I personally have a debit card so there aint no way im going to the store just to buy a card so that being said ive never purchased a wii points card... Is there any differences in the pricing "card or downloading" ? Plus if i decide i want a game late hours in the night/morning and dont have points i dont wanna have to get ready just to go to the store for a card. Plus what store is open besides walmart after hours lol plus you see all the late night creepers haha

i dunno if it's true where you're at, but you can't find 1000 point cards around here, which is the denomination of points i usually like to purchase (no sense buying too much when i don't need it, and it's not like i'm getting some kind of discount for buying in bulk or anything). therefore, i usually just buy via the Wii/DSi Shop.

I live in the US and have never paid tax on a points card. I get 2000 pt. cards at Best Buy for $19.99. Then I use that extra penny from my broken $20 to scratch off the back of the card!
@Wildvine53: it depends on what area of the US you live in whether or not your points will be taxed directly from the Wii/DSi Shop as well. that's why they ask for state/county information along with your credit card info, so that they know which taxes are required depending on the person making the purchase from where. that was another reason i was purchasing my points through the Shops instead of actually going to the store, but it's moot now that NC has passed whatever tax laws on internet purchases or whatev'. :/

Strangely, there USED to be sales task on Points cards (Nintendo, Microsoft, and PSN) in Maryland, even while using a credit/debit card online was not taxed. They finally realized that was stupid and lifted the tax on the cards. Now it's the same tax-free price either way, so I usually use my credit card for convienience, especially to avoid buying an overabundence of points, like TBD said.

I use both, but strangely I save every card I buy in a small pile in my desk. There is 21 cards in there, and I know I buy a lot with my credit card. (in case you are wondering, I download A LOT of songs for Guitar Hero 5. I only have 53 games on VC and Wiiware and about 15 on Dsiware)
@liammiller18: Are you sure you posted that sales tax percentage correctly? As I recall from speaking with some Canadian friends, it's much higher than that. My guess is you meant 8%-15%.
