Seems similar to the Amazon deal on right now. Not the lowest its ever been but decent for Australian website.

Mod 27/3: Thanks to cerealsmok3r

Pay using 20% off gift cards from Target (28/3-4/4) to get it for $379 + Shipping.

Update 1: The obtainable amount appears to be $379 and not the $335.20 originally stated due to the denominations of gift cards available and restrictions present.

Update 2: Users report unlimited gift cards can be used, despite what Catch/Catch terms state. Therefore 8 x $50 gift cards ($400) for $320 & 1 x $20 Gift Card for $16 = $336. Purchase at your own risk (items may go out of stock at any time) and check your local target for stock levels.

    Amazon offers free shipping every day, not much of a deal unless you have Cotd credits :/

    • DaTa on 15/03/2018 - 19:09

      I dont know about others bargain hunters but cotd isn't worth it

      • blergmonkeys on 15/03/2018 - 20:18

        Why is that? I’ve never had a problem and when I had a hard drive fail a year into owning it, they gave me a refund. No complaints from my end?

        Products always come as described and shipping is quick. Just wondering what the issue is?

      I'm out of the loop, what do you mean by Nintendo price jacking? Were the consoles originally cheaper?

      • Merlict on 15/03/2018 - 19:29

        Nothing to do with Nintedo, just the usual OzB circlejerk. There were better deals around Christmas but it was just retailers accepting thinner margins.

        All time low is probably Kogan flash sales or some Ebay coupon.

        • BertieBrown on 15/03/2018 - 19:40

          Ah ok. Yeah, I'm still kicking myself for missing out on some of those deals.

    Australian website but not Australian stock.

    • Edbags on 15/03/2018 - 20:54

      This is super important to note, thanks for pointing it out. May i ask where on the website you found that because maybe i didnt see properly but i couldnt find where they specified. Cheers.

        It doesn't specify anywhere which is a bit sneaky of Catch. I found out through chatting with the customer service rep online.

      Just spoke with Customer Rep on the chat, and they said it was Aus stock.

    Merged from Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Console - Neon Red/Neon Blue $419 ($335.20 w/ Discounted Gift Card) + Shipping @ Catch
    Go to Deal

    All credits to doweyy for the find

    Great price for the Nintendo Switch for those waiting for an amazing deal on the console. This is possible with Target having 20% of Catch off the Day Gift Cards. Prices have not been this low in a few months now and it beats this previous deal. Enjoy! :)

    Here is the link to the Gift Cards:
    https://www.target.com.au/catalogues#page=offer&params=gift-…

    Club Catch can be joined for $6.50 / month to get free delivery on Non-Marketplace items.

    Otherwise its variable cost shipping, and it can range from $10 to $14 depending on your location.

    • Zackyis on 27/03/2018 - 11:57

      Anyone know if it starts 12:01am? Or is there a specific start time? I've never bought from Catch before.

      • doweyy on 27/03/2018 - 11:58

        You need to go into Target to get the gift cards tomorrow to use them on the site.

        • Zackyis on 27/03/2018 - 12:12

          Sorry, I meant for the Switch. Don't have time to go target and buy the gift cards.

          • ZachBlasphemy on 27/03/2018 - 12:17

            @Zackyis: I know that Amazon Aus is selling the Switch for $419 as their regular price.

            @Zackyis: You can buy the switch now from catch if you don't want the $80 saving from using the discounted giftcards…

          • Zackyis on 27/03/2018 - 12:20

            @Zackyis: @Warier:I was misreading it. Guess I got excited seeing a sub-400 switch. Thought it was 335 before using gift cards!

      Grey isnt usually on sale - would recommend over the neon red/ blue

      • drose1 on 27/03/2018 - 12:08

        Why would you recommend it over the neon red/blue?

        • henlll on 27/03/2018 - 12:16

          just a nicer look :)

      • scorpweb on 27/03/2018 - 12:14

        how can u recommend it over the neon? it's just a personal taste thing there is no performance or storage difference

        • henlll on 27/03/2018 - 12:16

          well since i didnt mention specs, only the colour that's exactly what i was going for

          • ihavecentsnotsense on 27/03/2018 - 12:17

            @henlll: But you said you’d ‘recommend’ the grey one, not that you personally preferred to buy it… Why would you suggest other people bought the grey one over the neon one?

    • Chirpy on 27/03/2018 - 12:02

      And i just bought a switch second hand for 360 off ebay. Damn my over eager purchase.

    • acek47 on 27/03/2018 - 12:11

      Are the gift cards fully stackable?
      My understanding is that you can stack up to 5 gift cards, so if we stack 5 x $50 gift cards we're saving $50 at 20% discount. So, the price for the switch really comes down to $369.
      Can anyone else offer some insight?

      • acek47 on 27/03/2018 - 12:13
        +2

        Actually, there we can only stack 4 cards as we will need to pay the balance:

        https://help.catch.com.au/hc/en-us/articles/115003188854-Can…

        So price would come down to $379

        Correct me if I'm wrong

      • captbollocks on 28/03/2018 - 14:51

        You can only use 5 transaction types in the one transaction.

        So unless you can pay the entire balance in 5 gift cards, you can only use 4 gift cards + balance via Credit Card, paypal etc.

        • captbollocks on 28/03/2018 - 23:17

          Ignore this - i just used 14 cards (a mix of $50s and $25 to total $550) in the one transaction LOL.

    • ZachBlasphemy on 27/03/2018 - 12:11

      So tomorrow I go to Target and buy 8x$50 Catch gift cards at $320 then how do I add them to my Catch account? I haven't used this site before.

      • captbollocks on 28/03/2018 - 23:18

        When you check out, it gives you the option to add gift cards as payment.

    • shweky on 27/03/2018 - 12:12
      +6

      Not sure that $335.20 is possible, unless target sells $100 gift cards:

      https://help.catch.com.au/hc/en-us/articles/115003188854-Can…

      Can I use multiple gift cards towards my purchase?
      Yes, you are able to use a maximum of five gift cards (both digital and physical) to cover the balance of your purchase.

      I saw only $50 & $20 gift cards in the target catalogue

      So 5 of the $50 gift cards wont cover the whole amount - the best you can get the Nintendo for would be $369

      EDIT: just saw the comment from acek47 above!

    • oddstodd on 27/03/2018 - 12:14
      +1

      @shweky
      Actually $379, with 4 giftcards + card payment
      "Please note that if you need to pay for the balance of your order using a different payment method, you will be able to use up to 4 gift cards plus your credit card or PayPal account."

      Edit: Someone beat me to it

    • ihavecentsnotsense on 27/03/2018 - 12:19

      Isn’t it a huge risk to buy gift cards at Target in the hopes that Catch will still have stock of the Switch tomorrow? How long have Catch been selling the Switch at this price? It’d suck to buy hundreds of $$ in gift cards only for the Switch to be out of stock…

      • RichardL on 27/03/2018 - 17:25

        I have to agree, way too risky to be stuck with Catch Gift Cards

  • ce5himm on 27/03/2018 - 13:59

    Jb is selling at 449, and if I use my 15%off gift card from last deal. I can easily get 381.65 which I think is better than take the risk. I am waiting for jb price down to 399 again.

  • RichardL on 27/03/2018 - 17:18

    Too risky for my liking. What happens if I buy the Catch Gift card and the Nintendo Switch is out of stock….I'll be stuck with Catch Gift card.

  • Mr Spud on 28/03/2018 - 09:39

    Just purchased on Catch using the Target Gift cards.
    There is actually no limit to the amount of Gift cards used.
    $400 worth of gift cards purchased for $320.
    $419 console + $9.95 delivery.

    Price of Console (including delivery) = $348.95.

    Cheering.

    Advice to others making the same transaction. Purchase $425 worth of Target Catch Gift cards, and save that extra $5.

    • Kenzoic on 28/03/2018 - 15:06

      Hi can you or anyone confirm with the amount of gift cards that can be used in one transaction? Would really like to buy if this is possible

      • blob2004 on 28/03/2018 - 16:33

        I used 11 in total (9x$50 and 2x$25) in one single online transaction. I would say there is no limit.

      • elit3ge on 28/03/2018 - 18:45

        I used 9 (8x$50, 1x$25) no issue.

      • captbollocks on 28/03/2018 - 23:20

        I used 14 (8 x $50, 6 x $25) - no issue.

  • blob2004 on 28/03/2018 - 11:42

    Can confirm you can use more than one gift card.

    I bought 10 x $50 gift cards at 20% discount because I also wanted to buy mario odyssey (too bad they didn't have zelda).

    So basically paid $400 in total for the gift cards for the switch + mario odyssey.
    That is basically ~ $335 for the switch (rrp $418) and ~ $53.5 for mario odyssey (rrp $67).

    Plus $10 shipping but I made mine express shipping (extra $5.95) as I had $5 left on my gift card with nowhere to use.

    Huge saving, better get in now before the switch or catch gift cards get out of stock. Better than the Kogan deal. Only worse than the Harvey Norman Amex deal but who knows if that deal is going to come around again.

  • captbollocks on 28/03/2018 - 17:15

    I can also confirm there's no limit to gift card usage - i just bought $550 worth of goods on COTD using:
    - 6 x $25 gift cards
    - 8 x $50 gift cards

    On a related note: Doncaster VIC didn't have any COTD cards, so I cleaned out Forest Hill - I think there's only 2 x $25 cards left ;-)
