Update:
And it's maxed out, which is a shame! Some seem to have gotten through, but a few have got the notification that it's expired (including us when we checked it). We'll double check at a later hour in case it triggered incorrectly, but it seems the offer may have run out.
Original Article:
Back in September PayPal ran a promotion for UK users in which they could get £20 of eShop credit on the Switch for £15. A similar deal has now gone live once again in the country, except this time you need to link your PayPal and Nintendo Account.
The details are in a news post on the Switch itself, lovingly recreated below.
If you're yet to connect your Nintendo Account and PayPal account, do the following.
- Go to ec.nintendo.com/paypal/agreement
- Log in to your Nintendo Account
- Select "Link" and you'll be re-directed to the PayPal website
- Log in to your PayPal account
- Follow the on-screen instructions to link the accounts
Once the accounts are linked, do the following.
- Go to Nintendo.co.uk/PayPalOffer
- Select 'Save Offer' and log in to PayPal when prompted
- Add a minimum of £20 to your Nintendo eShop balance via PayPal
- Your credit will be automatically redeemed with a saving of £5. Please be aware that the full amount will be displayed in the eShop and the eShop receipt. The difference will be reflected in your PayPal account.
This is only open to the first 3,700 customers in England, Wales and Scotland (Northern Ireland, unfortunately, seems to be excluded). The offer ends when that cap is hit or on 20th December.
Are any of you UK gamers planning to take advantage of this offer?

Got it and bought Worms WMD for £15, sweet!
Also Im from good old Northern Ireland and I got it fine! Hopefully the evident success of this scheme means it will be repeated for others who missed out the first time.
All gone, apparently.
Got it and will be using it for the Xenoblade 2 Expansion pass.
That’s insane. How on earth did they expect this to run for 3 weeks? It’s a shame, I was thinking about the last offer earlier at work as need £20 for the Xenoblade expansion and was planning on waiting for a deal. GEt home from work, see the article, go to PayPal and get told it’s expired already!!
Republic of Ireland also getting no love in this offer despite Nintendo putting us in the bracket of "UK and Ireland". Harsh!
Well, at least we have our Mario cereal In the US
Must have been one of the last people to get it, managed to use it with the Cyber Deals for Black Friday which run out at midnight to get Bravely Default for £15.
I got it, I didn’t realise it had expired.
I’ll probably spend on Pinball FX3 tables (coming 12 Dec), Worms WMD tempting too.
Saw it this morning and nabbed it
The offer expires December 20 2017. I'm out of luck
Whadda 'bout the States getting some luv?
@GC-161 Yeah! Why was it so limited? I want some deals too!
And why no Europe? Oh.... Sorry.... I forgot...
I managed to attach this to my PayPal. As long as I use it by 20/12/17. I may see if a season pass is available for Lego marvel superhero 2 as we did not have a deluxe edition like US or purchase worms WMD for £15
I was lucky enough to grab this. Just don't know what to spend it on!
@Moon I'm in the same boat! I guess I'll just get a twenty pound credit until something tickles my fancy. I've got a hell of a lot of games to play at the moment!
That is not an offer, it is a business transaction. They want to buy my future business payment transactions to Nintendo by having the payments go via them, for a fiver. Cheaper than advertising. My fee is a lot more than £5.
