Bug-Off!

The Nook Miles you’ll earn is dependent on how many Bug-Offs you’ve already competed in. Your first will earn you 300 miles, then 500 miles, then 1,000 miles and once you’ve participated in all Bug-Offs, you will earn 2,000 miles.

Like the Bug-Offs, the Nook Miles earned for these achievements are dependent on how many other seasonal tourneys you’ve already participated in. Your first will earn you 300 miles, then 500 miles, then 1,000 miles and once you’ve participated in all fishing tournaments, you will earn 2,000 miles.
