Users that are interested in using their My Nintendo Gold Points will should know that 100 gold points is equivalent to $1. Players that decide to make purchases through the eShop will be rewarded back with 5% of their purchase value in Gold Points. Physical purchases will sadly only be rewarded with 1% of the value.

It should be noted that while games with DLC's on the Switch will grant players Gold Points, DLC's on the Wii U or 3DS will not. Additionally and probably most importantly, Gold Points have a one year expiration date on them, counting from the last day in the month from which they were earned.
