Earn advertising revenue just by putting a sticker on your car! This reporter tried “CheerDrive” for himself.

According to the notification after the application for completion of driving, I drove a total of 356 km in 10 days, including some days when I did not use the car, and it showed 1068 pts. 3 pts. per km. The rate of the points awarded seems to depend on the drivers’ ranking. I am a Bronze driver, so I get 3 pts per km driven, but if I am a Platinum driver, I get 5 pts per km driven.

And 1pt is redeemable for 1 yen. By multiplying by 3, I can drive more than 1,000 km, which is the maximum mileage for the reward, and earn 3,000 yen, which is the maximum reward for Bronze. For Platinum, it is 5,000 yen.

Later, when I checked the notes, I found that if the total mileage is less than 100 km during the period, the company will charge 1,000 yen for the cost of the sticker materials, but people who use their cars regularly will probably drive about 100 km in a month.

Some may want more compensation. However, the data from 2009 shows that many users spend less than 100,000 yen per year in Rakuten Points. In other words, assuming that 1pt is usually added per 100 yen, the points earned in a year would amount to less than 1,000 pts. Considering this, “CheerDrive” is quite attractive.

In this day and age, interest on bank deposits is almost non-existent, and gasoline prices are skyrocketing. All you have to do is download the app, sign up for the campaign, apply the sticker sent to you, and go about your business as usual. No effort is required. That’s a little over 1,000 yen in cash for 10 days, which is enough to cover the cost of gasoline. I guess it comes down to what you think about this.
