In a move that has delighted pre-order customers and confused a few inboxes, EB Games has officially begun distributing the long-promised $20 vouchers tied to Nintendo Switch 2 trade-in deals. Anyone who traded in items as part of their Switch 2 pre-order promotion is now eligible to redeem the digital coupon, which was quietly sent out today.
The bonus isn’t just a token discount—it comes with no minimum spend, giving customers the freedom to knock $20 off anything from a clearance item to a full-priced game or even an upcoming pre-order like Donkey Kong Bananza.
While some may see this as just another loyalty perk, industry watchers are pointing to this as part of a broader push by EB Games to stay competitive in a market where digital storefronts and instant gratification rule.
“They know people are watching their wallets,” said retail analyst Lara Tan. “This is less about the $20 and more about reminding people EB Games still knows how to move product and create buzz.”
Adding fuel to the retail fire, the company also confirmed the return of its “Cheap Tuesday” sales event tonight, with early access kicking off at 6 PM for EB World Plus members and 9 PM for everyone else. These sales have gained a cult following, with past events offering select games for as little as $1, alongside discounted controllers, collectibles, and tech accessories.
Gamers looking for a budget-friendly boost should be ready to act fast—items typically vanish from virtual shelves in minutes.
If you pre-ordered the Nintendo Switch 2 and haven’t spotted the voucher yet, check your spam folder—you might be sitting on free cash.
And for everyone else? Keep your eye on those Cheap Tuesday deals. EB Games is clearly not playing around.
