Nintendo.com has included many of the newly announced games in the 2 for $100 voucher. This includes Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, Pikmin 4, Fire Emblem Engage and many other games.
Using this sure beats the $70 price tag on the new Zelda game.
Also to note: these are digital downloads and not the physical version.
Eligible games:

Can't wait for Zelda and my kids love Kirby Dreamland so return would be huge hit

You have to pre-order and active NSO on day pre-order is redeemed (~week prior to rls date)
Something I'm debating on doing is getting Zelda breath of the wild as digital. I have it as physical, but since it's the kind of game you always keep going back to, I'd like to have it as digital so it's always accessible. It's the same reason I have my splatoons as digital.
Normally the best price you can do on Zelda BOTW digital would be around 30 bucks. Here, since I was going to day one Zelda TOTK anyways, it makes BOTW digital $10. And I'd be able to sell my physical BOTW for $30.

Take this deal for example. $79.99 from Costco, with a possibility of 2-4% off, depending on if you have the Executive membership and/or Costco Credit Card. So that's either $78.39 (2%) or $76.79 (4%).
On top of that, when you purchase the vouchers on Nintendo for $99.98, you pay no tax, and also get $5.00 back as credit in your Nintendo Account. So now you're at potentially $76.79 paid, with $5.02 in credit on your account, so $71.77 for two 1st party games, essentially.
Top top this off, with digital, you can share your licenses with another console, so you and a friend/family member can play at the exact same time on two different consoles using the same license.
To do this with physical, you'd be looking at $259.96 + tax, of course you would still get $13.00 back in Nintendo Rewards, so I guess you can take that off, but it's quite a bit more just to have the cases. Might be some other deals going on for physical copies too, but either way, you'll still probably end up at nearly 3x the cost for the exact same outcome, only with physical cases.
To each his own, but just my thought process.

Nope. The voucher is not giftable to another account
Thanks. I bit the bullet and got the Costco GC deal to put towards a couple of these vouchers. Their limit is 3 per account, but if you have two members sharing same membership with different logins that actually doubles up.
