Earning 5,000 Nook Miles in One Day¶
It is possible to earn 5,000 Nook Miles in one day, and it won’t actually be too difficult. This means you can pay off your bill to Nook straight away!
You can earn Nook Miles easily in your first few days, as there will be lots of new things to try out that will reward you with Nook Miles. Catching Bugs and Fish, as well as selling weeds will help you reach the 5,000 Miles mark.

This is a guideline on some of the easiest ways to earn Nook Miles, but you will find that just by completing different tasks, you’ll unlock achievements all the time (when you first start playing). There are plenty of other ways to unlock the required miles, but these are just examples of some of the early game achievements.
Paying Off Your Debt¶
Once you have 5,000 miles, head over to Tom Nook in the Residential Services facility, and talk to him about your moving fees. You can then confirm that you’re ready to pay off your debt. He will then offer to upgrade your tent to a more permanent residency if you would prefer.
It feels good to be debt free!
Upgrading your Home¶
After you’ve paid off your moving debt, you can speak to Nook again to discuss upgrading your home. Upgrading your tent to a house will cost you 98,000 Bells. Luckily for you, Nook gives you as much time as you need to pay of your debt, and it’s interest free!
Nook will also give you the opportunity to customize the color of your roof. You get to choose from a variety of bright colors, or you can pick something more traditional.
Upgrading your house means you also get an automatic Nook Mileage Program upgrade! The Nook Miles+ means you have daily tasks that will earn you Nook Miles, which means you don’t always have to be completing achievements. The tasks will include things like catching a few bugs or planting a tree! They’re an easy way to earn miles.
Your house renovation will be finished by the following day!
