There are 96 nook miles challenges, here's all of them listed here along with how far along I have achieved them!
Because of how many nook miles there are and due to me typing out every single entry, this will not be updated every day like the other pages in my animal crossing directory. This will be updated whenever I remember. (It does help that nook miles are date stamped in-game)
