Does Best Buy's reward points usually apply after a pre-order has been shipped? Was hoping to use it on accessories, but I don't recall if they only show up on my account after the pre-order has been shipped.

Furthermore, does the Best Buy Plus promotion for spending $150 on "select Nintendo products" apply to Switch 2 accessories?

If you go to your offers in your dashboard then select “shop now” you can actually see exactly what accessories qualify (hint: it ain’t as much as you might think, for instance the Nintendo-branded Microsd express card does NOT qualify).
 
Has anyone been charged by Target for the Switch 2 Pre-order yet... ? or does Target charge when it ships ?
 
Is that it for Nintendo invites.. I've been waiting but I don't think it's gonna be happening.. when does Nintendo open availability to public ?

More importantly, I haven’t been canceled yet.

Check your pending transactions on your card. My Target order popped back into pending this week after falling off after the initial charge. It'll probably do that at least one more time before the 5th. If you get canceled, it's because your card got tired of this shit and denied it, in which case Target cancels the order without any chance of inputting a new payment method or any way to save it. Target sucks.

Gotcha. Mine was mostly on gift cards with the remainder on a Target redcard so hopefully I’m good.

Yeah that's why I have a red card credit card so I don't have to deal with that on my main card, well and the 5%
 
That's the best protection you can do (redcard/giftcard). We would have opted for giftcard, but a $500 GC there would have taken a long time to chew through if we didn't end up with a Target order.
 
What’s the latest I can change the shipping address for Pre-order (Walmart)?

I’ve got an extra pre-order, and am considering having it shipped to a friend who will pay me back. I wanted to wait until the last moment in case A) he changed his mind or B) my other pre-order got cancelled (Best Buy).

At this point I shouldn’t have to worry about the latter happening, right?

I don’t think I’d try to change anything. If you receive both, they can pay for shipping or just return one.

This, or collect the money up front, if they want to pay you now, then you can change the shipping, I would not change the shipping until I have the physical money from them.
 
that's funny. because I just cancelled my only preorder, at Walmart.com.

These things are going to be everywhere. Just talked to the guy at Target and they're going to have ~60-80 Mario Kart bundles, at the very least. That was a small store.
 
Had to update some stuff last night (my guess is the problem had to do with me switching credit cards after I ordered it), but my Best Buy order looks to be ready for Wednesday night (with the transaction being labeled as "pending" on my credit union account).

I don't know about that. I'd be very surprised if these don't sell out -- at least in the U.S. Launch consoles sell because there is a large core/main base that are more than willing to pick up day-one. The real question will be whether Nintendo can keep selling later in the year.

A lot of Youtubers/podcasters seem to think there is no 3-D Mario game coming this year. I strongly beg to differ. Nintendo has that game ready and we may well see it in the Direct rumored for that week. Nintendo knows it needs a killer app or two, and while Mario Kart and DK may be solid games, Nintendo also well knows its games are ever-green titles (meaning they keep selling past day 1) so there is really no reason to hold onto its killer games for later.

I think we're going to see some major first party games for Switch 2 announced in that Direct for later this year - the next 3-D Mario being one of them for the Fall/Winter. That certainly would follow the schedule for Switch 1.
 
Yep, hopefully we get some summer release dates on good games.. Then in the upcoming direct some surprises on a couple of big titles.. new 3D Mario .. etc etc.. looking forward to thw rest of the year.. I'd love to have The Legend of Zelda The Minish Cap remaster announced & Breath of Fire Collection

Thank you for posting this lol. Reminded me to cancel my Walmart preorder. I have it fully paid at GameStop already and would have ended up with two lol
 
What's really lame about all of these pre-orders is I am seeing a lot of people that have delivery dates of like June 11th. What's the point point of pre-ordering when you are going to be getting it like a week later? I bet a lot of you can just walk into the store and buy a switch 2 on June 5th and just cancel your pre-order If it hasn't shipped yet.
 
I got the late night charge from Walmart too, so it looks like I'll be good to go on launch day. Mine went through fine, but I've seen a lot of people report that theirs got flagged for fraud. If Walmart had done the charges during the day, those people could have responded right away to the alerts.
