Nintendo Switch Gold Coins

This is a heads-up for Nintendo fans: Nintendo has announced that the Nintendo Gold Points reward program will end on March 24. No purchases made via Nintendo eShop will earn gold points. However, the existing gold points are still valid for 12 months.

Check out the full details below via Nintendo.

As of 9:30 PM PDT on March 24, 2025, it will no longer be possible to earn My Nintendo Gold Points when purchasing digital content.

Gold Points will still be earned after that time in the following scenarios:

When you have pre-ordered digital content before 9:30 PM PDT on March 24, 2025. Any pre-orders for digital content made before 9:30 PM PDT on March 24, 2025 will earn Gold Points, even if the payment will be processed later. Gold Points for these pre-orders will be awarded by the day after the payment is processed.

When you purchase a physical version of a game released on or before March 24, 2025. Physical versions of games that were released on or before March 24, 2025 are still eligible to earn Gold Points, even if the game is purchased after March 24, 2025. Note that Gold Points can only be earned for physical games within one year of the game’s original release date, and physical versions of games released after March 24, 2025 will not qualify for Gold Points.
