Nintendo eShop help!

Hi all, trying to buy a few games for my son's Switch on the eStore - easy enough I thought...

Both my cards were declined (which I use elsewhere), but I think its because their account is a supervised one.

The only option I can see right now is to buy a gift card, but didn't really want to spend £15 just to buy an 89p game! Anyone got any ideas?

If it's supervised, try logging on through their actual website and use your parental password to log in to it, then it should let you buy/download the game you want.

I had to do the same for my son too.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I had no joy. I swear I used to just buy games using my card - very annoying

Will have to give up and just buy a gift card

If you go the route of gift cards, buy from here https://switchup.gg/en/ and if you use code SWITCHUP at checkout, you get an extra 10% off.

Haven't bought in a while, but I'm sure there is an option to pay via paypal
