A campaign has started where you can get a credit card and an Amazon gift card when you sign up for CCUS (Construction Career Up System)! (Bait)

2023/10/02

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

It seems there are all kinds of perks if you register with CCUS (Construction Career Up System) lol

 

Right now, there's a pretty hot promotion where you can get a 4,900-yen Amazon gift card plus sign up for the American Express Gold Card!

That's the name of the campaign!

CCUS Level-Up Concept

It appears to be positioned as a "construction smart card" for the construction industry.

Basically, since you receive an Amazon gift card after applying for the American Express Gold Card, you must obtain the card.

I don't need the card, but I guess I can't exactly say I want the 4,900-yen Amazon gift card, lol.

For those who want a credit card, this might actually be an opportunity.

 

It looks like they also have deals like a free glass of draft beer when you show your card, lol.

List of Providers Offering Benefits to CCUS-Certified Technicians (as of September 1, 2023)

Are they so desperate that they're resorting to such a despicable tactic (baiting) as offering free stuff to recruit members?

I do think that, however, services that give registered users even a slight advantage are a good idea.

 

Personally, to make better use of my CCUS card, I’d like to do something similar to what I wrote about before,

It seems like we have no choice but to make it a convenient card, but with vested interests and other factors at play, I wonder how this will turn out!?

A wild idea: If we tweaked the Construction Career Up System (CCUS) card a bit more, wouldn't it become a card that people actually use?

 

I have high hopes for the future of CCUS.

 

See you later

Hello, everyone. I’m Enta. I’ve been driving for about three hours, thinking to myself, “Isn’t the distance we slope workers travel just crazy?” so I figured I’d write about it lol. Our sense of distance is out of sync with the rest of the world. Generally speaking, a one-hour commute by car…

Why Do Cracks Form in Mortar? | Examining the Causes of Cracks in Formwork and Sprayed Mortar from the Perspectives of Mix Design and Curing

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I came across a job site where there were fine cracks in the joints of the retaining wall. A layperson who was with me (not a slope contractor) asked, “Is this okay?” I explained the reasons on the spot, but later I thought, “If I summarize this on my blog, people will understand…”

Hello, this is Director Jou. I provide on-site support for civil engineering projects in Hyogo while sharing content on YouTube about the use of ICT at construction sites. This time, rather than discussing construction methods or equipment, this is more of a record of my desperate attempts. There was something I really wanted on site, but I couldn’t find it anywhere…

The Correct Way to Install Formwork Is Level (Horizontal) | Why Aligning It with the Road Grade Will Make Reinforcement Installation a Nightmare

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When I’m driving on the highway, I can’t help but keep looking at the road embankments—it’s an occupational hazard, isn’t it? lol The other day, while I was on the road, I saw a retaining wall that sloped diagonally to match the road’s gradient. Just as I thought, “Oh, that’s to match the gradient,” I also wondered, “What if there were rebar installers working on this…”

What Is Set Loss? | How Tension Stabilization of Ground Anchors Reduces Load and On-Site Countermeasures

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Young engineers often ask me, “Is set loss really necessary?” Come to think of it, even though the term “set loss” is thrown around all the time on job sites, there are actually a lot of people who’ve never had it properly explained to them. Back in the day, when I was installing ground anchors…
