      Damn you're good.
      Can you predict when Playstation PSN cards 15% - 20% go on sales?

      • RichardL on 04/09/2025 - 14:35

        The PlayStation Gift Cards are rarely discounted.

        The last few times it was 15% off was during one of Amazon Big Sales Events (ie. Black Friday /Big Smile).

        • halil23 on 04/09/2025 - 14:51

          Interesting, didn't know.
          I refuse to buy it off Amazon. So hopefully coles or woollies have a sales in Xmas.

        My wishlist as the moment has Red Dead, Bioshock, Catherine, Tony Hawk 3/4, Lego Marvel and a fair few others that I own on at least one other platform, but would buy again (again) for the right sale price.

        the Portal 1 and 2 are on Switch, too. they run awesome even on switch 1. I love being able to play portal wherever I please lol

      +3

      You should be able to.

      Just load the Nintendo eShop Card to you account and use the credit to purchase/extend the NSO membership.

      • phatbirb on 04/09/2025 - 11:51

          • rekuhs on 04/09/2025 - 15:00

            @cobknob: It does, I used the last of my wallet balance from last time I topped up on 20% off gift cards to extend my sub and get that +2 months deal

    • xmagic on 04/09/2025 - 12:40
      +5

      Yes. I just topped up the card into account balance and manually added another year of NSO to my account. I received the 2-month bonus a few minutes after confirmation.

      • phatbirb on 04/09/2025 - 13:58

  • JuryWheel on 04/09/2025 - 12:10

    Nice!!!!

  • LuthLexor on 04/09/2025 - 12:11

    Is there an expiry date on your eshop balance? Any risk in stocking up now and using it over the next few years?

    • RichardL on 04/09/2025 - 12:24
      +5

      The Nintendo eShop Balance limit is A$375.

      The actual Nintendo eShop Card don't have an expiry, so just load when needed.

      Also the 20% off sale usually happens annually around September, so don't need to stock up on too much.

      • LuthLexor on 04/09/2025 - 12:55

        Sweet, thanks!

      • NimbusTLD on 04/09/2025 - 14:29

    • xmagic on 04/09/2025 - 12:39

      20% off 30$ is 6$. I don't know about you, but I waited 7 years for Silksong, and I'm not gonna waste another 2 weeks to save 6$ lol

  • VerticallyIntegrated on 04/09/2025 - 12:31

    Being in-store is there evidence of tampering with these types of cards?

    • RichardL on 04/09/2025 - 12:39

      It's a 16 alphanumeric code behind a scratch-panel, so unlikely.

      Also not highly sorted after like Apple Gift Card (which can be used to purchase physical Apple Devices) or Prepaid Cards (EFTPOS Cards).

      • lorikeet on 04/09/2025 - 14:19
        +7

        If it's done alphabetically the Nintendo gift cards will be sorted after the Apple ones.

          That cause the TCN Cards Number are visible and you just had to brute force guess the 4 digit pin (and there was no limit for guessing on the TCN Site).

    Can't believe I'd see this again in such a short interval!

    • Craze on 04/09/2025 - 20:02

      Short interval? 20% off seem to come around yearly?

      • xmagic on 06/09/2025 - 14:49

        It's only happened in the past two years. Before that, the best offer was 15% max.

    Can these be used to get the new Pokemon

    • Guybrush57 on 04/09/2025 - 15:28

      Yes

    • xmagic on 06/09/2025 - 15:04
      +2

      Yes, but not necessarily the best discount:

      • If you want digital, likely you'll be able to get code vouchers on eBay or FB Marketplace once the Z-A bundle consoles are released. Some people would buy them and sell off the code at lower-than-eShop prices
      • Physical is already cheaper than eShop price + discounted eShop cards
      • It's likely the NS1 edition of Pokemon ZA would have further discounts, then you can buy the upgrade pack ($20) with eShop discount to save more

      Though if you're hardcore fan and want to play as soon as the game releases, discount eShop card is the best way to save.

      • Swankenstein on 07/09/2025 - 17:52
        +4

        It IS the best discount:

        *Regular Price (Discount)

        Purchase the 2x Nintendo Switch vouchers for $135 ($108)

        Trade one $67.50 ($54) voucher for Pokemon ZA Switch 1 Version

        Spend $20 ($16) for Pokemon ZA Switch 2 Upgrade

        Total $87.50 ($70)

        Bonus:

        Spend the other voucher on Metroid Prime 4 Switch 1 Version and do the same thing.

  • jace88 on 04/09/2025 - 19:58

    Decent discount. Great for lazy people like me who don't like switching carts.

      • scirocco on 07/09/2025 - 20:55

        will do, cannot see JB excludes gift cards in price match policy.

      • scirocco on 17/09/2025 - 16:34

        Hi mate, just managed to price match it in JB, got 2 $100 ones and paid via gift card to get further discount.
        Actually went to two JB, the first one didn't let me price match it because they cannot change the gift card price in the system, but successful at the second one, the trick is they are not able to change the price of gift card on the computer where the system pops up a message that won't allow the staff do so, but one of the managers at second store straightaway found a workaround that he is able to do manual price override on the handheld device, but only for $100 value gift card somehow.
        Good luck :)

    • paulbrown073 on 05/09/2025 - 14:44

  • Silmo on 05/09/2025 - 20:44

    New to switch, just got one from recent ebgames deal on ebay.

    Could someone enlighten me whether this can be used for something other than games? Whats the pros and cons of buying digital vs the physical one?

    • xmagic on 06/09/2025 - 14:57
      +2

      You can trade and share physical copies but digital cannot (well technically you can share virtual game card for up to 14 days in the same family group, if that counts). As long as you have enough storage, you can bring all digital games with you on the go, while you'll need to keep the physical cards with you with risk of losing or damage them. Though physical cards have boxes for presentation which collectors care a lot. These pretty much apply to all platforms, not just Nintendo.

      eShop cards can be topped up in your Nintendo account as account balance to pay games, DLCs, pre-orders, NS Online memberships, etc. Note "My Nintendo Store" (the one that sells physical goods, including NSO member exclusive controllers) only accepts credit cards, not account balance.

      • Silmo on 07/09/2025 - 00:37

        Thanks for the info!

      • aimon on 17/09/2025 - 07:34

        Unless it wasn't clear you can also sell your games when you finish it, which you can't do with digital.

  • JacobAU on 14/09/2025 - 13:41

    What exactly enforces the 5x per customer rule? Can’t I just go to another store and pick up more as long as I don’t scan Flybuys?

    • WookieMonster on 14/09/2025 - 17:31
      +2

      The only two things that enforce the 5 per customer rule are:

      • The checkouts. The checkouts will return an error if you attempt to purchase more than five gift cards in the transaction. Obviously, the workaround for that is to split your purchase across multiple transactions.

      • Store staff. Considering purchases of gift cards require staff approval, if a staff member notices you are trying to purchase more than five gift cards, they can stop you if they want to. If you want to avoid this potential hassle with staff, the easiest things to do are (1) go to another store - assuming another Coles is nearby - or (2) return to the same store on a different day.

      This deal does not mention anything about Flybuys, so if you scan your Flybuys card during the first transaction of 5 gift cards, Flybuys will not stop you from purchasing more gift cards in subsequent transactions during the same day.

      • JacobAU on 14/09/2025 - 17:50

        Thanks!

      • King Steuart on 17/09/2025 - 08:26

        Flybuys stopped me from purchasing more gift cards in subsequent transactions during the same day when it was a Flybuys specific deal. It was a 10% off if you use flybuys too, not a flybuys points offer.

  • aimon on 17/09/2025 - 07:28

    This is a great deal, but I can't think of anything coming out in 2025 that I would actually buy. Next one on the radar is monster hunter stories 3 and fire emblem

    • King Steuart on 17/09/2025 - 08:25

      Metroid Prime 4!

        Oh I didn't even think to check the voucher list ever since the notice went out a few months ago that it was being discontinued, didn't realize Metroid 4 was up there. 20 bucks for the Switch 2 upgrade though? Ugh, really puts into perspective how some studios are doing their upgrade for free or $1.

        Mouse controls will be super interesting for that one though, cheers for the heads up.

        • NimbusTLD on 17/09/2025 - 15:53

          Yea Switch 2 really sees Nintendo in their arrogance era, fresh from the success of the Switch. I'm sitting it out for now… I'll probably succumb to the pull of the Nintendo exclusives in a few years, most likely after the Switch 2 OLED is released (for an even high price 😭)

    For those playing at home the limit is still $375 balance at one time. And you can't get around it by preordering games either as payment is only taken max 7 days before release.

    • NimbusTLD on 17/09/2025 - 15:54

  • pjbargain15 on 17/09/2025 - 17:54

    New to this. Is there any benefit of getting larger value voucher compared to smaller? E. G. One $60 vs two $30? Or are they exactly the same cost and benefit, just preference? I am not planning to buy more than $100 worth anyway, so 5x limit is not relevant for me

    • tc423 on 17/09/2025 - 18:32

    Just a reminder be careful and check the card code isn't scratched at the back before you buy. My wife bought one of these today for my Son for christmas. We were about to put it away for said christmas and noticed someone had got the code off the card. We checked the code in the eshop and it still had the credit. So we loaded it now as an Early Christmas present to prevent someone sniping the credit in the meantime.

    Again. Check the code isn't scratched.

    • brotherfranciz on 18/09/2025 - 17:20

      I worried about this (before I read your comment) and checked that the back of the gift cards were pristine and not tampered with.

      I went to the check out and it required an activation by a staff member, so I think that is how they stop people simply scratching the foil off to steal the codes.

    • pjbargain15 on 18/09/2025 - 23:24

      Codes aren't activated until you pay for them at checkout. So even if someone takes them without paying or scratches them, they aren't usable unless paid for at checkout

      • ChiefAJ on 19/09/2025 - 16:00
        +4

        Someone can set up a bot to regularly check whether a code has been activated. If the card sits in drawer unused until Christmas that allows for a long time for it to be checked, redeemed and on sold by someone with the code.

    I bought 2 $100 ones and they didn't work. got a response back from nintendo and they say it wasnt activated and have to talk to Coles.
    It's not looking good. The person at the store said they can't do anything, now i'm trying online support. i'm probably just out $160 from system whoopsie.

    • Azro on 20/09/2025 - 14:30

      Do you have a receipt from Coles where it says activated?

      • Lief on 20/09/2025 - 14:55

        Receipt says activated, Nintendo says it's not.
        Coles online got back to me only to ask some pointless questions about scams and didn't address the issue at all
        edit: specifically the receipt says "approved" in the section with the gift card details. If it's supposed to say activated in the gift card section then that would be the issue.
