How to Redeem Nintendo Switch Wallet Credit and Keys

Redeeming Nintendo Switch keys and wallet credit

If you purchase a Nintendo Switch game key, wallet credit, or a Nintendo Family Membership key through our price comparison, here is how you can redeem it on your Switch console or via the Nintendo eShop website.

Redeeming on your Nintendo Switch:

  • Open the Nintendo eShop from the HOME menu.
  • Access your account (if you don’t have one yet, you will need to create it).
  • Select "Redeem Code" on the left side of the screen.
  • Enter your 16-digit download or wallet credit code.
  • Choose "Confirm." Once your code is accepted, the game download will start or your wallet credit will be available for purchases!


Redeeming via the website:

  • Go to the website:https://ec.nintendo.com/redeem/#/. Sign in to your Nintendo account on the website; if you don’t have an account, register first.
  • Enter your 16-digit download code and click "Next."
  • Then re-enter your Nintendo Switch account password and select "Redeem."
  • After that, your wallet credit will be available for use in the shop, or your game will be ready to download on your Switch!
