Prime Day deals have come and gone, but we’re still on the hunt for amazing discounts for your favourite hobbies in the UK. Our latest find is on this Nintendo Switch Online discount at trusted seller ShopTo. For just £26.85 (see here), you can get a whole 12 months of the online membership plus its Expansion Pack as well. That’s 33% off the original list price of £39.99 you’ll find elsewhere, and the perfect deal for avid Switch gamers.
Not only that, but Nintendo assures us that you can stack your membership up to three years as well (36 months), so even if you’re already rocking a Switch online membership at the moment, this download code will simply stack on top of your current subscription, adding up to a new total time left.
For example, if you have 1 month left on your membership and you add the 12-month code on top, you’ll end up with 13 months after. Or, if you stack two 12-month codes on top, saving you even more in the long run, you’ll have 25 months overall. If you’re currently using a family membership, then there’s also a deal for you there as well. The 12-month Switch Online Family membership + Expansion Pass is down to £45.99, a 24% discount on the list price of £59.99 (see here).
If you’re worried about hitting that 36-month limit and not getting the most out of your purchases, then have no fear as well. Nintendo also assures us that all download codes purchased from third-party retailers have no expiry date and will last forever. So you can buy as many codes as you like now, and continue to get a cheaper membership in the future.
Nintendo has also indicated that it will take Switch Online with it over to its next console, so you don’t have to worry about being left with a redundant membership then either. If you’re after any more Switch deals, this 128GB micro SD card is down to just £9.90 (was £12.99), Metroid Prime Remastered for £21.99, and these beautiful pastel Joy-Cons are down to £59.99 (save £10) as well.
