Nintendo Offers 1,000 My Nintendo Gold Points With Switch Online Family Membership Renewal

Nintendo has unveiled a limited-time promotion for Nintendo Switch Online users in North America, rewarding players who purchase or renew a 12-month Family Membership for either Nintendo Switch Online or the Expansion Pack service.

Those who take advantage of the offer before August 11, 2024, will receive 1,000 My Nintendo Gold Points — a valuable bonus that can be spent on digital titles and content via the Nintendo eShop. The ongoing Nintendo Switch Online service has become an essential part of the Switch ecosystem, offering players benefits including online multiplayer, a growing library of classic NES, Super NES, and Game Boy titles, cloud save data, and access to the Nintendo Switch Online smartphone app.

Expanding on the standard membership, the Expansion Pack adds bonus content such as access to Nintendo 64, SEGA Genesis, and Game Boy Advance collections, as well as select downloadable content (DLC) for first-party Nintendo titles like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. According to official information from Nintendo, this promotion is exclusively available to users residing in North America.

Whether new or returning, anyone who purchases or renews a qualifying 12-month Family membership for the base Nintendo Switch Online service or the enhanced Expansion Pack tier is eligible for the bonus.

The 1,000 My Nintendo Gold Points awarded can be used as eShop credit, allowing players to discount or purchase new Nintendo Switch games, DLC, and other digital content. A representative from Nintendo highlighted the ease of accessing this benefit, emphasizing that points will be automatically credited to the user's Nintendo Account after the transaction.

The company encourages fans to take advantage of these benefits, reminding them of the extensive range of content and online play capabilities available to subscribers. This initiative underscores Nintendo's ongoing efforts to provide added value to its subscription platform, which has seen notable growth since its initial launch.

The company continues to attract new players while rewarding loyal fans through a combination of service enhancements and regular promotions. Players interested in this offer can visit the Nintendo website or eShop for more details.

The promotional period runs until August 11, 2024.

All eligible Gold Points must be redeemed within the My Nintendo ecosystem, further integrating Nintendo’s rewards program with its digital marketplace.
