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.

I mean, that is a pretty slick way to get a discount on a switch 2. But the whole point of buying consoles these days would be able to return them if there's any issue with them. That would be the whole appeal of buying them at Costco. Even if you have to pay full price, it's like having a bank account in a way. Even if there's no discount I might rather be able to buy it from a store where I knew I could return it whenever and get all my money back. There is no 90-day return limit for video game consoles at Costco.

Does Costco still have the problem with virtual gift cards already being redeemed/invalid? I got multiple Xbox virtual gift cards a few years ago and they were all used. I was refunded but it was a hassle.

Not a fan of "cash back" where I can only spend the credit at the store. In this deal, I never paid the extra $100!

I had gotten in on the Sam's Club deal and my console has yet to ship. I used the Costco deal to increase my Nintendo balance for other "considerations" such as paying for online service or future sales on games.

I did end up calling Costco and they said my order was on "hold" after nearly 2 hours of waiting. After the hold was lifted, I got the codes within 15 minutes. Redeeming the codes was easier than the Sam's Club deal as I simply clicked on every code that took me to the Nintedo site where I simply "Add funds".

Be sure your name, billing, and shipping address are the same else Costco will cancel the order
I always have trouble with Costco Nintendo gift cards. I have to call Costco to fix them every time. I have everything correct too. (Call if more than a few hours go by.)

+1 to everyone that said to call if you haven't received your gift cards. Call, be nice, they call the "backend" team, who sends you a text message and tell you it's all set. 10min later you have the cards in your email. Then all you have to do is click the code and it is automatically added to your account with a single button from Nintendo's website - no copy/pasting. Get 3x of the 200 deal, get yourself a switch, get the wheels, cover the tax, and you'll have some change left for a case or something when they come back in stock.
Thanks for the post.

Either it is me, or Nintendo is getting hammered. I cannot enter gift cards or see my cart on Nintendo site.

Pretty annoying that I have to call to get my gift cards. This should be automatic and instant.

How long did everyone have to wait on the call?

I had the same issue, got all the $50 ones loaded via Chrome, so up to $400 there and then kept getting an error. Went to Edge browser and was able to load the rest. I think this is a security mechanism on their side.

Peeps, you can spend $20 for a Sam's Club membership and walk in and just buy gift cards at 20% off. That's what I did. I wasted 5 hours trying to buy from Costco unsuccessfully

I just tried buying a single pack of 4 $25 cards but after getting the confirmation email I got a cancellation email from Costco saying "Quantity limits on item exceeded". This is, uh, a lie. I bought one other 4 x $25 pack a week ago, but it says there is only a limit of 10 every 14 days. Is Costco just cancelling all of them now? I guess I'll try my wife's account. I'm not trying to get a Switch 2, just some eShop funds.

My second order was cancelled too. I was told that it is one transaction involving these cards per 14 day period. Not how I understood the limit, but oh well.

Interesting. So, you can have one transaction of 10 units but can't have two transactions 7 days apart of 1 unit each? That makes no sense. But thanks for the explanation.
