Yes, starting in March, you will finally be able to redeem your Gold Points for digital Nintendo Switch games!
Details are sparse, but it sounds as though you will be able to use the points to straight up get games, much like the way they currently offer a handful of 3DS and Wii U titles.
They have promised more information soon. Until then, you can read the announcement below.

My Nintendo members already earn Gold Points by buying qualifying games. Soon they’ll be able to redeem Gold Points for eligible digital games and content for the Nintendo Switch™ system, too.
Here’s how it will work:
Of course, you can also continue to redeem your points for existing My Nintendo rewards for Wii U or Nintendo 3DS systems.
- Buy a qualifying digital game for Nintendo Switch, Wii U™, or Nintendo 3DS™ family systems or a physical game for the Nintendo Switch system.
- Earn Gold Points worth 5% of the amount you pay, not including any points or discounts used*.
- You can then redeem those points on your next eligible digital purchase (including games and DLC) for the Nintendo Switch system from Nintendo eShop or Nintendo.com.
Stay tuned for more details!
