Nook Miles

Nook Miles are a type of currency introduced in. For completing various activities on the island, the player will earn miles that can be exchanged for items. It is an indirect successor to the Nook Points programs from and, though in those cases points were mainly tied to purchases at Tom Nook's store.

Shortly after arriving on the island, Tom Nook explains that the player must accumulate 5,000 Nook Miles in order to cover their tent and initial move-in fees (stated to be an alternative to paying 49,800 Bells, though it is not actually possible to pay in Bells). The app upgrades to Nook Miles+ (additional daily goals) after the player completes the initial redemption and takes out a loan for a house.

Nook Miles may be subsequently redeemed via the Nook Stop for a variety of items, capabilities, and recipes, including tool ring access, pocket “organization guides” (which increase inventory capacity), pro features in the NookPhone’s custom design app, new haircuts, Bell Vouchers (at the rate of 3,000 Bells to 500 Nook Miles), Nook Miles Tickets, DIY recipes for fences and furniture, outdoor furniture items, and various Nook Inc. collectibles.
