Pro Tips

• Check Region: US cards only work on US Nintendo Accounts. Ensure your account region matches.
• Combine with Sales: Buy cards on discount → wait for eShop sale → double savings.
• No Tax on Digital Codes: Most retailers don't charge sales tax on gift cards (tax applied at purchase on eShop).
• Auto-Reload: Nintendo.com lets you set auto-reload when balance drops below $X.

Avoid: Random eBay sellers, Discord "code generators," too-good-to-be-true discounts. Stick to authorized retailers.
