Nintendo had previously announced that it would be possible to use My Nintendo Gold Points when purchasing digital games on Switch. This will now going into effect starting today, as soon as maintenance ends.
Switch owners can get 5% back on digital purchases and 1% back on games bought physically. You can apply Gold Points to purchases during checkout on the eShop or on Nintendo’s website. 1 Gold Point amounts to 1 cent. Put another way,: if you pay $59.99 for a game on the eShop, you’ll earn 300 Gold Points, which can be $3.00 towards your next purchase.
