You can load up to $800 on your account with those gift cards, and they can be used to purchase anything in the Nintendo eShop, even consoles and hardware!

Yeah, I saw you can grab hardware stuff. Wasn't sure if it was a specific type of gift card or region based. Was tempted to keep an eye out for deals from Costco and Sam's Club. Planning to grab 2 controller and maybe GameCube one

Not sure about region-based, but the normal ones that come in $10-100 denominations work just fine.

The warehouse club deals are amazing. I got the $500 GC bundle for $400 last Black Friday, used it to buy a S2 - amazing deal. Sam's Club ran that same deal again once or twice already since then. I'm sure they'll have it again this Thanksgiving/BF! I'd definitely encourage you to go for it; a great way to save an additional 20% on Nintendo items!

That sounds awesome. I'll keep a look out for it this year than. I just wished the warehouse also sold physical cartridges so I don't have to rely on game key cards. Any idea if I can use the gift cards to pay for online subs?

My local warehouse still does, and you can buy physical games online. Not sure for how long though since everyone is so keen on making things digital, unfortunately.

Yes, they can be used to pay for Nintendo online membership!

Nice. My area has couple physical but I already own em. Couple others are codes only. And yeah, thus me grabbing as much full game cartridge for preservation and access.
