Nintendo to End Gold Points with Switch 2 Launch

Nintendo is preparing for the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 by making significant changes to its reward and discount programs. The My Nintendo Gold Points program will be discontinued on March 24, 2025, meaning players will no longer earn points from digital purchases and new physical game releases after this date. Existing Gold Points will remain valid for 12 months. Additionally, Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers cannot be redeemed for games exclusive to the Switch 2, which has raised concerns about potential price increases for new titles. These changes suggest a strategic shift by Nintendo, possibly to introduce a new rewards system aligned with the Switch 2. The upcoming Nintendo Direct on April 2 is anticipated to reveal more details about the Switch 2, including its games and features.
