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.

Props to the OP for sharing but this was the biggest pain to deal with. Costco cancelled my order 4 times. I spent an hour and a half on the phone with them. First, hour was a waste with first Costco rep but second rep fixed it in 20 mins after I pushed back. Now, I have $1600 in pending charges on my credit card still. Then, once I finally got the codes, Nintendo was giving me error after error trying to add half of the gift cards to my account. Nintendo support was of no help.

The savings was not worth the headache and 5 hrs of my time dealing with this espeically because this wasn't even a must on my kids' lists. I should have just bought a Sam's membership.

Can these be used for Nintendo Switch Online?

Also, can you buy and item on eShop to gift to another account?
Yes, you can use your gift card balance to purchase an NSO subscription, and no, you can't buy something digitally and gift it to others (but you can use your balance to buy physical products).

I had a similar time-wasting ordeal trying to do the PayPal method. This Costco method was seamless and no wait time, so you're probably due for your next SD to go perfectly smooth. 😁

The deal appears to be dead. Costco keeps cancelling my order of the gift cards. Confirmed via a separate email from Costco.

Before I bought these, I wanted to check the balance of an eShop gift card I already had on my account. It shows up just fine in the eShop, accessed from the console, but it does NOT show up as an option on Nintendo.com when I try to buy hardware.

According to every other article I've found, including Nintendo, eShop gift cards are for digital purchases ONLY through the console store. How are people getting these to show up as currency on Nintendo's website?
