Dealmaster: Get $30 in Amazon credit when you buy a new Nintendo Switch

Greetings, Arsians! The Dealmaster is back today with more holiday deals to share. Of note are a few deals on the newest model of the Nintendo Switch. Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart all have Nintendo Switch deals right now that include up to $30 in gift cards or promotional credit when purchasing the console at its regular price of $299.

At Amazon, you can get the Nintendo Switch plus a $30 promotional credit (to be issued within one week of the console shipping) for $299. Best Buy has a similar offer, including a $30 Best Buy e-gift card with the purchase of a Nintendo Switch for $299. Walmart's deal includes the Nintendo Switch, $20 Nintendo eShop credit, and a carrying case for $299.

Aside from console-and-game bundles, these are the best kinds of deals you can expect on the Nintendo Switch. The console rarely dips below its regular price of $299, so the more additional things you can get in a bundle price, the better. Retailers typically include games, accessories, and credit in such bundles, and we saw similar deals on the Nintendo Switch during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It's likely that these deals from Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart will be the best deals on the Nintendo Switch that we'll see between now and the end of 2019.

The Nintendo Switch has been one of the most popular holiday gifts since it came out a couple of years ago, and it's worth noting that all of the deals mentioned above are on the newest Nintendo Switch model. This console increases the original model's battery life to a maximum of 9 hours on a single charge, a welcome improvement from the maximum 6.5 hours of battery life in the original Switch.

If you're not in the market for a Nintendo Switch, we have numerous other holiday deals on laptops, wireless earbuds, smart TVs, mobile accessories, and more. Check out the full list of deals below.
