The “Nishitsu Survey (tentative) (we might do another survey to decide this name too)” section turns “a quick question for readers + the results of the previous question” into an article👏 Updated every Friday at 8:00 p.m.
(Inspired by Hirakata Tsushin, where Hira2 runs surveys.)
This article is brought to you by “Nichinoken,” a cram school that supports Nishitsu.

Next Survey
Next time, the question is:
“What card do you use that you recommend?”
There are all kinds of cards out there, including point cards, credit cards, and driver’s licenses. Among the cards you use, which one would you recommend? (Cards used through apps are OK too.)
Nishitsu sample answers
Times Business Card
When paying at a Times parking lot, the card comes back from the machine faster than a credit card! I think it’s a valuable card because it saves time.Point card with mandai pay
If you charge 10,000 yen on Wednesdays, you can get 100 yen worth of points, and sometimes points are tripled.Rakuten Points (app)
On days ending in 5 or 0, points are multiplied by 5. If a sports team sponsored by Rakuten wins, points are doubled the next day, so I check the game results.Survey results are here↓↓
There are 6 questions.
