Hello, this is Frank.
Today’s featured term is the one in the title: SMBC Card.
Normally, I don’t pay much attention to online ads, but I’ve really come to like the recent ones from SMBC Card (Sumitomo Mitsui).
They’ve totally shaken off their old-school, conventional image—makes me wonder if they switched agencies or something.
I actually have an SMBC card myself, so I feel kind of in sync with the direction they’re taking.
The point rewards look solid too. From now on, I’m thinking of stacking these on top of my Rakuten Points. Not a bad combo.
If you’re interested in my published books, please check them out here.
Thank you for reading today.
