Club Nintendo Discontinued: How to Get eShop Credit via My Nintendo & Gift Cards
Club Nintendo ended in 2015. No points, surveys, or rewards exist there anymore. You cannot get eShop credit from it.
Current Ways to Earn/Get eShop Credit
My Nintendo (Free): Link your Nintendo Account. Earn Platinum Points through missions (play games, visit eShop, website interaction) → Redeem for discount coupons (often 30%/50% off specific titles) or occasional fixed-amount credit.
Nintendo Switch Online Subscription: Members sometimes receive exclusive eShop credit offers (e.g., $10 credit for a 12-month renewal).
Retail Gift Cards: Physical/digital cards from Amazon, Best Buy, Target, GameStop, Walmart in $10, $20, $35, $50 denominations. Often on sale (10–15% off).
Promotions: "Buy X, get $Y credit" during holidays or major game launches.
Credit Card Rewards: Some cards (e.g., Amazon Prime Visa) give points redeemable for Nintendo eShop cards.
Club Nintendo is history; My Nintendo + gift cards are the modern path to eShop credit.
