If you've been grinding Monopoly GO lately, you've probably hit that annoying wall: a stack of gold duplicates you can't move, can't trade, can't even feel good about. The good news is the next Golden Blitz lands on January 10, and it's basically a one-day permission slip to do what the album normally won't let you do. If you're also keeping an eye on side competitions like the Racers Event, this is the kind of timing that can actually change how fast you finish a set, because every smart swap saves you from burning more dice later.

Which stickers actually matter this time

Golden Blitz always comes with a catch: you can't trade every gold card, only the two picked for that window. For this run, the focus is on "Ollivander's" and "Pin the Tail". If either of those has been sitting in your "missing" pile, this is your moment. And if you're the one holding extras, you're suddenly the most popular person in your chat. It's wild how fast the mood shifts when the game flips that lock off for a day. People who've ignored their album for weeks show up out of nowhere asking if you've got a spare, and honestly, I get it.

How to send them without messing it up

The trade process isn't complicated, but it helps to know what to look for so you don't waste time tapping around. Open your album from the icon near the GO button, then scroll to the set where "Ollivander's" or "Pin the Tail" lives. During Golden Blitz, that set usually gets a little visual cue, like a shimmer or special glow. Tap your duplicate gold sticker and you should finally see a "Send to Friend" option. Pick who you're sending to, confirm the pop-up, and you're done. If you don't see the button, double-check you're on the right sticker, because only those two are tradable in this window.

Limits, timing, and the smart way to plan

You get 1, then 2, then 3, then 4, then 5 golden trades during the event, and they don't eat into your normal daily trades. That split matters more than people think. It means you can still do your routine swaps for regular cards while using the Golden Blitz slots for the rare stuff. My advice is simple: line up partners before the event starts. Make a short list of who needs what, who's sending first, and what you're giving back. Otherwise you'll spend half the window chasing replies, and the clock doesn't care.

Make the day count

This thing's brief, roughly 24 hours, and once it's over those gold stickers snap right back to being locked. So check your duplicates, message your group, and be ready to move fast when the event goes live. If you're trying to speed up progress beyond trading—like topping up dice, grabbing in-game currency, or picking up useful items—some players use RSVSR for that kind of boost while they're pushing to close sets, and it can pair nicely with a well-timed Golden Blitz swap.
