Currys Has Gaming Gift Cards at 15% Off Today: Perfect Timing for Nintendo Switch 2

Currys have been hitting us hard with the discounts lately, but the UK retailer is back with not just giving us a deal on Nintendo eShop credit, but also offering 15% off gift cards for PlayStation, Xbox, Roblox, EA, Meta Quest, and even EA Sports FC points. When you use the discount code "PERKS15APRIL" at checkout, you'll get 15% knocked off the price.

Right now, you can grab the £50 Nintendo eShop digital gift card—the one featuring Bowser—for just £42.50. That’s a straight £7.50 saving, but the real win is that you still get the full £50 credit to spend however you like on the eShop, whether that’s on games, DLC, or a Switch Online subscription.

This kind of deal is a no-brainer if you’re already planning to pick up digital games in the near future, and it's especially useful with the Nintendo Switch 2 on the horizon (preorders are now live, by the way).

Plus, Switch 2 games are going to be cheaper when bought digitally (e.g. Mario Kart World, which has been confirmed to cost £75 physically in the UK, but £67 digitally), meaning you’ll get even more value out of your eShop credit compared to physical copies.

If titles like Donkey Kong Bananza or the premium-priced Mario Kart World are on your wishlist, stacking discounted credit now is one of the smartest ways to take the sting out of next-gen pricing when buying digitally.

When it comes to the discounts on other gaming gift cards, PlayStation £150 gift card is by far the best deal in the bunch, giving you a solid £23 discount, meaning you’ll only pay £127 instead of the usual £150. With that full £150 credit, you’re looking at a lot of value.

For example, you could use it to preorder Indiana Jones and the Great Circle for £69.99, and the Digital Deluxe Edition of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach for £89.99. Together, that’s £149.98—so you’ll effectively save £22.98 by grabbing the card at the discounted price.

However, keep in mind that not every gaming gift card on Curry’s list comes with the 15% discount. Currys only seemed to have a limited number of each digital gift card available to sell, making the discount code fail if you add one out of stock item to your basket and try to apply it at checkout.

The way to tell if a gift card is still in stock is to look out for the "Get 10% off marked price" label under each item's price or the "DIGIWEEKENDER10" discount code underneath the title—part of Curry's other promotion which gives you a smaller discount of 10%.
If you see this two labels on a gift card you like, that means the product is available for you to apply the "PERKS15APRIL" code instead and get the larger 15% discount.

If you’re eager to grab the latest games or get ahead of some highly anticipated releases, it’s a good idea to act quickly and lock in this deal before it disappears.
