lol the way this has slowly rolled out across retailers shows that there was some sort of last minute memo from nintendo allowing people to reduce prices for Cyber Monday. Sales probably not as strong as they had hoped.

It was super easy.
You order the gift cards like you would any other item you buying online. You wait up to 24 hours for them to email you. You copy/paste the codes they send you into a box on Nintendo's site. You add the switch to cart like you would any other online product and when it asks if you want I apply the gift cards to your total you click OK. Easy.

Total time spent in this should not have taken more than 5 mins total.

Community Reviews

The Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle stands out as a strong launch package, especially when paired with Best Buy price matching or PayPal 20 percent cashback, which can bring the effective cost down by about $50 to $90. The console itself gets praise for solid build quality, excellent rumble, and social features like Game Chat, while the bundle is framed as a better value than buying the system and game separately. The main drawback is the price, especially once extra storage and $60 to $80 games are factored in. A solid bundle if you can catch one of the stacking discounts.

Common Questions (5)

  • The PayPal Pay in 4 payments can be refunded or reduced when Best Buy issues a price adjustment, and the remaining installments may be lowered accordingly. Pending points also showed up after checkout for some purchases, so the promo can still track even if the order total changes.

  • Yes, Pay in 4 has been used successfully on this bundle, and PayPal can adjust the installment amounts after a refund or price match. Keeping the order simple helps, because add-ons like extended insurance, trade-ins, or gift-card partial payments can interfere with eligibility.

    PhoKinG408JaxidianJaxidiangrendel20

  • A workaround mentioned is ordering Best Buy through Uber Eats and paying with Uber Eats gift cards bought at Costco, since those gift cards are discounted. The catch is that Uber Eats pricing for the bundle was reported at $499 and may not include Mario Kart World, so the final value can differ from the Best Buy deal.

    jediknight007AndieNarwhalphatsk807everica1

  • Best Buy can price match its own lower price within the regular return window, and one reported adjustment refunded about $50 on this bundle. The holiday extended return period may not count, so the timing appears to depend on the standard 14- or 30-day window tied to membership.

    JayGoatPhaenonbokehbot

  • It may not appear as a confirmed discount during checkout, but the pending points can still show in PayPal history right after purchase. That makes the promo easy to miss on-screen even when it is actually attached to the order.

I am super pumped for Metroid Prime 4, but that's really the only known game that I am excited for.

And I can play that on my Switch 1

I never got a switch 1 so I was initially excited for the launch but now 6 months after release I realized that the only games i'm interested in playing are all switch 1 games lmao

Same boat here. And, we don't know what the reviews will be like for Metroid Prime 4 yet. Other than that, and maybe Donkey Kong Bonanza, I don't see any reason to buy a switch 2 this year at all. There aren't many exclusive games if you already have a switch. Mario Kart World also isn't as good as MK8 from what most people say.

DK Bananza is the best exclusive on the system.

MK8 had the benefit of getting DLC, a rerelease, and even more DLC. I'd would have been surprised if World was better on launch unless it was made with buttloads of reused content from MK8D and Tour.

Used the 20% PayPal trick at BB. Worked like a charm! PayPal immediately showed the pending points balance

It's literally the fastest-selling console of all time, currently outpacing the PS4's launch sales, what are you talking about lol.

People keep pointing to that like it matters. What matters is whether or not it maintains sales over its lifetime. It has no chance of matching the lifetime sales of the first Switch. So, this whole "fastest selling console in its first few months/year" thing is irrelevant.

So annoying earlier today I ordered one from Walmart using my wife's pay in 4 option for 20% off and returned the one from Best Buy because they wouldn't price match before the price change!

The limit is $-based. Many were limited to $1,350. I saw $800 and $900 reports, too. Somehow, I got $1,500.

I did the earlier 20% off thing with this bundle at Best Buy. They just price matched for me and PayPal reduced the last of the four payments by the ~$50.
