How to Get a Free Trial of Nintendo Switch Online
Nintendo Switch Online may be one of the most overlooked online gaming subscriptions out there. And while it’s already pretty cheap to purchase at $19.99 per year, Nintendo is offering a limited-time 14-day free trial of its online service.
How to Get a Free Trial of Nintendo Switch Online
Nintendo is offering this free trial only as part of the upcoming March 10th Day (March 10th) celebration. The trial is available to anyone with a Nintendo Account, even if you have participated in a free trial in the past.
To sign up for the 14-day free trial, you’ll need to visit the My Nintendo website . Once there, log in and find the “Redeem Points” button. You will be taken to a page with many different rewards. Find the Happy MAR10 Day reward that recognizes a 14-day free trial of Nintendo Switch Online and click on it. You will be taken to the activation page where you can redeem the offer and add it to your account.
As I noted above, this offer is only available for a limited time, and it’s not often that Nintendo offers trials like this. In fact, the offer is only available until March 18th at 11:59 pm PT. So, if you want to try Nintendo Switch Online, now is your chance to do so.
