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.
PayPal can show pending rewards points shortly after purchase and later deposit them into the account.
PayPal Pay in 4 can reduce the final payment after a price match refund is applied.
Best Buy price matching can work within the return window while PayPal adjusts the Pay in 4 payments.
Game Chat can act as a social "killer app" by letting players share screens and voice chat with another Switch 2.
The bundle can feel too expensive once extra storage needs and game keycard pricing are factored in.
Mario Kart World can feel underwhelming compared with expectations, and DK Bonanza can feel repetitive.
Best Buy price matching may be restricted for high-demand products, including cases where Walmart has the same sale.
Pay in 4 eligibility can break when the order includes trade-ins, extended insurance, or gift card redemption steps.

It's original MSRP was $449
The switch may have been unique for it's time but the price hike to $80 per game and literally nothing new about this system probably it's making this click on a lot of people's head.
I have a little cousin who mentioned his dad told him he already has a switch so he doesn't need a second one. Nintendo is just banking on the fan base to donate their money to them to keep them afloat
I clicked on 'Save offer' for "20% cash back on one Pay Later purchase with PayPal" in my PayPal account. When I checked out on BestBuy site, PayPal's pay schedule is ($449+tax) / 4. I'm not sure where I can check and see that this Switch 2 purchase from BestBuy was eligible for that "Pay Later" (a.k.a. "Pay in 4") promo.

MKW is a download, and it's their game, the cost to Nintendo is basically maintaining their servers, which they already have to do anyway. There's no reason Nintendo couldn't have launched with just the bundle at $449, no base console which most people didn't buy anyway, if the tariff was that bad for them. Nintendo could have avoided most of the negative commentary if they just left games at $70 max, and did the bundle at $449. To most people, $100 over the previous console wouldn't have been that bad if they felt they were getting something with an included $70 game.
It's just one of those things that happen when you get someone in charge of Nintendo of Japan who care more about the financials than what people think. Did people forget where the current head of Nintendo came from?
Update: Points hit my account about 2 days ago and they've been deposited into my bank. By far this was the best deal on this bundle I've seen all season.
