Nintendo is ending its My Nintendo Gold Points Switch eShop rewards scheme

Nintendo is ending its Gold Points scheme on My Nintendo next month.

The company launched its My Nintendo rewards programme in 2016 alongside the new Nintendo Account system, allowing players to earn Gold and Platinum Points which could be exchanged for physical and digital goods.

While Platinum Points are earned by performing various tasks, Gold Points are earned by buying software, and can then be spent on discounts for future eShop purchases.

While Platinum Points will continue, Nintendo has now announced that Gold Points will end next month.

“On March 25, 2025, the ability to earn Gold Points will end,” it said in a statement on the My Nintendo website. After this date, players will no longer be able to earn Gold Points when purchasing  digital software (either on the eShop or via a download code).

According to the statement, players who already have Gold Points after March 25 will still be able to use them before they expire (Gold Points are valid for 12 months from the date they were earned).

Gold Points can also be earned by registering a new physical game on a player’s Switch for the first time – this will still be possible, as long as the game was released before March 25, 2025, and the game is registered less than two years after it was originally released in Europe and South Africa (one year in other countries).

Players will still earn Gold Points for any pre-orders they made before March 25, even if the game releases after that date.

“We sincerely thank you for using the My Nintendo rewards programme, and apologise for any inconvenience,”
