I have been using the Mijica card from Yuucho bank for the last 2 or 3 years now. It had said it was cancelled but they would let anyone with one use it until it expires. Mine is still valid until 2025 but stopped working yesterday as far as I can tell. Does anyone else still use one and had this problem? Is it a Mijica wide issue or just my card?
Thank you in advance for any info you guys have

They’ve officially discontinued mijica as of July.
There’s been a -ton- of emails about it. Officially done and dusted as of 7/31.
Yeah ended as of last month. Plenty of warnings about it even on this sub. The replacement is https://www.jp-bank.japanpost.jp/kojin/cashless/yuchodebit/kj_cl_yd_index.html but requires “investigation” before issuing just like a credit card, and people are getting rejected for no good reason. You can try applying tho, its free and online.
Mijica shut up shop unfortunately. I’d recommend getting a debit card with Sony Bank, super easy online application in English 🙂
