Managed to reload mah 3DS e-shop with $10 last night using my CC!

there's some pros & cons in this method.

I'll list down the simple steps:
1) change your location in the setting menu (under setting, profile) to Canada
2) choose any states (diff states have diff tax, I choose Alberta, seems to be one of the states with lowest taxation)
3) Go into e-shop
4) Agrees to the T&C, if you have some fund left in your existing US e-shop, you won't be able to access it in Canada e-shop, but once you've changed back to US e-shop, its there for you to use again. Don't worry, it won't disappear.
5) Go to setting inside e-shop, go reload and choose your value
6) Key in your credit card details, in my case, I'm using Malaysian Citibank VISA card.
7) Once they ask for your billing address postcode, google for the postcode of the state you've choosen, in my case, Alberta's is T1X 1E1
8) They'll ask if you want to save the info or not
9) Reload SUCCESS!!
10) SHOPPING SPREE!!

OK, now for the pros & cons
Pros
- you no longer need to buy the expensive reload card
- you can get dollar to dollar value
- can reload anytime with your CC
- Canadian dollar much cheaper than USD atm (CAN$=RM3.05, US$=RM3.12)
- E-shop content same like US e-shop, same price too

Cons
- You must have a credit card
- You can't combine your existing reloaded value in US e-shop
- Non of the states in Canada are tax free

just replaced the running out of space stock class 4 4Gb SD card with a class10 16Gb card
now the downloaded games loads much faster, noticeable at the main menu when you first switch on the 3DS, stock card takes a few secs to display the games on the card, class10 takes less than 1 sec

ain't that expensive bro, got my Sandisk class 10 16Gb @ RM55 only
check out lazada, placed order yesterday, got it this morning

I bought similar card 2 years ago around 100 bucks too, now it's only half the price

i just copy pasta my old files from the old sdcard into the new one directly, didn't even format it, so far so good, everything still intact
but I still keep a copy of the old files on my hdd just in case

if not mistaken you'll need at buy at least RM100 to eligible for free shipping, I think same thing for the discount code too
check their T&C, details should be there

nope, i bought it with another microSD card for my phone, so total actually more than 100 already
