BF Switch Games can be purchased digitally from Gamestop US / Amazon US for USD$40 + No tax

11/23 - prices changed from usd$25 to $40 + no tax so now only marginally better than CA prices. Still available but not hot anymore.

Includes Zelda BOTW, Paper Mario, Splatoon 2, Kirby, Xenoblade Chronicles, etc.

The games that are on BF sale in Canada for $55 are available digitally from Gamestop US or Amazon US for USD $40 (were 25), no taxes.

To get this deal using PayPal you need to:

1. Create a Gamestop account on the US GS site.
2. Create a Paypal account on US Paypal site. Add your Canadian Credit Card to the US Paypal site using California as the state and 92612 as the Zip. Use your Canadian street name and city name that matches your CC billing address.
3. Place an order on Gamestop and checkout using Paypal.

Code is emailed to you in less than 5 minutes. Some are reporting it can take a couple hours though. Not sure why.

If you don't want to use PayPal then you can buy directly from GS as well. I chose to use PayPal as I was worried it wouldn't go through so I wanted the extra buyer's protection. If you go direct, then here's the format you need to enter your postal code as the zip code.

You'd put in 31100
the 3 digits of your postal code in order, then 2 zeros

If you still can't get it to work then try this tip as well.

I once worked at a bank. The network does not care about the fields you complete, only that all the data required as a part of your billing address is present.

In address line one put a random US address.

In address line two put your COMPLETE billing address. Include your postal code and exclude Canada.

Fill out the remaining address fields with the corresponding US address from line one. For country also put US.

That's all. The only thing that will block you will be your own bank for security measures, you can call them and lift those blocks. This trick usually does not work on international countries outside of North America.

Instructions to try for Amazon purchases:

Go to amazon.ca account page -> Manage Your Content and Devices -> Preferences
Change Country/Region Settings to United States and add a fake US address (I looked up a hotel in a state with no sales tax).
Switch to Amazon.com and add your digital games and checkout with your canadian credit card using your real billing info (Mine was already saved from Amazon.ca).
Afterwards, change your Country/Region Settings back to Canada and your real address.
