        • All digital titles for Nintendo Switch that are available through Nintendo eShop qualify for Gold Points.
      • Physical Software:
        • Gold Points can be earned by registering physical game cards for Nintendo Switch. (Physical software for other consoles/systems does not qualify for Gold Points.)
        • For physical software, points are awarded at 1% of the Nintendo eShop price for the digital version of the game.
        • Gold Points must be claimed:
          • Europe and South Africa: within two years of the game’s original release date.
          • Other Countries: within one year of the game’s original release date.
        • A game card can only be redeemed one time. If it has already been redeemed by one Nintendo Account, it cannot be redeemed again with a different one.
