How to redeem a Nintendo eShop card
A Nintendo eShop card adds funds to your Nintendo Account. The balance pays for games and add-ons in Nintendo eShop.
How to activate
- On Nintendo Switch: open Nintendo eShop from the HOME Menu and select your account.
- On the left, choose Enter Code or Redeem Code: the name depends on the region.
- Enter the 16-digit code from your Ludefy order and confirm: OK or Confirm.
- Online: open ec.nintendo.com/redeem, select Sign in and sign in to your Nintendo Account.
- Enter the code, select Next, enter your password again and select Redeem. A confirmation arrives by email.
Region and restrictions
- To redeem online, the account must have opened Nintendo eShop on a console at least once.
- The code works only in the eShop of the same region. The eShop always matches the Nintendo Account country: a USA card will not work with a Japanese account.
- In the Americas region, the account country cannot be changed while there is money on the balance. In Europe it can, but the balance is lost.
- The country is changed on the Nintendo Account website: User Information, Profile section, Edit button.
- If the code does not activate, write to support through the form on the order page: we will check it and replace the item or refund your money.
