Something I didnt know as a day 1 switch purchaser -

"Nintendo offers a points system that can bag you discounts on future digital purchases. When buying a digital game, you’ll automatically be awarded points, but it’s also possible to earn points for physical purchases.
When a game cartridge is inserted into the Switch, hover over the game on the homescreen and then press on the Plus button. Scroll down to My Nintendo Rewards Programme and then click Earn Gold Points. Unfortunately, you’ll need to register a game within two years of its original release date in order to claim the points, so you’re out of luck if you’ve got a collection of older games.
If the game qualifies, you’ll then earn some Nintendo points. In the UK, each point represents a penny, so 220 points will equate to a £2.20 discount. In order to use these points, head over to the eShop, select a game to purchase, proceed to purchase and then click on Use Points for a discount."

Adding to that: digital games earn more coins when bought from 3rd party versus eshop given the equal price.
