That's it, your exchange is on ✅.

If there's a problem with some cards (the famous “impossible to exchange this sticker”), we'll explain why right below.

A few tips for successful exchanges :

  • always agree with your partner before sending a card,
  • promote fair trade (a card of similar value in return)
  • team up with active players who are looking for the same sets as you.

These reflexes significantly improve your gaming experience and prevent you from wasting your 5 daily transactions.

How do you exchange cards in Monopoly GO?

Since albums appeared in the game, there has been a system for exchanging stickers.

In fact, you can exchange duplicate cards in your various album sets. But there are some restrictions:

  • You can do Up to 5 card exchanges per day. This limit only applies to the exchanges you initiate, as you can receive up to 50.
  • You cannot exchange gold cards.

These are the only restrictions, but they can easily prevent you from trading.

Why is it sometimes "impossible to trade this sticker" on Monopoly GO?

Indeed, you may not be able to exchange certain cards on Monopoly GO, and there are several reasons for this:

  • You have reached your daily exchange limit in fact, you can send 5 stickers per day maximum :

  • You are trying to exchange a gold sticker, but it is impossible. You cannot exchange your gold cardsexcept during Golden Blitz (and not all cards):

As you can see, I have a duplicate 4-star gold card, but I can't give away this sticker because it's a gold card.

  • The person you want to give the card to has not yet unlocked the album (“has not yet unlocked the Albums!”):

If your friend is new to Monopoly GO and hasn't progressed far enough yet, you won't be able to give them stickers. Tell them to play a little more so you can send them cards.

  • The person has not yet released the prestige albums ! After completing the regular album once, you unlock the Prestige Album, which includes the same sets plus additional sets. You can then repeat this Prestige Album as many times as you like until the end of the season, but no new sets beyond that. So, if you want to send a Prestige Page card to someone, it won't be possible, as they're still on the first album. The error message will read:
Illustration Monopoly GO prestige exchange impossible
Error message: Prestige pages not unlocked for friend on Monopoly GO. Emeline for Alucare.fr

As you can see, it says "Received the maximum daily amount. Sticker returned!", which means that the person has not yet unlocked the prestige pages.

Where can I redeem Monopoly GO cards?

Sometimes your friends don't have the cards you're looking for. So this can definitely block you from progressing in your Monopoly GO album.

What is star trading on Monopoly GO?

Star trading involves send a card your friend already owns.

Instead of receiving the sticker, he receives stars corresponding to the rarity of the card (from 1 to 5 for normal cards, double for gold cards), which he accumulates to open the chests in the Album menu. These chests contain dice, sticker packs, and the most expensive chest (Gold Chest) can contain Wild Stickers.

  • In concrete terms, two players agree in advance: one sends the missing card, the other sends back an agreed number of stars in the form of duplicates. It's a widely-used mutual aid practice.
  • The only informal rule: always agree before sending, to avoid sending unsolicited duplicates to someone expecting a specific card.

FAQs

Can I swap 5 ⭐ cards on Monopoly GO?

Yes, except the golden ones which are only exchanged during Golden Blitzes.

In practice, the regular 5 stars are the hardest to obtain by exchange, as everyone is looking for them at the same time. The most effective solution is to expand your network. Our Discord has 49k active players.

How many trades can I make per day on Monopoly GO?

You can initiate up to 5 exchanges per day, but you can receive up to 50. The limit of 5 therefore only applies to exchanges you initiate yourself.

Why can't you exchange a card?

Four possible causes:

  • you have reached your daily limit of 5 exchanges,
  • YOU try to exchange a gold card,
  • your friend has not yet unlocked Albums,
  • your friend has not yet unlocked the prestige pages.

The details of each error are explained earlier in the article.

How do I find exchange partners?

Several options:

  • the game's official Facebook group,
  • Reddit (r/Monopoly_GO, r/MonopolyGoTrading).

The fastest in our opinion : our Discord with 49k active players.

How to avoid exchange scams?

Always use the secure exchange option (Safe Trade) when you trade with a stranger.

The principle is that each player offers his or her card, and the exchange is concluded only if both confirm. If the other player refuses, your card is immediately returned to you. If he doesn't respond, you can manually cancel the proposal after 2 hours (otherwise it automatically expires at 24:00). If you cancel before the daily reset, your sending quota is even restored and you can use this exchange slot again.

To be preferred whenever you leave your circle of close friends.

What time do exchanges reset?

Sources don't agree on a single time. Some say midnight UTC, others 8am UTC, and Scopely has never officially confirmed this.

⚠️ We recommend that you test directly in-game and note the time at which your 5 exchanges returned. Share your observation in the comments, we'll update!

Now you know everything there is to know about sticker trading!

  1. Hello,

    I'm seriously starting to despair with card trading, mainly 4 and 5 stars. Almost 10 days at the same stage and it's almost impossible to complete sets 9 to 21. Everyone is looking for the same cards, so nothing is moving forward. Still 40 cards to find, pffff.
