Nintendo Switch Online FAQ

How much does Nintendo Switch Online cost per month?

Pricing changes often. ScamGuard tracks the latest advertised price for Nintendo Switch Online above — but always confirm on https://nintendo.com/switch-online before paying.

Will I get a refund after I cancel Nintendo Switch Online?

Nintendo Switch Online usually lets you keep access until the end of the billing period you already paid for. Pro-rated refunds are rare for streaming and consumer apps — request one in writing within 14 days if you believe you were billed in error.

Is Nintendo Switch Online a scam?

Nintendo Switch Online is a legitimate service, but criminals impersonate Nintendo Switch Online in phishing emails, SMS and fake "renewal" pages. If you got a payment or renewal message, scan it with ScamGuard before clicking any link.
