For example, if we earned points on January 6, 2022, these points will expire on July 31, 2022).

As a reminder, regular Platinum Points are earned by completing missions in the My Nintendo service or with mobile apps. They can be redeemed for rewards, such as customized icons for our profile. Meanwhile, Gold Points are those related to purchases of digital games, downloadable content or registering games in physical format. These Gold Points can later be used to apply discounts on purchases from the eShop.
