Progress & Rewards
Coins & Shopping
Every way to earn coins, what they buy, and the daily limits. Coins are only ever earned in the game, never bought.
Coins are Club NYC’s money. You start with 50, and everything you do around the city can earn more. Your balance is always at the top right of the screen.
Earning Coins
| How | Coins | How often |
|---|---|---|
| Jobs | Depends on how you do | Every shift (up to 1,500 a day in all) |
| Multiplayer games | 3 to 20 | Every match (up to 300 a day) |
| Daily refill | 10 to 40 | Once a day |
| New in Town | 110 in all | Once (your first day) |
| Today in the City | 15 each, plus 25 for all three | Every day |
| Dance Jam tips | 20 | Each jam, up to 8 a day |
| Every 5th stamp | 25 | Every 5 stamps |

The Daily Refill
The first time you drop by the city each day (New York time), your MetroCard gets a free refill. It grows with each day you visit in the same week:
| Visit this week | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Refill | 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 | 30 | 35 | 40 |
It’s not a streak: missing a day never takes anything away, the count just doesn’t go up. Every week starts fresh on Monday. Visiting all seven days in a week earns the Regular stamp, and visiting on 30 different days earns True New Yorker.
Daily Limits
So nobody can farm coins with a script, the city has daily limits (New York time). They’re far above what a keen player earns:
- Job pay: up to 1,500 coins a day.
- Multiplayer game prizes: up to 300 coins a day.
- Everything else (challenges, tips, refills, bonuses): up to 600 coins a day.
If you reach a limit, you’ll see a note like “That’s all the coins the city hands out today. Even New York has a budget.” Your scores and XP still count. Coins start again tomorrow.
