How To Add Nintendo Account to Family Plan : https //accounts.nintendo.com/family
Purchasing a Nintendo Switch Online Family or Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack Family membership at accounts.nintendo.com/family provides the Nintendo Switch Online service to everyone in the purchaser’s Nintendo Account family group (up to 8 Nintendo Account users).
In this article, you’ll learn how to set up your free 7-day trial Nintendo Switch Online membership.
- When you start the free trial, auto-renewal will automatically be activated for an individual 30-day membership, to begin when the trial ends.
- A payment method for auto-renewal must be entered in order to start a free trial. If you cancel the auto-renewal before the 7-day trial period ends, you will not be charged.
- The Nintendo Account User Agreement, including the Purchase and Subscription terms, applies.
- When you use a credit card to set up automatic renewal, we may receive updated information from your issuing bank or applicable payment service provider about the credit card. This means we may update the saved credit card’s number and expiration date if it is replaced or it has expired. This helps ensure that your subscriptions automatically renew and your purchases complete successfully, even if your credit card information changes.
Nintendo Account users in countries where the Nintendo eShop is available can sign up for a free trial individual membership for Nintendo Switch Online.
- The free trial is available once per Nintendo Account.
- The free trial can’t be used with Nintendo Accounts that already have an active individual or family membership. However, it can be used after the end of your existing membership. (Note that your auto-renewal settings may need to be adjusted for your current membership.)
How To Add Nintendo Account to Family Plan :
- Select Nintendo eShop on the HOME Menu to launch the Nintendo eShop.
- Select the account you want to use
- Select Nintendo Switch Online on the left side of the screen
- Select Free Trial from the banner at the top of the screen.
