FAQ
1. Is $50 enough for the $49.99 subscription?
Yes, but only if you are not charged tax. If your profile has a taxable Zip Code, the total will be around $53-54, and the card won't be enough. Make sure to change your Zip Code to 97330 (Oregon) or 19720 (Delaware) before purchasing.
2. Does this card work for non-US accounts?
No. Nintendo blocks cross-region card activation. You need to change your country to "United States" in your profile settings on nintendo.com or create a new separate account.
3. What is included in the "Expansion Pack"?
The $49.99 subscription includes: online play, cloud saves, NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, SEGA Genesis, Game Boy Advance libraries, plus major DLCs for Mario Kart 8, Animal Crossing, and Splatoon 2.
4. Is $50 enough for a new game (e.g., Zelda)?
Usually no. The standard price for new releases is $59.99, and flagships like Zelda: TotK are $69.99. You will need to buy an additional $10 or $20 card.
5. Does the code expire?
No. The code is valid indefinitely. You can redeem it at any time.
6. Can I pay for a Family Membership with this code?
Yes. The standard Family Membership is $34.99 (you'll have $15 left). However, the "Family Membership + Expansion Pack" ($79.99) costs more than this $50 card.
