Question

If you buy a digital version of the card you will get the code in the mail. I can’t say if you can then redeem the code in your country, but they sell $5 digital versions of the card so you should try that low cost one first and attempt to redeem. If it works, you can just buy more.

When you buy it online. The place where you bought it will send you the code through your email. And if you buy it in person you get the gift card and scratch off the back and you will get the code.

Sway · Answer

I'm assuming you are referring to online cards. If so, then yes I you be emailed shortly after with a code to use. Granted you should be aware of were you are buying from as the the cards will work for that region. So if you set up your switch as if your in North America than the card you buy here should be good.

At least in North America the code on the back of an eShop gift card is valid once you purchase it. I am just a random guy on the internet so I don't know if there is a fine print associated with the eShop gift card that prevents a purchased gift card from being used legally. If your country is not supported by Nintendo you may not be able to access the eShop to enter in the code but I don't know.

Yes of course, you get the code in the gift card you already paid.

Welovethem · Answer

Yes if you still have the card.

GamerFromJump · Answer

Make sure you select the version that has [Digital] in the name. This should have a code emailed to you. Search “eShop digital” for the appropriate card. 

Also, make sure you buy the appropriate card for your country settings. The ones sold here are for US accounts, and won’t work for EU or Japan accounts.

Ponch · Answer

You would have to know some one and have them buy it for you and give you code

Stef · Answer

I'm not sure in your country but the cards here usually have the codes on the card itself. They're usually on the back and you scratch off the covering to reveal the code beneath. It's a safety feature so when you're buying them you know it has not been used. I would assume that it would be the same world wide but of course I'm not sure. Good luck, I hope it works for you! :-)

It takes about an hour or less to arrive. It’s not always immediately delivered but rarely takes an hour.

Irishpunk62 · Answer

I believe this is for the purchase of the actual card, not a code.

Ramon · Answer

Yes, but only the digital versions.

Nick · Answer

The code is on the card so you would need to physically get the card to use the code, if that makes sense.

Ohjustme · Answer

The code is on the card. Once you buy it. They unlock it for you. And you put in the code through the eshop. And the credit is on your account.or who ever account.

Just scratch off and viola!

Momo · Answer

The code is on the back of the gift card. It is not activated until after you purchase it, though. I think if tou buy it online, you will have a code sent to you digitally, by email.
