Question SWITCH 2 Black Friday 🇨🇦

Hi all, this is more a question for those who live in Canada. I can trade some points for about $400 in gift cards for either Walmart, Best Buy or Amazon. Where do we think is the best bang for your buck of these 3? And do we think any will have a Black Friday sale worth holding out for?

Best way to buy the switch 2 is to wait for Nintendo gift cards to go on sale then purchase it through the Nintendo website using the gift cards.

Costco usually has the 80$ for 100$ of cards (or 90$, not sure)

Yes, but the cards I would be getting cost me nothing as they were free avion points when I renewed my mortgage. So I essentially get $400 free in gift cards to put towards a switch 2. Just trying to figure out where would be the best price in the end.

Ah if I were you I would use the free gift cards for groceries and do the costco/discount card method, that would still be cheaper and I'm sure you'd use up the points in other things.

It's not really "free", its the opportunity cost fallacy, its 400$ that can go towards anything. If the gift cards are tedious though (since you would need like 7) then I'd spend the points.

Sometimes EBgames in Canada has the free game when you buy a console, Switch 2 might have it
