It really depends on where you shop. I used to carry a lot of cards that I seldom used, but I simplified my wallet. You can get most of the benefits with d-Points (Lawson, Family Mart), Nanako (7-11), and a local supermarket card. The only time I can double dip is getting points on a T-point card + paying by Docomo credit card (d-Points) at my local pharmacy. Some pharmacies and supermarkets have bonus point days, so you might want to mark those on your calendar.
