$10 card priced at $8.98
The title really says it all: these cards are ~%10 off. You are getting $10 worth of money on the Nintendo eshop for $8.98 on Amazon.So, I wanted to buy Metroid Dread. It was on sale on Amazon for about $42 after tax. On the Nintendo eshop it was roughly the same price (within about $0.50). So, what do I do? I check to see if Amazon has any deals on Nintendo eshop cards, and low and behold: the $10 cards are 10% off.So, Metroid Dread was ~$42. I could've paid that price to Amazon OR Nintendo, but instead: I bought 4x $10 eshop cards that were sold for $8.98, which totals up to $35.92.Basically: this makes anything on the eshop 10% off. The only question is whether or not there is a bigger % discount on another store.Therefore, with the $2 difference, I paid $37.92 for Metroid Dread, when both Amazon AND Nintendo are selling it for ~$43 (plus or minus half a dollar).Unfortunately, there seems to be a limit of 2 cards per purchase, but I simply made two separate purchases of 2 cards each. I'm not sure if there is an ultimate limit on this (e.g. could you buy $1000 worth of 10$ gift cards? With the 10% off that would be $900 for $1000 on the Nintendo eshop), but I would highly recommend buying these if you intend to buy anything on the eshop.To be honest, I should have bought a 5th card which would have been $44.90 total, which would have been an identical price to the game AND given me a free $5 on the shop, but hindsight is 20/20.I am still considering buying another 1-2 of these on sale, just to have on my eshop. I RARELY make ANY GAME PURCHASES NOWADAYS, but these are a better deal than the Nintendo Switch Vouchers they offer, which cost $100 for 2 games and are therefore ONLY WORTH IT if you pick games that are priced at $59.99. To be honest I'm considering buying 5 of them just for when my Nintendo Switch Online renews, as it'll save me $5 on the subscription.So, in short: buying these cards gives you %10 off of your purchase. Want a $50 game on the eshop? Buy 5 of these for $44.90. Want a $60 game on the eshop? Buy 6 of these for $53.88. Regardless of what you buy, it will now be 10% off of it's current price. SO, if a game such as Metroid Dread is already on sale at $43, you have now paid $39.98 for the game and gotten 10% off of it's discounted price.I hope this review doesn't ruin it for everyone, but I want EVERYONE to understand why there is inherent financial value in purchasing multiple $10 cards vs spending the money directly. Now, if the game on the eshop is NOT discounted and it IS on Amazon, than the 10% you save here might be LESS than what Amazon is pricing it at, so it NOT save you money in that instance.This is a %10 discount on however many increments of $10 you want to add to your eshop. Want to put $50 on there for your yearly subscription to Nintendo Online Expansion? You paid $45 instead and saved yourself $5. Again, the only question is whether or not you can find a deeper discount elsewhere than the inherent 10% here.

It's-a-me, a gift card
It's a gift card, everyone's favorite cash alternative! In all seriousness, easy transaction and instantly accessible through the Amazon digital content for my account. Definitely worth getting if it's ever one sale so you get more bang for your buck

Great gift
It's pretty simple. Just a $5 Nintendo eShop Gift Card. Maybe buy it as a gift for someone with a switch.

Perfect Christmas gift for my niece and nephew
I was able to purchase this and use it instantly. This was great because my niece and nephew had just gotten their own handheld Nintendo switch light and it came in handy because they wanted to buy a game. I do recommend purchasing this you get your code as soon as you make your purchase, which was so convenient, especially since I don’t live near them to buy them a physical card.

WORKS ON 3DS-HERE'S HOW
The 3DS Nintendo eShop is closing towards the end of March 2023, so you bought this card, got your code, and the 3DS says you cannot add funds from your 3DS' eShop, so you freak out while simultaneously raging. Do not worry, you CAN add the funds to your 3DS account! Don't worry if you added your funds to your Nintendo Switch account, I have the whole process explained on how to get your funds on your 3DS' eShop!So I previously purchased the $20 card from Amazon, then the $35 card from Walmart's website. Today, I added the $35 to my Nintendo (Switch) account, but I merged the funds with my 3DS Nintendo Network ID. Here's how I did it:The 3DS eShop will give you an error code, saying that you cannot add funds to your account directly from the 3DS's eShop "Add funds" options. However, yes you can! I will tell you how, which is what saved me from chucking my 3DS XL across my bedroom lol1. Do you have a Nintendo Network ID? You will need a Nintendo Network ID, which isn't the same as your Nintendo account. But it's perfectly okay if you've already added the funds to your Switch account! To check your account info, click on the wrench/house settings button at the top left corner of your 3DS's home menu page. Scroll all the way down and click on the little wrench icon. Click on the two at the top center, and select "Profile settings." Enter your password and scroll down to get your email associated with your My Nintendo account. Your Network ID is also displayed along the top screen. You will need this info, so write them down. If you don't have a Nintendo Network ID/account, you will need to sign up for one real quick on Nintendo's website, which is quick & easy to do!2. If you already have a Nintendo Network ID, or need to sign up for one, go to/use that info to log in to the website mynintendo.com NOT Nintendo.com! If you'd like to, write down the ID and password for the next steps.3. On the website, click on your profile name/photo at the upper right corner, and select "Account settings."4. Scroll down a tad and you will see "Nintendo Network ID." Make sure the Nintendo Network ID listed (if there is one) matches the one that was shown on your 3DS system. If one is not linked, or the wrong one is linked, click "edit" right above it, and change it to the Nintendo Network ID listed on your 3DS, case sensitive, which means exactly as it appears on your 3DS, capitalized letters, spaces, numbers, etc. as well as your account password, and it will automatically link it to your account when you save it.5. On the left side of the screen, click on "Shop menu. You will see your funds in your account, but not (yet) in your 3DS' eShop, which is a good thing, because it means that your funds are available to you! However, if you want to add more funds, you can do so on this page, via credit card, debt card, or PayPal account. Scroll down and make sure the Nintendo Network ID listed below in that small rectangular box is the exact one as the one listed on your 3DS, and click on "Merge funds" right below that, and click on "Merge funds" again when it pops up. It should merge your Nintendo Switch funds with your 3DS funds.6. If you still have the 3DS' eShop open, close it and then reopen it, and your funds should be available on your 3DS' eShop!You may repeat this process as often as necessary until the eShop on 3DS closes.I hope this helps! :)

A little hard to figure out
If I had not had my son to help me order this I would have not known how to get a digital gift card but once he explained it we were able to successfully order it and it processed immediately.

Great gift for Nintendo fans
Kids reach a certain age that makes gift giving more difficult. If they like Nintendo, this is a sure winner. It really takes the pressure off of gift giving for tweens and teenagers.
