Nintendo - eShop $50 Gift Card [Digital]

I bought this card online so I could use the code in the e-shop and get a game I wanted digitally. I didn’t have to go out to a store, and there is also the added benefit that I can take this game wherever my switch goes!

I didn’t feel like going out to a store. This was an easy alternative. I claimed the credit into the e-shop and got the game I wanted in a matter of about 10 minutes.

Previously, I got a $10 eShop card and it worked. Decided to get a $35 eShop card. Easy transaction and easy to use. I didn't experience any technically difficulties. They email you the code and I was able to use the code successfully on my Nintendo Switch. :-)

While the digital sale and aquirement of the card is almost seamless and without hassle, the only requirement is a bestbuy.com account, the use on the Nintendo eShop in terms of the Wii U are rather limiting with only a single system of the Virtual Console allowing one to obtain more than a single game. All others will have some money left and even then it would not be an even purchase with some change left.

The entire point of digital products is so I don’t have to leave my home especially with everything going on today. The best part is the denomination for eShop cards are as little as $5! I only needed that much for a game I wanted to buy from the eShop.

You can maximize your return on this product by purchasing on BBY.com w/ your BBY Credit Card for max rewards points. Then later, by providing a review to get a few extra points. Then, when you load the card to your eShop account, you will receive eShop coins for discounts on future eShop purchases!

I got this to get the Pokémon Home Service. It gets the job done, and if you put it in via the Switch eShop, you can’t screw up, because the lookalike characters are greyed out. Keep in mind, Virginia addresses get charged tax, so get enough credit to cover that (7%).

I prefer not to have my debit or credit card information on any gaming platform if possible because some may be able to hack a company’s website and steal your information. If you get a prepaid card you do not have to worry about that.
