yes you can
Can you safely change your payment options?

Every dollar matters.

The product isn't out yet. An anticipated tech product selling out its preorders is not a "ridiculous supply shortage."
Amazon was a day late on the Last Guardian collectors edition that I ordered for my sister months in advance. Since she wanted to play it on launch day after waiting for this game for so long I got her a local collectors edition with Best Buy in store pick up. Took them a while to find the thing because their inventory system had listed things from a shipment that they were still sorting. The Amazon order arrived the following night and got a hassle-free return. So, Best Buy in-store pick up wins the release day reliability test for me.
Newegg is typically late getting these things up. They didn't have any Switch listings until Sunday. I've been checking them ever since the Nintendo presentation and I don't think the console was ever available for pre-order. They listed Mass Effect Andromeda as "out of stock" up until the release date was officially announced back in early January. They don't even have BotW standard edition available.

it's risky, as any changes moves you down the queue
How trustworthy are they? Sorry if that's a stupid question. Never heard of them

I stopped my Amazon Prime sub because they kept fucking up my release date delivery on games for about 3 months, without ever getting the games to me on the right day (usually like 3 days after). For me, the store pickup and Best Buy shipping has been 100% consistent for about 3 years so far. Helps that I buy games so much that my store knows me. I'm in and out in less than 2 minutes with my game.
Address changes have a possibility of delaying your order or getting it dropped due to reduced shipping priority and/or lack of stock. It's not a sure thing that you'll face any issues, but you're better safe than sorry when it comes to highly sought after items that are sold out.
All in all, you should avoid editing your order unless it's crucial to do so. If you want some reassurance, contact support to make the changes and confirm whether or not it would be affected.
Adding gift card credit won't change your order's priority.
Newegg is the only preorder I would take over Amazon simply because no tax.
I'm definitely looking change over to Newegg because of that, I've gotten all of my consoles from them with no tax. That $26 could go towards Zelda.

We really should get this thread back to what it's real purpose is: Amazon Neon Watch 2017
jk, but kinda not :''''(

Don't worry, if it ever does go up, we'll all act accordingly.
Help please ={
I've bought before from them (two 1-year PS Plus subscriptions), and I've read about other people buying from them, and no one had any problem.
Almost instantly after buying you receive a mail with a link that takes you to the page with the code.
I've only done the Best Buy thing once but it went fine. Amazon has always given me fantastic customer service and I've never not gotten what I ordered, but it's basically a coin flip if I'll get it on release day or the day after.

Ah, gotcha. Makes sense. Yah, I'd say that kind of stuff is being saved for later when they need to refresh the appeal of the console to people who haven't jumped in yet. Companies know your early adopters and enthusiasts will be there Day 1, so they save the more enticing special edition stuff to grab new buyers later. I'll probably double dip if something like that does happen and sell my launch console.
Seriously. stoooppppp

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
That's when you buy a second one
Gah, I think I'm going grey for now, thanks to the person in this thread who pointed out how distracting neon would be under the TV and then will wait it out for a more LE second set...Maybe spice orange?!

Thanks for the replies guys. I think I may go the Best Buy midnight in-store pickup route for my neon console. Will just have to wait the next day for Breath of the Wild to come in (Amazon Prime Discount), if Amazon never puts up the pro controller either, I may just pick that up in-store as well.

yes, that is fine. as long as it is preordered status, you should be ok. the problem is when you try to modify by adding items, that when the order can get screwed.

Two ways to read this. Amazon and Nintendo aren't on the same page in terms of Neon allocations, or Amazon is holding the Neon back to get a second boost to their traffic/pre-orders because at this point everyone is foaming at the mouth for the Neon.

Can we just get this thread locked until Amazon actually has Switches in stock again?
It's not like we lack other Switch threads at this point.

I agree. Every time I see this thread pop up I check in really fast to see if another batch of preorders went up. lolCan we just get this thread locked until Amazon actually has Switches in stock again?

Gotta disagree. This thread helped me get my Zelda preorder as well as Neon Switch preorder through GameStop. Unless there is another thread where people are actively watching product pages I hope this one stays open.
It probably wouldn't be unlocked quickly enough to alert anyone or be useful. I recommend maybe not immediately assuming this thread getting bumped means there's new stock, since, as you say, that hasn't been the case for the last ~50 bumps. I think there's still space for this as a place to discuss Amazon availability of Switch related items. Get a handle on your Switch anxiety and be patient.
We should all be relying on nowinstock.net anyway for stock notifications, not this thread

I mean, it's a thread to discuss preordering Switch consoles and accessories from Amazon...Which is what people are doing.
I don't think the thread is supposed to function as a stock notification service, it's not like we lack services for that at this point.

They say that every time.

Remember when we put our names on that list in this thread so we got PMed about it being up? Seems silly in retrospect; more useless than using Amazon's notification system.

No.
It should be kept open. Mods can update the title when it becomes available.

If anyone is interested a group of us GAF folks have put together a Switch chat using the LINE app and made an alert chat as well. You turn notifications off for the chat group and can just come chat with us about the Switch, but leave notifications on for the alert group so you will get text message like notifications when we alert consoles, accessories and more. It has been a really fun group to chat with during the announcement and I am sure it will be great leading up to launch too.
Everyone in our group got a pre-order for everything they have wanted so far from consoles to the Master Edition. Feel free to PM me if you want an invite and if you need help setting up LINE. LINE is a chat app for iOS, Android and desktop (Windows/Mac).

Use NowinStock.net. They are good about sending alerts and can send text messages. When the Switch first went up at like 2:17 AM Central after the conference I got a text message about it. They also helped me grab Amiibos, Majora's Mask special edition, etc way back when.
They also have alerts you can set up for Switch accessories too.

I honestly wish retailers would just have a waiting list setup.
Limit it to one per customer and allow me to place an order so that whenever they become available they charge me for one and send it my way.
