  "account": "Newegg is offering a highly discounted $200 Nintendo eShop Digital Gift Card for just $173 today, as part of their one-day-only promotional sale. By applying promo code NGZF444 during checkout, customers can save nearly 13.5% on the first-party Nintendo credit, a fantastic deal for Nintendo Switch enthusiasts.\n\nThough the primary purpose of the gift card is for digital purchases, the funds can also be utilized towards future Nintendo hardware. Notably, the Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch at a slightly higher price of $500 on September 1, just a few days away, indicating that discounted eShop credits can be used to fully fund the console before the price increase takes effect.\n\nFurthermore, the $200 gift card allows users to hold up to $800 in their Nintendo account, making it possible to purchase a Switch 2 entirely through discounted credit before the price goes up. Alternatively, customers can secure a balance of $400 for $346 and cover the remaining $50 upfront.\n\nIt is crucial to act quickly, as the NGZF444 promo code is limited to today's sales on Newegg. For those seeking more budget-friendly options, Amazon currently offers a 15% discount on $10 Nintendo eShop gift cards. IGN Deals, a trusted source for the best online deals with over 30 years of collective experience, advises readers to follow their newsletter, set IGN as a preferred source on Google Shopping, and engage with their social media channels on X, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok for the latest discount updates.",
  "summary": "You can currently get a $200 Nintendo eShop gift card for just $173, but the deal expires after today. If you're smart about it, you can also stack credit to save on the Nintendo Switch 2 before the incoming price increase on September 1.",
