Has anyone taken advantage of the Sony bank campaign to transfer foreign currency and get 10万 or ANA miles?

  • February 14, 2026

I got an email from Sony bank (I have an account with them) about the following campaign:

【最大で現金10万円がもらえる】外貨送金キャンペーン実施中！

他の金融機関に預けたままになっている外貨はありませんか？

ソニー銀行への外貨送金で、現金またはANAマイルがもらえるキャンペーンを実施中です。外貨の預替えは、どうぞお早めにお手続きください。

Apparently, if I were to transfer some of my USD to Sony bank I’d be eligible for a “present” of up to 10万 or 6万 ANA miles. Not sure how much I’d have to transfer to get the full amount. Usually, I just ignore these campaigns. However, I currently have an IBKR account that hasn’t migrated to IBSJ yet, so I can easily transfer USD from my US bank account to my IBKR ‘domestically’ without fees. However, I wonder if having a Sony USD account would be more convenient after I migrate to IBSJ. I’m due to be migrated soon. So, if it was something I was going to do anyhow.

Probably not worth it though. I can just transfer everything into my IB account before they make me migrate anyhow. I wondered if anyone else here with Sony bank has done it and knows the details, and for what situation it might be worth it. Currently I only use the Sony account for my mortgage. But I’ve heard some people say good things about their banking options.

Note: I’m not looking for professional advice; just interested to hear if other people have participated in these campaigns and their experiences.

    I mean it’s right there at the link you must have gotten, so not sure why you are not sure. 

    It’s [1億](https://sonybank.jp/campaign/fr202601/) (100,000,000).

    If you need to transfer anyway sure make use of campaigns. But I don’t think the incentives alone are sufficient to make people say: “Oh, let’s move some 6 figure USD amount and enjoy being asked AML questions with funds held in limbo for a few days and then having a hard time getting the money out again later.”
