I’m using translation software (which doesn’t work occasionally for some areas), so I have to be careful, and unexpected menus keep popping up when I’m trying to buy my first funds.
I have a Rakuten bank account (top benefits level from exceeding minimum balance), credit card, securities account, and money bridge set up. I’m not going to use my credit card to get points, because it will lower the limit, and I may need to use it for other purposes. I believe it’s set to withdraw from my securities account. Will this automatically pull money from my Rakuten bank account to pay for the securities?
I found the Tsumitate option, and I’m trying to purchase the full ¥100,000 per month (next I’ll try to find the lump sum purchase option). A couple of questions:
Regarding monthly withdrawl date, I just set it to tomorrow in order to get the investment started ASAP. Is this good?
The one about reinvesting daily or monthly, which option is best?
Also, another menu I believe informs me I am set to “Rakuten securities points course”. It’s not clear from the translation if I need to activate this or not. It’s also mentioning “SPU”. Later menu mentions “Rakuten points course”. It has the little “おすすめ” mark next to one. There’s a bit about “SPU”. Which is correct? I mainly want to get my investment started, and don’t care so much about shopping points etc.
Below this it also asks for my transaction PIN. Once I enter that, the transaction’s complete?
Thanks so much
Ps- i’m trying to follow the Retire Japan tutorial video, but his screens look different than mine with different options.
