My Nintendo Gold Points can be used to buy Switch games

6 Mar 2018
Steve Wright

The My Nintendo program has been updated to allow users to cash in their My Nintendo Gold Points for Nintendo Switch games.

Under the current model, 100 My Nintendo Gold Points are equal to $1 AUD. Or $1 USD, or basically the equivalent of whatever $1 is in available regions. Simple, eh?

My Nintendo users will accrue My Nintendo Gold Points at a rate of 5% per dollar for digital purchases, and 1% per dollar for physical purchases. The Points earned from physical purchases will be based on the cost set by the digital version of the title, so if you manage to get it for a great deal, you may end up with more points than you originally thought.

The new My Nintendo program is available now.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.
