Messi has zero MasterCard spend
Mastercard ambassador Lionel Messi is one of the most famous athletes in the world. He is currently an Inter Miami CF player.
If Messi shops, the shops will not let him pay because they are honoured that he entered the shop and enjoyed the shopping experience.
Messi’s MasterCard usage is zero, as he refuses to pay wherever he goes!
He then took a countermeasure! As he took the item to the cashier, Messi said, “This is a present for my girlfriend (a girl who happened to be near me), and for everyone else in the shop”. The shop was forced to account for the gift of love …This is a scene from a European commercial where MasterCard is most used.
Currently running a present campaign common to all Luxury Cards! (*Entry required)

Does annual income affect Luxury Card screening?
The Luxury Card boasts the only top-tier “World Elite MasterCard” in Japan. Although it is thought that a certain high annual income is required, the average annual income of all cardholders is announced to be 17 million yen.
Although it is thought to depend on the rank of the card, there have been reports of applicants with an annual income of JPY 4 million who have passed the screening process.
It is safe to assume that a stable income and clean usage of the cards you hold, with no financial incidents (e.g. overdue payments), have a positive impact.

Luxury cards are issued by SBI Shinsei Bank
The card is issued by SBI Shinsei Bank.
When you proceed to the Luxury Card application form, you will see the text A Plus Card Membership Terms and Conditions.
Why A Plus? After a little research, I was convinced.
From the Luxury Card Overview
Requirements to pass the Luxury Card assessment
The Luxury Card is said to be equivalent to a regular Platinum Card grade.
This makes sense in terms of the benefit services given to cardholders.
Therefore, the requirements for passing the screening are also considered to be similar to those of a standard platinum card.
Annual income of around JPY 5 million or between JPY 4-8 million
Attributes include corporate executives, civil servants, regular employees of companies and other people who can expect a stable income.
The number of years of service must be at least three years.
Credit history is also a factor.
(e.g. whether there have been any financial accidents, such as overdue payments, and the length of time elapsed since the last accident).
Luxury Card metal types and superb personalised benefits services
Types of world-class premium credit cards Luxury Cards
- Luxury Card Gold is 24-carat gold coated
- Luxury Card Black in brushed stainless steel
- Luxury Card Titanium is brushed stainless steel
All three luxury cards feature a unique, patented metal design and construction.
Incidentally, American Express Platinum is also a metal (metal) credit card.

Eligible Restaurants
Although only available for the Gold Card, Luxury Limousine is also available overseas. As in Japan, if you make a reservation for dinner at an eligible restaurant via Luxury Concierge, a one-way onward (outward) transportation from the designated location to the restaurant will be provided. Please note that if you make arrangements overseas, you will only receive onward transportation.
When abroad, you may get lost on the way to the restaurant, so it is a relief if you can leave it to Luxury Limousine. In addition, reservations for restaurants and limousines can be made in Japanese with the Luxury Concierge, which is a very nice service for those who are not comfortable with English.
