Then I used gxc to cover the remaining tax, which was the second best option found via cardbear...
It didnt require photo ID and Selfie (That's enough to gain access to even M2A accounts).
$35.44 for $40 gcx Giftcards.

I am not seeing the bonus $20 gift card for each $150. How did you get it in your cart?

I ended up going the slew of annoying amazon $10 gift card purchases since i already had $223ish in my Nintendo account…definitely annoying but saved a few dollars versus Newegg and didnt have to do the insane ID share. Similarly have $9ish leftover (because i didnt want to risk adding a credit card and somehow locking my billing address away from the current Delaware zip code lol).

Besides the two limit transaction, you were able to do multiple back to back orders for the $10 gift cards?

I ended up making 16 total orders (15 w/2; 1 w/1) where two of the orders i was told TWICE by customer service chats they would be cancelled (once in chat before the transactions cleared; once after they cleared/charged my amazon CC). I had 4 or 5 total orders that were held obviously by amazon for review and one that chase flagged (that one i just had to approve the charge via chase email then "update" the payment method to the same card and it cleared/codes sent immediately). The second CS rep said the two transactions would be cancelled/refunded within 48 hours, which i am assuming will not happen as told twice and i will have to contact their support again (they emailed me the codes but I haven't used them; I don't need more Nintendo credit lying around).
Long story short - yes you appear to be able to make unlimited orders spaced out within reason. I would try spacing your orders by at least 5 or 10 minutes if possible to avoid being flagged (which will likely still happen - try chatting the Alexa shopping thing to try get the transactions unflagged/reviewed…it might have been coincidence but about 10 minutes after i did that the 4 pending orders in limbo magically all approved/sent to me).
Right, but CardCenter wants your photoID and a Selfie. It's not worth the risk of identify impersonation. I could see requiring it for sellers, but not buyers.
I was really disappointed that I couldn't let myself take that risk for a better deal. Its tempting.

I saw that deal as well, but it seemed like they were to be mailed to you... and I didn't think to make separate transactions. I probably would have went the new egg route and then grabbed the reminder from Amazon with this approach.
Were you stacking cards for the switch 2 console purchase as well?
I honestly just wanted to get ahead of the price increase/the supposed death of the choose your own bundle. I don't think I'll be able to touch it for a few months.

This Newegg deal comes out to 11.8% off
So unless you are using a card that earns extra points at Newegg, this deal is a no-go.

I bought the Switch 2 Console Bundle off the Nintendo Store via...
New Egg Deal
3x $150 = $450
+ $60 bonus
=$510
(13.33% discount)
Then I used gxc to cover the remaining tax, which was the second best option found via cardbear...

Thanks for posting this. I reached the same conclusion during checkout and backed off.

CardBear (need selfie verification) - 15% off
Amazon Prime - 14.5% off
Newegg - 11.8% off
Costco (need membership) - 10.01% off
Newegg is the best if you don't want to upload your photo.
