If you've been slogging through the Harry Potter album in Monopoly GO this January, you know the pain: it's never the commons that block you, it's the golds. You're one card away from a big dice payout and the game just shrugs. That's why I'm treating this Blitz like a proper plan, not a "maybe I'll trade later" situation, and I've even been keeping an eye on Racers Event slots for sale because anything that speeds up progress is worth a look when time windows are this tight.



Dates and the two golds that matter
The Golden Blitz runs January 15 to January 16, and it's basically a 24-hour scramble. Two specific gold stickers get unlocked for trading: Hermione's Arrival (Set 22) and Amortentia (Set 16). If Set 22 has been sitting there mocking you for days, you're not alone. People get stuck there all the time because the drop rates feel brutal. When a deep-set gold becomes tradable, the whole market shifts fast, and you'll see it in every chat and group within minutes.



How Blitz trades actually work in practice
Golden Blitz is simple on paper, but players still waste the window. Once it starts, you'll see the Blitz icon in-game and those two golds become fair game. The key detail: these sends are separate from your regular daily trades. You get five "gold sends" for the featured cards, and you can still use your normal trades for everything else. That means you can swap a couple of golds, then keep wheeling and dealing for the non-golds you're missing without hitting a wall right away.



Trading habits that save you a headache
Don't wait for the final hour. That's when everyone panics, overprices, and goes silent mid-trade. Take a clean screenshot of your duplicates before the event starts, so you can post quickly. If you've got Hermione's Arrival or Amortentia extras, say what you want in one line. No essays. If you're hunting the card instead, try lining up a friend or a reliable trader early, because random comments sections can turn into a mess. Also, don't get star-greedy. Completing a set beats stuffing the vault almost every time.



Closing sets and keeping momentum
Once you land the gold you need, finish that page straight away and take the dice. Then roll while the feeling's good, because momentum matters in this game. If you're short on resources and trying to keep events moving without waiting days for luck to swing back, some players use marketplaces like RSVSR to pick up game items or currency and stay on pace, which can be handy when a Blitz window lines up with big rewards.
