How to get lots of cotton (or wood, steel, preserves, and paper) in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp

Nintendo has a great method for keeping players engaged, which is to offer special rewards for completing certain missions on a regular basis. If you complete weekly missions in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, you'll be rewarded with Platinum Points that can be redeemed for in-game items like exclusive outfits or materials that you can use to craft furniture. Here's how to redeem your points.

If you haven't already done so, be sure to link your Nintendo Account with Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. This not only gives you Leaf Tickets and saves a backup of your game, but it also connects you to your My Nintendo rewards so you can redeem your points.

  1. Launch Animal: Crossing Pocket Camp on your iPhone or iPad
  2. Tap the More tab in the bottom right corner of the screen.
  3. Tap My Nintendo.
  4. Tap Create/Link Nintendo Account.
  5. Enter your login credentials for your Nintendo Account.

If you don't already have a Nintendo Account, you can create one now.
