If you’re like me, your phone lights up several times a day with dice rolls, events, and the thrill of completing sticker albums in Monopoly GO. But as each season winds down or a new event kicks off, one question always comes up: should you save or spend your extra Monopoly Go Stickers?
Over countless sticker trades, grinding events, and watching my albums fill (and sometimes stall at 91%), I’ve learned a few things that might help you decide when to hold ’em and when to trade ’em. Below are four common scenarios, explained with insights from both personal experience and the game’s dynamics.
1. You’re Near the End of a Sticker Album
If you're within a handful of stickers from completing your album, it’s often worth spending your extra Monopoly Go Stickers—especially during an active event that offers wild stickers, high trade values, or boosted milestones. I’ve completed two albums this way, leveraging short-term sticker boosts to trade aggressively.
However, keep in mind: as you get closer to the end, the missing stickers are usually 4-star or 5-star rarities. You may not want to part with duplicates of these unless you're getting a 1:1 trade. If you're only missing gold cards, saving might be smarter unless a wild sticker event is active.
2. There's a New Event with Trade Boosts
When an event like “Sticker Boom” or “Golden Blitz” arrives, your surplus stickers suddenly become much more valuable. During these times, I’ve made up to double the usual trade returns for stickers that had sat unused for weeks. This is the perfect window to unload excess inventory for needed cards or to help others in your trade groups.
If you're planning to buy Monopoly Go Stickers, doing so during an event with active bonuses ensures maximum return on your investment. You might even hold off on trading until the next bonus event hits.
3. You’re Far from Completion and a New Album Is Coming
This is where saving shines. If you're not even halfway through your album and a new one is expected soon, it makes sense to hoard your Monopoly Go Stickers—especially the rare ones. In previous seasons, I've seen players burn through their inventories right before a new album launched, only to regret not having trade fodder for the new set.
Personally, I prefer to hang on to valuable stickers in the final week of a season unless I’m actively pushing for a big milestone reward. They come in handy during the first days of a new album when trading is hot and sticker values are inflated.
4. You Want to Help Others in Trade Communities
One of the most rewarding parts of Monopoly GO is the community. Whether you're in a Facebook group or part of a sticker exchange Discord, helping others with your extras can build valuable trade relationships. I’ve given away duplicates during off-season lulls, and those players often return the favor later.
That said, only do this when you’ve decided your own goals are met. Generosity is great—but not at the cost of your own progress.
In the end, whether to save or spend extra Monopoly Go Stickers depends on your album progress, current in-game events, and trading strategy. My best advice? Stay flexible. Sometimes the smartest move is holding tight. Other times, a well-timed trade or purchase can put you back in the game.
