My Nintendo Now Has A Switch 2 Reward

Summary

North American users can claim a Switch 2 keychain for 600 Platinum Points at the My Nintendo Store.
Users must cover shipping and handling costs to receive the keychain.
Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders in the US were postponed due to Trump administration tariffs.

In the lead-up to the Nintendo Switch 2 global launch, Nintendo revealed a Switch 2 keychain that North American users can redeem via Platinum Points at the My Nintendo Store. However, supplies of the Switch 2 keychain souvenir are limited, and interested users must also cover any shipping or delivery fees that may be collected.

The Nintendo Switch 2 keychain offer comes at a strange time for the company. Following the full reveal of the Switch 2 during the April 2 Nintendo Direct, Nintendo announced that pre-orders would open on April 9 in the US at various retailers, including Walmart and Best Buy. However, on April 4, the Trump administration’s round of tariffs forced Nintendo to pause pre-orders in the US and Canada to reevaluate the situation and mull over a potential price increase. As of this writing, most of the Trump administration’s tariffs have been postponed for 90 days, though a 125% tariff on goods from China remains in place.

Nintendo Switch 2 Release Date Delayed in 1 Country

In a surprising development, Nintendo announces that it is delaying the release date of the highly anticipated Switch 2 console in one major country.

As Nintendo fans wait for the Switch 2 to launch on June 5, users also have limited time to claim a collectible item. As reported by Nintendo Life, a Switch 2 “wristlet keychain” is now available to claim for 600 Platinum Points at the My Nintendo Store. The keychain features the Nintendo Switch 2s logo on a red wrist strap, and the keychain can be hooked via a ring or an oval-shaped hoop.

Nintendo Fans Can Claim A Switch 2 Keychain For 600 Platinum Points

The My Nintendo Store in North America is offering a Switch 2 keychain for 600 Platinum Points.
Users must cover any shipping and handling costs.
The Switch 2 keychain offer comes on the day that console pre-orders were originally planned to start in the US.
Switch 2 pre-orders in the US were postponed due to the Trump administration’s tariffs.

However, this offer is only available to North American users with sufficient Platinum Points, while supplies last. Additionally, Nintendo users who claim the new keychain must cover all shipping and handling expenses. Standard shipping via UPS Ground in the US starts at $6.99, with a total shipping time of three to nine business days.

Unlike the recently retired Nintendo Gold Points program, Platinum Points are earned by playing various Nintendo Switch games and logging into the Nintendo Switch Online app on Switch consoles. The methods by which Platinum Points are earned periodically change, and some Points are locked behind games that require the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack membership. Platinum Points can also be spent on Nintendo Switch avatars featuring characters and logos from franchises like Super Mario and Pokemon.

A free Nintendo Account is required to earn and spend Platinum Points. While the Switch 2 price information in North America remains fluid due to the tariff changes, it remains to be seen how much it will cost Nintendo fans to get their hands on the new system.
