.jsp?stnd=true&gold=true) or [Rakuten Gold](https://www.rakuten-card.co.jp/card/rakuten-gold-card/)/[Rakuten Premium](https://www.rakuten-card.co.jp/card/rakuten-premium-card/).
​
Do any of you have any thoughts or experiences with these options? I would greatly appreciate hearing about them to help me make a decision.
​
Thank you very much!
