With Nintendo's Deluxe Digital Promotion now expired, padding your eShop account with a little extra cheddar isn't quite as effortless as it used to be. It might take some bargain hunting to scrape up a few extra bucks, but Best Buy's occasional eShop card sales are a reliable place to start.
The cards are Best Buy's Deal of the Day, with a number of different denominations all at 10% off. That means two $10 Yoshi cards will net you the same overall discount as one $20 card with the bros, but the Yoshis are much easier to split with a friend. Just sayin'.
Best be quick if you want to take advantage of the day's deal, as it's set to end at midnight EST.

argh i have never seen eshop cards for sale here in germany
"Buy money for less money!" Perfect!
i bought all i could afford when they were 20% off a while ago, and there hasnt been anything good to buy off the eshop lately so i still have alot of eshop credit left. plus i always buy phyisical copies if possible. unless the download price is way lower, (its so hard to resist a good sale)
Thanks for the notification NLife. Got me a $10 card for $4 because i had a $5 reward cert plus it was free shipping so I didn't even leave the couch.
If there were a Best Buy close to me I'd surely take advantage of this...oh well.
@Giygas_95 - in US they will mail the cards to you free shipping
Where's my 20% off Best Buy. I took advantage of that last year and bought all the Zen and Star wars tables on sale for less then 40$ A 50$ card for only 40 went a long ways for me!
Oh and by last year I meant just over a year ago today.
I wish Best Buy Mexico had this kind of promotions... It's so sad
Best Buy Canada doesn't even sell them online here. The only way to get them in Canada is in store. How backwards is that?
Meh... it's only 10%... They need to do that 25% they did back in 2013
10% doesn't move the needle. Anyone that's interested can take advantage of the sale in store too. I was just at my local best buy
Done & done, have to build up the 2015 reserve!
@3dcaleb
Same here. I bought 200 dollars worth of cards, and I still have 33 bucks left. Last acquisition was Shantae's latest.
@Gerbwmu Hmm, thanks for the tip! Think I'd better save the money for gas though...
Darn, was hoping the next time Best Buy have a sale on eshop cards it would be 20% like last winter; got $280 value for $194 after discount and $30 reward. Awell now not the time to be stingy, now is the time to put my $20 rewards credit into something useful.
Well, I guess that would offset the 8 percent sales tax I always have to pay on the eShop, at least... What a deal...
Not enough of a discount to get me to shop there. And a sales tax question for you folks in sales tax states: if you change your 3ds's settings to a non tax state, theoretically of course, can you then use the eshop cards and avoid the tax? Just curious, cuz I live in Oregon and the cards are always good for face value here anyway. I'm certainly not suggesting that anyone should try something unethical like avoiding a tax, I was just curious if it would work that way.
Just brought 1card. Paying $9 for $10 is a solid deal. I hope we get the same sales as the UK because I will most definitely be getting teslagrad & chasing aurora this week.
@DiscoGentleman - Jax probably has his eShop limit maxed out. Nice of you to give him a shout out though, suppose he can always pocket it for later, and he may save even more w/ Unlocked.
I only stopped by before bed to see if NL is live streaming tomorrow. They must all be confused, its 2PM rather than AM.
@DiscoGentleman I do now! On it, thanx for the heads up!
They need to do this stuff with the Wiiware codes!
Amazing! A sale on what's practically a gift card? I'm going to need to go to Best Buy today to stock up the software on my new Wii U.
Nice! Metroid Prime Trilogy will be even cheaper now. evil cackle
