So maybe I'm just dumb and can't figure it out, but do digital purchases count retroactively towards points, or is it basically anything from this point forward?

Also how do I get points for physical games? The My Nintendo site isn't really clear...though again maybe I'm just missing something.

It seems to be only from thsi point foward unfortunelly, otherwise I would have gained alot of gold coins by now.

For the physical side, my guess is that once the game has been detected on your Switch, since an account is mandatory to be tied to a Switch/profile for internet use, once you access the internet with your Switch, it gets automatically detected and thus gives you the gold coins.
