Where to find the best deal for Nintendo Points?

[gtmtnbiker]

I could have sworn this has been discussed before but are there any recommendations for the cheapest places to buy Nintendo points? It doesn't seem like there's really any discounts like there is with XBox live. I think my best option is newegg.com which is selling for $19.99 with free shipping. Second option is TigerDirect for $20.48.

I usually only see deals on MS points but never Nintendo points as well.

I would think of them like Nintendo's first party releases. Those games rarely see a sale price unless it happens everywhere.

The only way I've purchased them below face value was to use a Best Buy reward zone certificate. And that's the only way in about 3 years of watching for a deal on them.

The best I've seen is 19.94 instead of 19.99... something like that. I actually like the stability of the points cards in the sense that I've used them when I had GameStop or Kmart credit and nothing else to buy. Because a Wiipoint is a Wiipoint, at GS or at Amazon. (contrast that with, for example, New Super Mario Bros Wii on sale for 39.99 at Amazon versus a USED copy WITHOUT CASE!! for $44.99 at GS)

I didn't realize until I actually used my points card that I could have bought them using a credit card. Doh!

It cracks me up to see on Amazon that rip-off seller Hit Gaming trying to sell a points card for $52. I'm surprised that they have over 60,000 feedback. It seems most of their stuff is way overpriced.
