Mega 12 + 2 Promotion
You can earn an additional 2 months at no extra cost when you buy any 12-month Nintendo Switch Online membership! Offer ends September 8th.
Yep, looks like it stacks. Mine was due to expire in November but I just purchased another 12 month membership and now it shows it will expire in November 2025. The extra two months will come as a code later apparently.
Does it say anything during the purchase?
On the offer page, in the fine print down the bottom, says a code will be emailed to the registered email address within 72 hours for the additional 2 months free. Doesnt say anything on the actual renewal page itself though.
And for others, confirming that the offer was visible for me under "news" on my switch. Australian switch with Australian account.
Good deal OP, extended my account out to July 2026 (this deal extends any exisitng membership). Just used up the last of my 20% off eshop cards from Coles back in 2023.
@A 1: FYI, Received my redemption code, via email, roughly 24 hours after purchase of the additional 12 months.
Thanks OP, time to watch the classifieds for a family plan to join again.
what is this subscription used for?
Online play, cloud saves, some DLC expansions like the Mario Kart one, and access to a library of classic games (NES, SNES, Gameboy for the regular subscription, plus N64, GBA, Sega Genesis on the Expansion Pack)
10% off Nintendo cards 21st sept. Damn can’t use them to buy membership offer ends 8th sept.
The note on that Vooks page says: Nintendo Australia has yet to confirm all of the above for us here in Australia, however the eShop has updated with the first promotion. We’ll let you know if they differ.
I don’t see eShop being updated with the first (I guess it’s about 12+2 month) promotion. Can somebody please share a direct link?
I’m also an existing and active subscriber, and when I add 12-month membership to the shopping cart it doesn’t say anything about extra 2 months.
Yeah i wonder about this too
It's in the news section on Switch in an article by Nintendo that says this news is for Nintendo accounts in Australia and New Zealand

On an actual Nintendo Switch (as I said in my comment) if you own one and connect it to the internet you can see it for yourself.
Thanks for the screenshot! Have added it to the OP now.
The link in OP is incorrect, leads to a 404 page.
Not seeing it on the website

I forget - does the time stack with existing months remaining? I think mine ends in October, so if it doesn't stack, I'd be losing 2 months to get 2 months!
