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.
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.
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.
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.

Until they start producing several quality exclusives for the Switch 2, there is little reason to make the jump from the Switch 1.
I was skeptical, but our kids are loving being able to share screens & do voice chat with a friend who also has a Switch 2. The social dynamic seems a lot closer to how I remember it feeling playing single player games with friends growing up.

Nintendo is super successful, but we don't have to cape for them so hard.
I am a diehard Ninty fan and have owned every previous console, most of them on day one. I just can't with the insane Ninty tax anymore.
Even if the games were like $50-60 and the accessories similarly priced, I could maybe justify it.
It's only going to get worse when they start pushing first party games as key cards, and now you're tasked with spending $150+ for a large enough microsd express card to hold more than 2 games.
Suddenly you're out $1,000 and all you have got to show for it is more stick drift and a worse Mario Kart than 8 Deluxe.
