$400+tax (13% in ON) =$452

119,700 pc points worth about $179.55 on REGULAR bonus redemption events, which 200,000 points get you $300 off.

Common asking price for a BNIB switch console on kijiji and other secondary market is about $400.

The math works as follows, you pay $452, get $400 back, and get $179.55 future redemption value.

-$452 + $400 + $179.55 = $127.55 net gain.

I personally think it's worth it.

P.S. Net gain is greater if you wait till super bonus redemption event on Black Friday, typically once a year deal.

There's also 20x points back today and tomorrow, So you will get 119,700 pts (close to 120$) back for the purchase.

Even though the Switch console itself is regular price; however, with the points back, you are potentially saving at least 120$ in future purchases!

Rakuten does not work with electronics on SDM.

They will not award you any points for the portion that you paid with points.

TOTAL POINTS89,700 pts
