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 ?

They charge when they ship it. Until then there will be an on again off again "Pending" charge for the total price.

I haven’t been charged yet.

More importantly, I haven’t been canceled yet.

Same here. That’s what I was worried about. I have a preorder at Gamestop too.

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 ?

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.
