消費者庁は11月6日、ウェブサイトの割引セールに関する表示が景品表示法違反(有利誤認)にあたるとして、旅行大手エイチ・アイ・エス(HIS)の子会社、HISモバイル(東京都新宿区)に対し、再発防止策を講じることなどを求める措置命令を出し、発表した。

消費者庁によると、HISモバイルは2025年2月5日~5月8日、海外で持ち運べるWi-Fi機器のレンタルサービスで「春旅応援キャンペーン」を展開。期間中に無制限プランを申し込めば、レンタル料金が45%割引になる、とサイトに表示した。

ところが、キャンペーン終了翌日の5月9日からは「スーパーサマーセール」と称し、50%の割引率を適用するとしていた。消費者庁は、「春旅応援キャンペーン」は期間中に申し込んだ方が有利であるかのように消費者を誤認させる表示だったと認定した。

また、25年12月~26年2月の「初夢フェア」では、通常価格から「期間限定50%OFF」などと表示した。しかし、セール開始前の一定の期間に「通常価格」でサービスを提供した実績はなかったという。この割引表示についても、実際より安いかのように消費者を誤認させるものだったと認めた。

HISモバイルの担当者は取材に、「措置命令を厳粛に受け止め、広告価格表示の管理体制を見直し、再発防止と信頼回復に努めてまいります」と話した。

キャンペーンの割引率は申込時期によって決まるため、同じ時期に旅行した利用者でも料金に差が生じた可能性がある。同社は「春旅応援キャンペーン」で申し込んだ利用者に、割引率の差に相当する分を返金する方針という。
