Can I Purchase Multiple Nintendo Switch Online Memberships to Extend My Membership Time?
Information
You can purchase or redeem download codes for multiple copies of the same membership to extend your overall membership time. For example, if you purchase a Nintendo Switch Online individual membership of any time length when you already have a Nintendo Switch Online individual membership, the time will be added on to the end of your current membership period. The remaining time on your account can be increased up to 3 years.
Please note that you cannot combine time from different memberships when redeeming download codes. You will receive whichever amount of time is longer.
If you purchase a family membership or a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership using a Nintendo Account that currently has a membership, you will be offered a discounted price based on the number of remaining days on your current membership. After purchasing the discounted membership, your current membership will end and the new membership will begin. Review our Information on Changing a Nintendo Switch Online Membership for more details.
- Please note that this does not apply when redeeming download codes. If you have an existing Nintendo Switch Online membership and want to redeem a download code for a different membership, you may receive an error message, or the different memberships may run concurrently.
Examples:
- If you have 35 days remaining on your individual membership and you purchase an additional individual 12-month membership, your remaining time will be increased to 400 days.
- If you have 35 days remaining on an individual membership and you purchase a family 12-month membership, the price of the family membership will be discounted, the remaining 35 days on your individual membership will be removed, and you will begin your family 12-month membership.
- If you have 35 days remaining on an individual membership and you purchase a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack family membership, the price of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership will be discounted, the remaining 35 days on your individual membership will be removed, and you will begin your Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack family 12-month membership.
- If you have 35 days remaining on an individual membership and you are added to someone else's family membership, your individual membership will continue and will not be added to the family membership. Make sure to adjust your automatic renewal settings for the individual membership appropriately.
- If you are part of a family group with someone who has 35 days remaining on a family membership and you purchase a family 12-month membership, both memberships will run concurrently and will not add together. Only the user who bought the original membership can extend it by purchasing an additional family membership.
- If you are part of a family group with Nintendo Switch Online family membership, you will receive error code 2813-0141 if you try to redeem a download code for a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack individual membership.
- If you already have a Nintendo Switch Online individual membership and you redeem a download code for a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack family membership, your individual and family memberships will not be combined but will run concurrently.
