This Sneaky Way to Save $100 on a Nintendo Switch 2 Is a Black Friday Weekend Miracle

If you've been looking for a way to save on the Nintendo Switch 2 you know the options have been few and far between. It came out earlier this year as and upgrade to the original Switch, complete with a larger battery, more storage and a slightly larger screen. While there are no direct sales for this new console, we have found a special Black Friday and Cyber Monday deal at Costco that can help you snag the Switch 2 for up to $100 off.
Costco is currently offering discounts on Nintendo eShop gift cards that you can use to shop on Nintendo's website. You can buy anything you choose with these cards, including the Switch 2. You can snag a four-pack of $50 (totaling $200 in gift cards) for $160, and a four-pack of $25 gift cards (totaling $100 in gift cards) for $80 right now.

Costco is limiting buyers to two gift card packs per deal. If you want to buy a Switch 2, you can buy two $200 gift card packs and one $100 pack for a total of $500 in gift cards for only $400. That'll give you enough to buy the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart bundle (or just the standard Switch 2 if you prefer) on Nintendo's website.

Why this deal matters
