To those who still have doubt on whether the GC balance can purchase console, I just redeemed al 24 $50 GC to my Nintendo account and convert it to a console .

$250 is what it says on Costco. But that's the old limit. it says $800 on Nintendo's website.
They had a sale on Gift Cards like 3 weeks ago. I'm assuming they are doing this again because Sam's Club is doing there's right now. Sam's Club didn't have it when Costco did like 3 weeks ago.
Do they usually do it again near black friday or this will be the only time? Also weird they don't even have the mario kart bundle or the choose a game one.
I am a little hesitant buying them because of the 1 guy saying he got the $250 max message. Maybe in some areas you can't add as much?
I hope they don't sell out quickly because i better sleep on it.
Your total eShop Account balance cannot exceed $250 USD
This sounds like nintendo is making sure you can no longer get a full discount on the switch... Anyone try this yet?

Oh ok thanks. I thought he meant he got an error on the nintendo site, but I see it;s on the costco item page. Nice that you can also sue shop cards to buy the gift cards so I can sue my $20 card to get $500 for $380.
edit: Maybe I should have bought a sixth, but somehow I have about $50 already on my account and I really don't like buying digital games, so probably good I did it this way. So even with tax I am basically out about $374, since I had that other money on there. Now I need to sell my v1 original switch on ebay...

I updated that and haven't got a cancel email yet.
Not sure why they let me complete the order without checking that.
Fingers crossed.
