Switch battle pass purchased on EA

I purchased the ultimate+ on the ea website. My ea account and Nintendo accounts are linked. The purchase went through with the only thing astray being the receipt saying pc download underneath the name of the item. The purchase was processed and I still do not have the content on my switch. I don't have a PC apex account. I tried purchasing the ultimate plus pass through the Nintendo shop and it actually does give me the option to purchase it there, contrary to everyone saying I can only buy exotic shards and coins in the Nintendo shop. Do I need to purchase it through the Nintendo shop now and just chalk that ea store purchase up as a loss? There's genuinely no way to contact EA and even less of a way to get a refund it seems lol. And has anyone bought the pass through the Nintendo store? Does it actually work? And why does the content not show up for my previous purchase even though the EA and Nintendo accounts are linked.

    Ok cool. Seems like that's a pc only app. Once I download that do I also need apex downloaded on that PC? I have steam already I just never got around to downloading apex on it since I like playing on the switch better.

    ArchangelGlaedr​ Yes, you would need to download and launch Apex through the EA App since the purchase was made through your EA Account, (if you login to the game via Steam, it won't work since your Steam Account wasn't the account that had purchased the Battle Pass).

    Gotcha. And once I get that downloaded, it will automatically transfer to the switch since the EA and Nintendo accounts are linked? All this for $20 lol. I do want to get it to work just cause it's easier to purchase through EA than Nintendo.

    Correct, if the Switch Account is linked to the same EA Account, it will have access to the Battle Pass, (along with Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation, if you also have those accounts connected as well).
