Customers can continue earning Gold Points until March 24. Since these points are valid for 12 months from the date of being earned, they can be “used to get a discount on Nintendo eShop purchases until they expire, even after the distribution of Gold Points has ended,” Nintendo said.

Nintendo is killing off My Nintendo Gold Points before the Switch 2 launches, ending one of its best rewards programs.

Of course, Nintendo discounting Gold Points isn’t necessarily all bad news. It is rumored that the highly-anticipated Switch 2 is coming later this year. A likely comprehensive Nintendo Direct on April 2 about the next steps for the console may even outline a release date.
