FAQ
1. Will this card work for a UK/EU account?
No. Nintendo strictly separates regions. A dollar (USD) code activates only if "United States" is selected as the country in your profile settings on nintendo.com.
2. How to change region to USA?
Go to the official website accounts.nintendo.com, log in, click "User Info" -> "Profile" and change Country/Region of Residence to "United States". Note: your current balance must be zero before changing regions.
3. Is 5 dollars enough for Mario or Zelda?
No, major Nintendo exclusives cost $60-70. This card ($5) is suitable as an addition to a larger card to accumulate the necessary amount.
4. Is there tax on games in the US?
It depends on the Zip Code you entered in your profile. To buy games tax-free, we recommend using a Zip Code from a tax-free state, such as 97330 (Oregon) or 19720 (Delaware).

No. You can redeem it whenever you want. Funds on the balance also remain indefinitely.
