Does a 10% tax exemption plus a 7% discount equal a total of 17% off?

No. It is not a direct addition but applied in two stages. First, the 10% consumption tax is deducted from the gross price to get the 'tax-free amount.' Then, the 5% or 7% coupon discount is applied to that tax-free amount. Consequently, the actual total savings range from approximately 13.6% to 15.5%.

Can I use a screenshot of the coupon image?

Screenshots cannot be used. Please access the LIVE JAPAN page right before checkout and show the live screen directly to the cashier.

Are there any items that are not eligible for the coupon discount?

Yes, the discount does not apply to alcohol, tobacco, POSA cards (prepaid gift cards), and some high-priced brand items over 100,000 yen.

Can I get both the tax-free discount and the coupon discount?

Yes, you can. The coupon discount (up to 7%) is applied to the total amount after the 10% tax-free discount has been applied. Please present both your passport and the coupon at the tax-free counter when completing the tax-exemption procedure.

Is there a minimum purchase amount to use the coupon?

The coupon can be used on tax-free purchases of 10,000 yen or more (before tax).

How do I use this coupon? Do I just show my smartphone screen at the register?

Yes, that's correct. At the register, please present your smartphone screen to the staff, making sure the barcode on the coupon page is clearly visible. The discount will be applied once the staff scans the barcode. It is best to present the coupon before you finalize your payment.

Can I use a screenshot of the coupon image?

Screenshots cannot be used. Please access the LIVE JAPAN page right before checkout and show the live screen directly to the cashier.

Are there any items that are not eligible for the coupon discount?

Yes, the discount does not apply to alcohol, tobacco, POSA cards (prepaid gift cards), and some high-priced brand items. For more details, please ask a member of the store staff.

Can I get both the tax-free discount and the coupon discount?

Yes, you can. This is the biggest advantage of the Don Quijote coupon. The coupon discount (up to 7%) is applied to the total amount after the 10% tax-free discount has been applied. Please present both your passport and the coupon at the tax-free counter when completing the tax-exemption procedure.

Is there a minimum purchase amount to use the coupon?

The coupon can be used on tax-free purchases of 10,000 yen or more (before tax). The more you buy, the higher the discount rate (5% or 7%), so we recommend shopping and checking out together if you are with a group.

How are the 10% tax-free and 5% coupon discounts calculated?

The order of calculation is crucial. First, the 10% tax-free discount is applied. Then, the coupon discount is applied to that tax-free amount. [Formula: (Price - 10% Tax Free) - Coupon Discount = Final Price]. For example, if you buy 10,000 yen worth of goods (before tax), you will receive a 5% discount on that amount, so you will only pay 9,500 yen.

The internet connection in the store is weak and the coupon page won't load. What should I do?

Connect to Don Quijote's free Wi-Fi: Most stores offer 'DONKI_Free_Wi-Fi'. You can connect immediately with a simple registration—no password is required. We also recommend bookmarking the page before entering the store.

Does the coupon discount apply to alcohol or luxury brand watches?

Unfortunately, no. Certain items are excluded from the discount, including alcohol, tobacco, POSA cards, and high-value items where a single product costs over 100,000 yen. Please check the coupon's terms and conditions or ask the store staff for details.

What should I do if the barcode won't scan?

First, please try increasing your smartphone's screen brightness to the maximum level. If that doesn't work, try reloading the page and showing it again. As this is an officially affiliated coupon with LIVE JAPAN, the issue is typically resolvable by screen brightness adjustments.

Is this coupon valid at all Don Quijote stores?

Yes, it can be used at most Don Quijote and affiliated group stores (such as MEGA Don Quijote, APITA, and PIAGO) throughout Japan.

STEP 4

Tap "Next" -> "Used" following the on-screen prompts
After the cashier scans the barcode, follow the instructions on your phone screen to tap through. Once you receive your receipt showing the discounted price, you are all set.
