Automatic renewal is a feature for customers who would like to continue using a paid service over an extended period.
For example, if you activate automatic renewal for a pass, the pass will automatically renew 48 hours prior to the end of the then-current period, eliminating the need to manually purchase a new pass.
If you activate automatic renewal, when a term is completed, the pass is automatically renewed at the same price for the same term as was initially agreed on for the pass. (However, upon separate notification at the time of activating automatic renewal, automatic renewal may happen with a different term or a different price from the initial term. Moreover, special offers applied only to the initial term are not applied to payments for the next term or any following terms.)
If, while automatic renewal is active for a pass, you purchase another version of the same pass with a different automatic renewal term, the pass will be subsequently renewed with the same term as the new pass, provided that you activate automatic renewal for the new pass. If you do not activate automatic renewal for the new pass, the automatic renewal term of the previous pass will prevail.
Please note that, while a pass is active, it may not be possible to buy the same pass again.
If you activate automatic renewal, when a term is completed, the pass is automatically renewed at the same price from the same day and time in the following month that corresponds to the day and time you initially activated the automatic renewal feature for the pass. (However, upon separate notification at the time of activating automatic renewal, automatic renewal for the following term may happen with a different term or a different price from the initial term. Moreover, special offers applied only to the initial term are not applied to payments for the next term or any following terms.)
If the same day does not exist in the following month, automatic renewal occurs at the end of the month. From the following month onward, it will automatically renew on the same day as that.
During the automatic renewal term for a pass, it will not be possible to buy the same pass again, even if automatic renewal for that pass has already been terminated.
If you have activated automatic renewal for a pass, that pass will automatically renew for successive periods matching the regular original validity period of the pass until automatic renewal is terminated. The automatic renewal price per period is the same as the undiscounted price for the original period of the pass or shown on the details page for the pass. If you already have an ongoing validity period of an automatically renewing pass for a paid service and purchase in Nintendo eShop another automatically renewing pass for the same service, the renewal period and price will match the regular original validity period and automatic renewal price of the pass that was purchased last, provided that you activate automatic renewal for the new pass. If you do not activate automatic renewal for the new pass, the automatic renewal period of the previous pass will prevail.
For each automatic renewal, the automatic renewal price will be deducted from your Nintendo eShop funds. If you do not have sufficient Nintendo eShop funds, the automatic renewal price will be charged to your credit card or the PayPal account registered to your Nintendo Account and set as the payment method for automatic renewal at the time automatic renewal takes place.
You can change your payment method for automatic renewal at any time from Funds and Payment Methods in your Nintendo Account settings.
You can terminate automatic renewal for passes or Nintendo Switch Online memberships at any time up to 48 hours prior to the end of the then-current period. To terminate automatic renewal for a pass, go to the Passes screen, found via Passes in your Nintendo Account settings, then select "Terminate automatic renewal". To terminate automatic renewal for a Nintendo Switch Online membership, select "Terminate automatic renewal" in Nintendo Switch Online in your Nintendo Account settings.
Automatic renewal and payment will take place not earlier than 48 hours prior to the end of the then-current period.
You can also check the deadline to terminate automatic renewal for a pass on the Passes screen, found via Passes in your Nintendo Account settings, or for a Nintendo Switch Online membership via Nintendo Switch Online in your Nintendo Account settings.
Automatic renewal will be terminated if you have insufficient funds and no payment method set for automatic renewal at the time of automatic renewal or if payment is unsuccessful for any other reason. Automatic renewal will also be terminated if you have a set payment method but have selected the "Funds Only" payment option and have insufficient funds at the time of automatic renewal.
You can terminate automatic renewal for a pass by selecting "Terminate automatic renewal" on the Passes screen, found via Passes in your Nintendo Account settings. To terminate automatic renewal for a Nintendo Switch Online membership, select "Terminate automatic renewal" in Nintendo Switch Online in your Nintendo Account settings.
Please note that you cannot change the country/region setting for your Nintendo Account if automatic renewal is enabled. In order to change the country/region setting, you must first terminate all automatic renewals.
Receipts and any other notices regarding your automatic renewal will be sent to the email address registered to your Nintendo Account.
The automatic renewal feature is unavailable for Nintendo Accounts under the age of 18.
