I just got a $50 off $500 for costco.com in my email this morning and it works on these. Just bought $700 worth (for SW2 and Pro Controller) for $510.

Outdated information. The current limit is $800.

"Your total balance cannot exceed the following:

U.S.: $800 USD"

Costco's Nintendo eGift card promo is a strong way to stretch Nintendo credit for Switch hardware, games, and eShop purchases, with the discount stacking cleanly in several carts and even pairing with Costco email coupons. The cards arrive digitally, each code is separate, and the balance can be used toward consoles or split across multiple purchases. The main friction is checkout, where some orders are canceled or delayed and account verification or support calls may be needed. A practical option if you want Nintendo credit without paying full price.

Common Questions (5)

  • Common triggers include account verification issues and mismatches between the billing/shipping name and the credit card name. Verifying the Costco account first or calling customer support can resolve the cancellation and allow the codes to be issued.

  • Yes. A Costco.com $50-off-$500 email offer has been used successfully with these cards, and shoppers also combined multiple discounted packs to reach the $500 threshold for the coupon.

    LavenderAlpaca410GlitchingKittyLovelyMarmot2858ThriftyDeer911

  • Yes. The cards can be used for games, hardware, and other Nintendo purchases, and a recent policy change allows eShop balance to be applied to consoles at checkout. They are not limited to digital-only content.

  • Delivery can take a few hours after order confirmation, and some orders arrive the same day while others take about half a day. A delay alone does not necessarily mean the order is cancelled.

    HomerOnTheToiletmaxutilitysparticusthematrixjohn.hunter225

  • The current U.S. eShop balance cap is $800. An older $250 limit is outdated, so you can load more credit before hitting the ceiling.

I'll do that. It ate the 50/500 coupon. Hopefully that can be reapplied.

Stupid question. Everyone says you can use this for hardwarde, but I see this in their desription "This Item Can Be Used To Purchase Games and Downloadable Content Via The Nintendo eShop" Says nothing about hardware. I assume others have used them before for hardware?
You previously could not. There was a relatively recent policy change (past year IIRC) that now allows you to purchase consoles and other hardware with eShop credit. If you aren't convinced, you can add whatever the minimum charge is to your account directly then add a Switch 2 to cart. On the payment screen, you should see the option to use your current wallet balance for the purchase.

Where ever you ordered from just cancel that order even nintendo. Most places not charging cards until near pre-order date
The Zelda Switch 2 console is sold out. So you can't cancel and then reorder.

Does anyone know if I can change my pre-order for the Zelda edition switch 2 from my credit card to using these gift cards?
Just cancel your preorder. I'm 99% sure that these consoles are not going to sell out. The console don't have anything special for preorder. Unlike the OOT preorder that comes with the foil something on physical.

5 hours and counting, no delivery email. IIRC I've always had some weird timing with how long it takes to get these.
Order confirmed. Half a day later No update on codes ...
Order hasn't been cancelled by the system.

Same thing happened to me. Chat told me there was a mismatch between the name on my shipping address, and my credit card. I've placed dozens of orders previously without issue.

They couldn't re-instate the coupon, nor could they unlock the discounts again on the website.

Yes. Ordered one of each and got a code then ordered another $200 pack and cancelled over and over. Getting emails that say I exceeded quantity yet the item page says 10 per customer so that makes no sense.

UPDATE: You can only do one transaction per set of cards per account. You can do up to 10 sets in a single transaction but only that one transaction every 14 days per the vendor (Nintendo). So dumb. They recommended trying my wife's account.

I had the same issue with billing/shipping NAME. Addresses were completely the same. I tried to chat but they were not helpful, so I called into the 1-800 number and they were able to force it through after speaking with some processing team. It took about 20 minutes on the phone but it was worth it. I got the gift cards about 3 minutes after hanging up, so total time after order was less than an hour. I believe it's because they forced it through so YMMV

Lol I misread it as 1 bundle per transaction and a limit of 10. I 100% could of made use of that 50 off. Funny thing i ordered two gift cards on separate transaction both went through. I later went to store when 3rd order was cancelled. The store sign says 10 limit. no mention 1 transaction limit.
