This quick guide breaks it all down.
What is a Nintendo Gift Card?
A Nintendo Gift Card (or eShop card) is basically prepaid money for your Nintendo Account. Instead of linking a debit or credit card, you just add funds with a 16-digit code — safe, simple, and super popular for gifts.
What Can You Buy?
Once redeemed, your gift card balance can pay for:
Full Nintendo Switch digital games
Downloadable content (DLC)
In-game add-ons or virtual currency
Nintendo Switch Online memberships
Special offers and indie games
It works only for digital purchases on the Nintendo eShop — not for physical accessories or consoles.
How to Redeem a Nintendo Gift Card
Here’s how easy it is:
On your Nintendo Switch:
. Open the Nintendo eShop
. Pick your user profile
. Scroll down and select “Redeem Code.”
Enter the 16-digit number
Confirm — funds are added instantly!
On your computer:
. Go to nintendo.com/redeem
. Log in to your Nintendo Account
Enter the code
Done — shop away!
Do’s: Smart Tips for Gift Cards
Buy from trusted stores (Amazon, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, Nintendo.com)
Double-check the region — the card must match your account’s country
Keep the receipt until you redeem it
Use it during sales — you’ll stretch your balance further
Combine cards if you want to buy bigger games or bundles
Don’ts: Common Mistakes to Avoid
Don’t trust “free code” websites — these are scams and can steal your info
Don’t share your code with strangers — once used, it can’t be recovered
Don’t mix regions — a UK card won’t work with a US account
Don’t lose your code — treat it like cash until redeemed
Why People Love Nintendo Gift Cards
Safe for kids & teens — no bank card required
Perfect gift idea — let them choose the game they really want
No expiry date once redeemed
No fees — what you see is what you get
Final Thoughts
Nintendo Gift Card Codes are one of the easiest, safest, and most fun ways to pay for games and content on your Switch. Whether you’re gifting one or using one yourself, just follow these do’s and don’ts to make the most of every dollar.
Happy gaming — and happy spending!
