Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nook Miles rewards - How to unlock them all

(Image credit: Nintendo)

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nook Miles Rewards are a great way to really rack up the Miles. They basically work out as the game's achievements, or trophy, scheme. They are tick boxes that you can work towards in the game, and come in the form of short and long term goals to aim for that will earn you Nook Miles. These are a brand new currency for New Horizons, and the rewards are something to tick off and achieve, with some being secret until you work out how to unlock them.

With that in mind, below we've listed every single Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nook Miles Rewards we've unlocked, and the Nook Miles you're given for achieving each one. If you discover any that we're missing from Animal Crossing: New Horizons, feel free to let us know in the comments below.

Note: this doesn't include any of the rotating daily Nook Miles+ Rewards that will appear once you've paid off your initial moving fees for relocating to the island.
