The Ultimate Guide to Coin Master Card Trading
Completing card sets is arguably the most effective way to earn thousands of Coin Master Free Spins at once. But if you rely purely on chests, you will eventually hit a wall. Here is your ultimate guide to mastering the trading system.
1. The Basics of Card Collection
Before you start trading, you need to understand where cards come from. Cards are found inside Chests (Wooden, Golden, and Magical). You can buy these chests using coins, or earn them by raiding other villages and completing events. As you move up in villages, you unlock new card sets.
If you want to know what the absolute hardest cards to pull are, check out our guide on the Top 10 Rarest Cards in Coin Master.
2. How to Trade Regular Cards
Trading is simple if your game is linked to Facebook. Once linked, you can send up to 5 duplicate cards a day to your Facebook friends. But what if your friends don't have the cards you need? You need to join the community.
- Facebook Groups: There are official and unofficial Facebook groups with millions of members specifically for trading. You simply post a screenshot of the card you need and the duplicates you have to offer.
- Trading Etiquette: Always send the card you promised. Scammers get banned quickly from these groups. We wrote a dedicated guide on How to Trade Cards Safely in Facebook Groups to protect your account.
3. The Golden Trade Restriction
The most confusing aspect of trading for beginners is the Gold Card. You cannot trade Gold Cards normally. They are locked to your account.
The only time you can trade them is during a special, time-limited event. Curious when that might be? Read our breakdown on When is the next Golden Card Trade Event? for our predictions and tracking strategies.
4. The Strategy for Buying Chests
Don't just buy random chests. If you are missing a 1-star or 2-star card, buy Wooden Chests. If you are missing a 4-star or 5-star card, buy Magical Chests. It sounds obvious, but many players waste millions of coins buying the wrong tier of chest for the card they need.
Pro Tip: Wait for the "Card Boom" event before you spend your hard-earned coins on chests. During Card Boom, every chest contains 50% more cards!
