What are Nook Points?

ACNH - Nook Points
Nook Points are a daily reward for using NookLink, which you can then exchange for exclusive items that you can send over to your game.

How to Get Nook Points

Time Travel

The Game8 team has found that you can time travel to redeem Nook Points! Do this by changing the date and time on your smartphone!

However, you'll only be able to time travel one day backward and one day forward from the present day.

*Example: If today is April 1, you can only time travel to March 31 and April 2.

Error: You Can't Earn Any Nook Points Right Now

ACNH - An error messaging reading You can
Time traveling beyond a day forward or backward may lead to an error screen.

Get Double or Triple Nook Points

ACNH - A message informing the player that they got triple the Nook Points for the day
If you're lucky, there's a chance to get double (2x) or triple (3x) the amount of Nook Points in one day!

Although this seems random, Katrina's fortunes might play a role in this. We'll let you know if we figure out a pattern!
