Saving for a Switch 2 is easier with Newegg’s gift card deal

If you foresee a bunch of Nintendo purchases in your future, Newegg’s deal on Nintendo gift cards might just help save your wallet. The retailer is offering a deal that lets gamers get $200 worth of credit towards games, consoles, and accessories for just $170. Best of all, the gift cards can stack in your account, letting you accrue enough to buy a Nintendo Switch 2 at a sweet discount.

Nintendo eShop gift cards

Where to Buy:

  • $200 $170 at Newegg ($200)
  • $100 $89.99 at Costco ($100)

You don’t have to buy gift cards to reap some savings on a Switch 2, though. Nintendo is currently offering a $499.99 “Choose Your Game” console bundle that includes a discounted game (Donkey Kong BananzaPokémon Pokopia, or Mario Kart World). Either way you go, it’s wise to buy a console ahead of the fall because Nintendo is raising the Switch 2’s price by $50 — up to $499.99 — in September.

Other deals you might dig

  • Last week, we highlighted a deal on the Sonos Roam 2, which is down to $134 (usually $179). Sonos improved on its own deal by offering the wireless, water-resistant speaker with Otterbox’s protective carrying case (originally $39.95) included for no extra charge. This case doesn’t take away from the Roam 2’s slick design — it just adds protection for its top and bottom, and throws in a lanyard so you can more easily tote it around.
  • Here’s a great deal that, thanks to the pre-requisites, some might consider a little too much effort. Apple’s last-gen Studio Display is steeply discounted at Sam’s Club, where a membership is required to make the purchase. The retailer has multiple configurations with matte nanotexture glass selling at good prices — well, good considering how expensive these typically are. For example, the model that has a VESA mount, making it easy to stick onto a monitor arm, is $1,059.91 (originally $1,899), and the one with a tilt- and height-adjustable stand is $1,279.91 (originally $2,299). Read our review of the 2022 model and our recent review of the barely-changed 2026 model.
  • Sony’s InZone H9 Mk. 2 is an awesome wireless gaming headset that now costs a little less than before. It’s currently $298 (was $349) at Amazon and B&H Photo, or $299.99 at Best Buy. It has sold at this price just a few times since it debuted last summer. The headset shares its drivers in common with Sony’s flagship WH-1000XM6 headphones, which is to say they’re fantastic. It also has effective active noise cancellation, and plenty of comfort thanks to its adjustable headband and plush, breathable ear cushions. The headset supports PC and PS5 via a USB-C 2.4GHz transmitter, as well as Bluetooth for connecting to phones, tablets, and more. Read my impressions.
