Nintendo's Gold Points Program Is Ending: Here's What You Need to Know Before It's Too Late!

The Gold Points system has long been a compelling incentive for gamers opting to buy digital titles on the Nintendo Switch, allowing them to redeem points for discounts on future purchases from the Nintendo eShop. However, Nintendo has revealed that this beloved rewards program will be coming to an end on March 24, 2025, marking the conclusion of the ability to earn Gold Points from digital game purchases.

Gold Points Earnable Until the Cutoff Date:

  1. Pre-orders of digital content placed before 9:30 PM PDT on March 24, 2025, will still qualify for Gold Points. Even if payment is processed after this deadline, points will be awarded the day following payment confirmation for pre-orders made within the timeframe.
  2. Purchasing physical versions of games released on or before March 24, 2025, will allow for Gold Points accrual. Notably, these points can still be earned after the cutoff date, but only for physical games acquired within one year of their original launch. Be aware that titles released post-deadline will not provide Gold Points.

Moreover, you can still rack up Gold Points on purchases made at the Nintendo New York store through the deadline. We appreciate your support of the My Nintendo Rewards program and hope you continue to enjoy all its other exciting features.
