How to Redeem a Nintendo eShop Gift Card

Bought a Nintendo eShop gift card on TopGift? Your code is waiting in My account → Orders and on the order confirmation page. It adds funds to your Nintendo Account that you can spend on games, DLC and Nintendo Switch Online.

Before You Start

  • Match the region. The card must match the country of your Nintendo Account. A card for Europe won’t work on a US account.
  • Your code has 16 characters.

On Nintendo Switch or Switch 2

  1. Open Nintendo eShop from the HOME Menu.
  2. Select the user linked to your Nintendo Account.
  3. Choose Redeem Code in the menu on the left.
  4. Enter the code and confirm.

Online

  1. Go to ec.nintendo.com/redeem and sign in to your Nintendo Account.
  2. Enter the code and click Next, then confirm.

The funds appear in your eShop balance right away.

Common Problems

  • “This code cannot be used in your region”. The card is for another country. Check your Nintendo Account country.
  • Balance limit. Nintendo has a maximum eShop balance. Spend some funds first.
  • Invalid code. Check for typos and confusing characters.
