Nintendo Switch's Excellent Gold Points Scheme Is Being Discontinued
Briefly

Nintendo's Gold Points rewards scheme, which provided customers five percent back on game purchases to be redeemed for discounts, will end on March 24. While users will retain the points they accumulated until 2026, the discontinuation creates uncertainty about how this decision aligns with the anticipated Switch 2 launch. Customers can still earn points until March 2025 and may redeem them for physical games released before the deadline. The announcement underscores a corporate policy shift, much to gamers' surprise, as there is no clear explanation from Nintendo for this abrupt change.
Nintendo's announcement that it will stop its Gold Points system for rewards by March 24 raises questions about the strategy surrounding the launch of the Switch 2.
Gold Points offered players five percent back on purchases, which enhanced the value of buying games on Nintendo's eStore, but will soon come to an end.
