If you've been living in Monopoly GO lately, you know the weird kind of stress that comes from being one sticker away from a big reward. You keep rolling, you keep opening packs, and that one gold card just won't show up. While you're juggling trades and timing your spins around the Monopoly Go Partners Event, there's finally a real chance to clean up some of the mess: the next Golden Blitz is locked in for January 15–16, 2026, and it's aimed straight at two Harry Potter season golds people won't stop chasing.

What's actually tradeable this time

Golden Blitz always sounds simple until you open the game and realise only two gold stickers matter for that 24-hour window. This round, it's "Hermione's Arrival" (Set 22) and "Amortentia" (Set 16). If either of those is sitting greyed-out in your album, this is your shot. And if you've got extras. Don't sit on them thinking they're worthless. Most days, they are. During Blitz, they're basically currency, and people will pay in missing 5-stars to get them.

Trade limits and the part everyone forgets

You can trade up to five copies of each featured gold during the event. So that's five "Hermione's Arrival" trades and five "Amortentia" trades, separate from your normal daily sends. Sounds generous, but it goes fast. One minute you're replying to someone in a trading group, the next minute they've already found a better deal. Also, folks hit their caps early, then vanish. If you're trying to organise swaps, do it before the timer starts. Screenshot what you've got, write down what you need, and line up a couple backup partners.

How players are getting better deals

People love pretending trades are "fair," but Blitz trades are mostly about leverage. If Set 22 is giving you a headache, "Hermione's Arrival" can pull in almost anything if you catch the right person at the right time. A lot of players will offer 1:1 just to be done with it, especially late in the season when dice rewards matter more than pride. A smart move is to trade early, then use what you gained to finish a set the same day. Don't overthink it. You'll feel the market shift hour by hour.

Get in, make the swap, get out

The biggest mistake is waiting until the last stretch and hoping the chaos works in your favour. It usually doesn't. Have your asks ready, keep your chat notifications on, and be willing to move quick when a clean trade appears. If you plan to grind hard that week, this Blitz pairs nicely with the extra momentum players get during the Monopoly Go Partners Event buy, because finishing a set at the right moment can turn into a pile of dice you can actually use, not just stare at.
