    I didn't know that the points were not common knowledge. I've done all of the little missions to get the silver points. I think the thing that annoys me the most though is that the silver and gold points have expiration dates and they are always short so you need to use them before they expire so they aren't as nice/useful as they could be

    For those who don't know there's also daily and maybe weekly missions you can complete on the switch that the Nintendo switch online app (I think) has to earn platinum points. They have different missions for each game you own if I remember correctly so the more games you have the more opportunity you have to gain points.

      @@Simurated honestly for an online service it's really not that expensive compared to PlayStation and Xbox that are literally the same price for 1-2 months that Nintendo charged for a year of online service. Plus it's possible to get it free essentially after buying enough games thanks to the gold coins that are automatically obtained from online purchases and can be claimed manually from physical purchases... There's also the rewards that can be earned from the silver coins I already mentioned in the original comment, but I'm not even sure Nintendo online subscription is even required to earn them.

      Note: only applicable for new copies, if you buy second hand you’ll only be able to redeem gold points if the previous person who owned it didn’t redeem them as it’s tied to the cartridge, not the console.

    I actually knew about this because when I first got my switch "about a year ago" my friend who had a switch since launch day told me about it, the catch is if you buy an old copy of the game, even if it's brand new the gold coins have already expired which has happened to me a couple of times when I bought them from Amazon. I honestly don't understand why they expire after a year, seems like a cheap way to make sure people can't get the points fairly even if the points were never redeemed.
    Also another thing I hate is how the silver points expire, I'm not sure about the gold but I lost 800 points in a single day because there was just nothing I could use them on, and then when there is, I have to pay for shipping which is actually way more expensive then it should be.
