Since the launch of My Nintendo, users have been able to collect two types of coins. Members have been able to collect Platinum Points as well as Gold Points. With both, they were valid for six months after you collected them, and would expire after that.

Good news: Nintendo has now made a change to My Nintendo, and Gold Coins will last longer than before. Going forward, they’ll be valid for 12 months.

Here’s the official notice from Nintendo:
