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. With the Golden Blitz landing on January 10, people are already lining up swaps and planning who to message first, and if you're also juggling extra event planning (or just trying to stay ahead), it's worth keeping an eye on Racers Event slots buy options so your timing doesn't get messy when everything pops off at once.

Two stickers everyone's chasing

This blitz isn't a free-for-all. It's laser-focused on two gold stickers: "Ollivander's" and "Pin the Tail." That's the whole point—normally those gold cards are welded to your account. You can pull three copies and still watch your friend sit there one short, and there's nothing you can do about it. Golden Blitz is the rare moment the game loosens up and actually lets those two names become tradable, so if you've got extras, you're suddenly the most popular person in the group chat.

How to trade without overthinking it

You don't need a trick. Just open your album (tap the icon near the GO button) and look for the set that contains "Ollivander's" or "Pin the Tail." During the event, that set usually gets a noticeable shine or little animation—easy to spot once you're looking for it. Tap the gold duplicate you want to move and you should see "Send to Friend" show up where it normally wouldn't. Pick the right person, double-check you're sending the correct sticker, confirm the pop-up, and you're done. People mess up here by rushing, so slow down for two seconds and you'll save yourself a lot of regret.

Limits, timing, and the smart way to plan

There's still a cap, but it's not brutal. You get up to five Golden Blitz trades during the event, and those five are separate from your normal daily trades. That means you can keep helping your crew with regular stickers and still push gold swaps on top, which is huge if you're trying to close multiple sets quickly. The real enemy is the clock: it's roughly a 24-hour window. So line up partners in advance, ask what they need, and decide your order. Start with the trades that complete sets first, because the dice and rewards you get back can help you keep rolling while everyone else is scrambling.

Make the day count

When the window shuts, "Ollivander's" and "Pin the Tail" go right back to being locked, and all that momentum disappears. Check your duplicates now, set a reminder for January 10, and don't wait until the last hour when replies slow down and trades get messy. If you're the type who likes having resources ready before a big push—extra items, quick top-ups, that sort of thing—some players also use RSVSR for game-related purchases so they can stay focused on trading instead of scrambling mid-event.
