Grab $20 in free credit with these excellent Nintendo Switch Lite deals
A rare offer
While the handheld-only console has been on the shelves a lot more than its hybrid sibling over the last few weeks, we haven't seen too many Nintendo Switch Lite deals up for grabs. That's understandable - the Nintendo Switch is one of the most in-demand products on the market right now, and even when stock was steady retailers rarely offered discounts.
However, that's all changed this week thanks to a promotional credit offer at Amazon. This Nintendo Switch Lite deal can technically shave $20 off the price of the $199 console, though that saving does come in the form of Amazon credit. Simply add the console to your cart, use promo code 8RLOZI4Z5INC at checkout, and Amazon will credit your account $20 within 7 days of your console shipping.
That's an excellent offer, and one that comes at a time of real shortage for Nintendo Switch deals. Not only that, but there's a range of Nintendo Switch game deals available right now to put that extra credit towards as well.
