  • Launch the Nintendo eShop from the Home menu
  • Select the Nintendo Switch Online option [You will find it on the left side of eShop]
  • Select Free Trial banner
    • If it’s not present:
      • You have already claimed the Nintendo Switch Online seven days trial 
      • You have an existing Nintendo Switch Online subscription
