[Tutorial] How Malaysian user purchase cheap game in eShop Argentina

Just like other Nintendo switch users, i have tried many credit card to place order for a discounted game in Nintendo eShop Argentina however i get no luck to finish it using my credits cards at first.

With just a little faith, i manage to figure out a way to achieve it by following steps :
1. Get ready BigPay using virtual card.
2. Get Ready Argentina Nintendo eshop account.
3. Go to Nintendo eShop from your console
4. Link Nintendo Switch Console account to eShop account (Argentina).
5. Click on top right corner (which is your account profile icon)
6. Go to Datos de la tarjeta de crédito
7. Enter BigPay virtual card details
8. For the Provincia, select Santan Cruz
9. For the CUIT / CUIL, key in 11-11111111-1 then click on Guardar
10. Now go to the game that you wish to purchase click on Proceder a la compra
11. Done !

Hello, does this still work for you? I’ve been having issues with my other cards and am considering trying this as last resort

Can confirm it works. Just make sure you top up your Bigpay account before attempting to add the virtual card to your Nintendo Eshop account.
No, you don’t need a BIgpay argentina account @ Nazirul
Yes, make sure you use the Virtual card instead of the physical card @ Nicole

Just tried today too after finally getting my card approved but having the same issue. None of my cards work in any country or region so I assume it’s also a Nintendo block.
