MARVEL SNAP's Season Pass is a monthly Battle Pass filled with in-game currency, cosmetics, and cards. But how does the Free Season Pass differ from the Premium Season Pass, and how do you advance through its levels before the Season ends? We've got answers to those questions and more, in our guide to MARVEL SNAP's Season Pass.
Table of Contents
There are two sides to the Season Pass: the Free Season Pass, which (as it says on the tin) is free, and the Premium Season Pass, which costs $9.99 USD. There's also the Premium+ Pass, which gives an immediate ten level boost to the Premium Pass when purchased - it costs $14.99 USD (or $4.99 USD if you've already purchased the Premium Pass). In other currencies, the cost of the Premium Season Pass is based on conversion rates from USD, so if you live somewhere other than America, the cost could fluctuate from Season to Season.
The Free Season Pass contains mostly in-game currency and some cosmetics. The most recent Season Pass, for the Savage Land Season, contains 2300 Credits, 85 Random Boosters, 300 Gold, two Titles, and a card back - plus whatever you can get from the Season Caches (we'll talk about those later).
Purchasing the Premium Season Pass gives you the Season Pass card as well as three Season Variants, three Season Avatars, a Title, and a card back - the cosmetic rewards are exclusive to their Season's Premium Pass and will not be made available later. It also adds four Mystery Variants, 300 Credits, 900 Gold, and 230 Boosters for the Season Pass card and the cards with Season Variants. All these numbers are based on the contents of the Savage Land Premium Pass.
The Season Pass card, when released, is exclusive to its Season's Premium Pass. After its Season ends, the card is added to Series 5 for one Season. It will then move to Series 4, during the following Season's scheduled Series Drop. In other words, the Season Pass card will be added to Series 4 during the Season that starts eight weeks after its initial release.
Below is a table showing the rewards earned at each level of the Season Pass for the most recent Season, Savage Land, as an example of what to expect from future Season Passes. Since the developers are still iterating on rewards structures, we expect to see small changes from time to time in the Season Pass, but much of it will likely remain the same.
You need to earn 1000 Season Pass XP to move up each level of the Season Pass.

Season Caches
Season Caches are the Season Pass rewards from level 51 upwards, on both the Free and Premium Season Pass. They mainly contain in-game currency, with a small chance of containing a Mystery Variant. In short, you have a 40% chance of earning some amount of Credits, a 40% chance of earning an amount of Boosters, a 15% chance of earning Gold, and a 5% chance of a Variant. The odds, from most likely reward to least likely, look like this:
- 25% chance of 50 Credits
- 25% chance of 10 Boosters
- 10% chance of 100 Credits
- 10% chance of 15 Boosters
- 10% chance of 50 Gold
- 5% chance of 100 Gold
- 5% chance of a Mystery Variant
Chapters and Missions
Each Season of MARVEL SNAP comes with Chapters equal to the number of weeks the Season will last - most Seasons will have four Chapters, but occasionally we will see a five Chapter Season. Chapters unlock at the beginning of each week (at 7 PM PT Monday or 2 AM UTC Tuesday) with three Missions ready to be completed, with an additional Mission unlocking for each of the next few days.
Seasons with four Chapters have seven Missions per Chapter. Each Chapter Mission rewards a chunk of Season Pass XP when completed. Once you've completed all Missions contained within a Chapter, the Chapter will reward you with additional Season Pass XP. In a four Chapter Season, the first three Chapters give 2500 XP when finished, and the fourth Chapter gives 4000 XP when finished.
Each time a Mission unlocks in a Chapter, it comes from the pool of Chapter Missions (seen below). There is no set order for which Missions appear first, but every player unlocks the same Mission.
Below is a list of every Season Chapter Mission, its requirement, and the amount of Season Pass XP granted when completed. The Missions are sorted from least amount of XP given to most.
NOTE: The XP amounts shown below may be subject to change from Season to Season; we will strive to keep them as up-to-date as possible.

Comments
Nice summary. Really don't like they locked every single mystery variant behind paywall. Not that cosmetics are super important, but it is something to look forward to, and in previous season there were 2 on the free track, if my memory serves. I wonder if the sales were so bad they decided for this change or if they are trying to see how much they can push it, I don't know, but not a fan of that decision.
They gave us a cool cardback instead, so it's fine by me
