Wii Points IN STOCK at Amazon.com for $19.82
Add an extra $5 to get free super saver shipping. I've been waiting for Best Buy to get these in stock so I can use a gift card, but with no tax and free shipping, this will satisfy my Wii Points needs.

Depending on where you are (and how paranoid you are about submitted CC information through the WII), buying the points straight through the Wii also has no tax or shipping.
I know when the cards first came out, BB marked them up to 23 bucks or something like that, but I haven't seen them there in a long time.

Thanks for the Amazon tip.
I also had to pay tax here, IN when using the online purchase method. So this so far is the cheapest way to get points for me.

I had to pay tax when I bought points through the Virtual Console. I live in MI.

No tax on ordering through the Wii for me in MD.
Slightly tempted to use some GCs I have at Amazon, but I'm trying to stockpile them to use on a bigger purchase later on (360 if there is a $100 price drop, new digital camera etc.).
