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.
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.
Congrats on the FP deal

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?
My eShop balance does show up under my Nintendo.com login, and I can use the eShop balance I have to purchase digital games through the website, but it tells me it's not available for hardware and eShop credits cannot be applied to purchase.
Is there perhaps a difference in these gift cards and previous promotional eShop credits?
