Taxes for me is $46.25 .. it might be worth buying $600 GCs instead of $500.
Logic:
$500 GC but then you pay $46.25 in cash.

Alternate:
$600 GC then you have leftover balance of $53.75

Difference:
You paid $80 in cash instead of $46.25 but that extra $33.75 got you $53.75 in balance.

That may be great deal for a lot of people.

Here's a couple of "hacks" to save some additional money when using Nintendo GCs for eShop games.

1. While in the eShop, click on your profile settings and change your billing zip code to a state with no sales tax. I just use a random zip code from Montana. Nintendo only goes off of that zip code when you use your available eShop balance to purchase games.

2. Nintendo game vouchers can still be purchased until the end of January and can be used on some new releases like Metroid Prime 4 and Pokemon Legends Z-A.

For example, the Switch 2 version of Metroid Prime 4 is normally $69.99. However, by using this Costco GC deal, you could get a two-pack of game vouchers on the eShop for basically $80. You can redeem one of those vouchers for the Switch 1 version of Metroid Prime, meaning you're getting the base game for $40. Then you can buy the upgrade pack separately for $9.99. So you'd have the Switch 2 version of Metroid Prime for $49.99, a savings of $20.

You can also use vouchers in a similar manner for good savings on older titles with Switch 2 versions. For example, the Switch 2 version of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is normally $79.99. However, using this Costco GC deal, you can use a a voucher to get the base version of the game for $40, and then buy the the upgrade pack separately for $9.99, for a total of $49.99 and a $30 savings.

For those, like me, waiting for the codes from Costco, any advice on getting it unstuck? Is it just a matter of waiting?

So my recommendation to you is to call. The wait time was about 6 minutes for me. Call 800-955-2292 (got this number from the app). Go through the automated prompts and i still wanted a person so I kept hitting 0.Once connected They looked my order up and said it was on a production hold.The first level agent cant really assist and initiated a chat with the "production team" but when i didnt get the security text they connected me with the production team where i had to answer 3 questions. (Similar to like login.gov and other agencies that require external ID verification).Good luck
And that pushed the order through?

Nintendo website support chat says:
"To answer your question, no, a Nintendo eShop balance cannot be used to directly purchase physical consoles. The balance is specifically for digital content, such as downloadable games, add-on content (DLC), and subscriptions, within the Nintendo eShop."

100% recommend this if you are waiting. They said that if I hadn't called, no one would have let me know, and they would have canceled it. The person I spoke with was able to get it pushed through production and she said I should have it in 1-2 hours. Fingers crossed...

About 6 hours now. Still in limbo. Anyone else?
It's been about 3 hours for me... Haven't had any luck with this. Sams Club cancelled, Costco isn't delivering. Odd.

Can anyone confirm that they actually purchased a console with these? I keep seeing different answers.

I would like to clarify that, from our side, we can confirm that Nintendo does not allow the use of Nintendo eShop funds as a form of payment when purchasing physical consoles. These funds are specifically intended for digital transactions within the Nintendo eShop, such as games or downloadable content, and cannot be applied toward hardware purchases.

Well unless all of our orders get cancelled by Nintendo then i'd say they are wrong and should familiarize themselves with their own site(s)

Does anyone know if eShop cards can actually be spent on My Nintendo store hardware? From what I'm reading Nintendo doesn't treat their gift cards like Apple, Xbox, etc where it can be spent on anything. It reads like eShop gift cards can only be put towards downloadable software. Would like to be wrong about that but putting that out there as a warning for people.

Why are you all supporting Nintendo with their $80 game remakes and predatory tactics? What can the Switch 2 do that the Switch OLED can't?
