Nintendo Switch hardware is all but impossible to find in stock these days. But if you’re lucky enough have one already, you’d probably like to play some games. Amazon has two deals going right now that can save you a lot of money on digital downloads. The first deal brings several microSD cards down to their lowest prices ever on Amazon. The other saves you 15% off Nintendo eShop credit if you use an Amazon Visa or Amazon Store card. Here are the details.

If you download Switch games at all, additional storage is pretty much required. The Switch only comes with 32GB of onboard storage, and some of that is dedicated to the OS. That leaves you with a paltry few gigabytes to download games from the eShop. Some third-party Switch games take up more storage than comes on a Switch from the start. It’s kind of ridiculous.
Thankfully, adding storage is cheaper than ever. The prices of microSD cards has been on a downward trend since the Switch launched, and these three cards in particular are currently on sale for their lowest prices ever.

Now that you have storage, you’ll probably want some games to fill it up with. If you have an Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Card or an Amazon Prime Store Card, you’ll save 15% off Nintendo eShop credit between now and July 5.
If you don’t have one of those cards and you do a lot of shopping at Amazon, I’d highly recommend considering one. If you’re a Prime member, they both give you 5% cash back on all Amazon purchases, which can add up to big savings over time. The Visa also has decent cash back rates at restaurants, gas stations, and drugstores (2%).

This deal ends July 5, so if you have a card and use the eShop, stocking up on credit is a no-brainer. My favorite way to spend discounted eShop credit is to buy games when they go on sale. That gets you 15% off the already-discounted price, creating a double discount.
