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.

Wii Points at Amazon.com

Are these not in stock at Best Buy yet??

I have not seen them in store since launch.

I asked a main VG dude at the big BB in Tulsa and he said he hasn't even seen them since before Christmas.

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.

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

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.

Oh, well it makes sense then. At first I thought it was a joke because you only save $0.17. I guess if you buy two and save tax, shipping AND $0.34 it makes good business sense.

You're still only talking about $2.40 + $0.34 = $2.74.

6% is 6%. I could see the rationale for ordering through amazon to avoid that extra cost if you could wait for the shipping.

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.).

Apparently, you can only buy one at a time.

Ugh. Hope you're an Amazon Prime member then...

for about two more weeks through the trial, so i put in an order for 3. the tiny discount doesn't really matter to me, but i get triple points on my card ordering through amazon rather than through nintendo.

Me too.

Triple points on your credit card? Or on your Wii points card?

Credit card I'm sure. He probably has the Amazon Visa. I have one two. You get three points on every dollar you spend there, and 1 point on every dollar you spend elsewhere.

I'm a prime member so waiting is just a day or two. A couple of bucks is a couple of bucks.
