I don't have any slots available at the moment, but I thought I would make a thread where people who do have open slots, can leave their openings. So that people who cannot afford the membership, can join someone else's and be able to play it online.

Let's help out those in need!
 
Great thread o/ hope y'all get the online fun you deserve this is extremely generous of others <3
 
I've been offering 5 slots for the last few weeks. Nobody wants to trust an internet stranger with their email address.

I do have a few people on reddit looking for someone to join their family plan. i will send them your way.

If they get you their email addresses, and you to me, I'll take care of it. As of now, I've got 4 slots left.

Alright. I am working on getting that person's email address. It might take me a few hours though. And I will send you any other email addresses I find as well until you are full.
 
I don't really understand how this works exactly?

Is it a family pass and you're giving people membership from that pass?

Yes, exactly. A family plan allows for up to 8 unique members (by email address) for $34.99 a year. I have no use for all 8, but got it to share with my brother, and my best friend. It comes out much less expensive. I'm offering the remaining 4 slots for no charge.

It's an annual plan that I won't renew again until February of 2021.
 
I think part of the concern from individuals is what happens if they want to leave your family plan. Is that possible? What happens to their save data in the cloud (for non AC games) if they choose to part your family plan? What is their recourse if you terminate their membership in your family plan, and how long do they have to react to prevent data loss due to an unpaid balance with Nintendo? On your end, what if someone in your family plan uses the account for cheating? As the account owner of the family plan, are you liable?

You might want to look into this and update the OP with information on these questions. These are all questions I would have before taking up such an offer.

And I don't know any of those answers. I'm just here to offer up a few slots on my family plan.

Down to 3 slots.

Sorry for the multiple posts, I can't see what I've said unless I go to my profile.

The information is on the Nintendo website.

If a Nintendo Switch Online membership expires, users won’t be able to access their Save Data Cloud backups. However, Nintendo will allow users who resubscribe within 180 days to access their previous Save Data Cloud backups.

As for cheating, I think it depends. I'm pretty sure they have the right to terminate any account under the plan, from what I read when I Googled it.
 
Let me know if anyone has a new slot that opens up! Thanks ^^
 
i can't contribute because i don't have any open slots, but i just wanted to say this is such an awesome idea!! the reason i don't have any open slots is because i let a few of my close friends join my family plan because hey, we might as well be family anyway, and i know it's been a huge help for them.

(also, to answer at least one question here: you absolutely can remove someone from your family plan whenever you or they want. my gf has an alt account she used to need online on but no longer does, so she let me remove it so i could put my dad's account back on our family plan since he's started playing NH. it's actually so easy to remove someone from your family plan that it's just a click of a button or two.)
