Sheeeeet. So close to Platinum, which means I'm gonna have to hold out on registering my 3DS.
I'm going to have to register my 3DS to hit Platinum. 300 points short right now.

At least you get 50 points per game now.

Do they usually do that? Because damn it, I'm gonna be about 20 points short.
They had three surveys that popped up last year worth 10 each. I think they only did it last year though so I don't know if they'll do it again this year. The just showed up about two weeks before the year cycle ended and the expired on the first day of the new cycle.

EDIT: What I'm seeing in my history is "Member Satisfaction Survey (10 coins)" and "Thank you survey (30 Coins)" along with a few bonus surveys labeled as "holiday surveys" but I don't remember doing any around Christmas. Maybe I just had those in my queue and I didn't notice them until just before the expiration.

Hm. Guess I'll have to watch out for it, if not I'll convert it to a family account and register one of the many AC:DS copies I have around.

Just a heads up.

If you register your 3ds the survey for it has a very short expiration date. It said it would expire in very early april so I was forced to fill it out now or lose out on the coins.

I was only 100 away from platinum so that's 60 I could have used towards platinum next year :( Bah
 
Up to 800 coins now. Most I've ever heard. I'll probably just wait until some cool 3DS swag hits the store, which I'm sure it will sooner or later.

Is the 3DS only worth 160 coins? :/

I think that's standard now. I entered codes for about 5 games yesterday and they all had an expiry date of one week later.

Are you certain? I just put in the codes (but didn't do the surveys) for both Steel Diver and Pilotwings, and both are listed as "Product Registration Survey: Expires 3/27/2016".

So this was a surprise. UPS just showed up with my 3DS, but the delivery guy also had a large box for me from Nintendo of America. I hadn't ordered anything from them, so I didn't know what it could be. I open it up to find this:

As a special surprise for being a loyal member, please enjoy this gift that includes a Wii Remote Plus controller, a copy of the Wii Party game, and more. Get your friends and family together for your own Wii Party, and get up and active with House Party games plus over 80 hilarious minigames. Thank you for being a member of Club Nintendo!
Sure enough, inside was a copy of Wii Party, a pink Wii Remote Plus controller, a Wii Party tip sheet, two Mii masks, and a $25 Domino's Pizza gift card. Crazy! This is slightly better than the picture of the Mario cast with Reggie's signature.

Does Nintendo have Mary Kate and Ashley working for them now?

But what the hell did you do to make them send all of that? You must have a ton of coins or something. All I've done so far is get platinum status 2 times in a row.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaah?!

I wonder what the requirements are. I've been a platinum member every year and then some so I hope I qualify for this box of generosity.

Whaaa... I want that... but as I've REGISTERED Wii Party, I don't think I'd ever get it.

Any idea why you got picked?

I'm over Platinum by like eighty points after registering two 3DS. I would have hold off on the second one, but I don't think I'm gonna buy any more Nintendo games for the next six months. The schedule looks pathetic.

wtf?? how many points do you have?
 
A) How many coins must you have banked

and

B) How many of those are from games you actually purchased and not codes you snatched from Blockbuster/Gamestop cases?

I don't have a ton of coins at the moment (just 210), but I have redeemed a pretty healthy amount of coins since the program started.

So far, I've gotten:
Both Game & Watch Collections for DS
Game & Watch: Ball
The Zelda and Mario poster sets
The mushroom tote bag
A set of Kirby patches
Grill-Off
One of the fans

Some quick math puts me at 4480 redeemed points so far. How many points have other people cashed in? I'm curious to see how much you need to spend to get this little bundle.

I haven't snatched any codes, I can assure you.

I've been registering stuff on the website since the Gamecube days! Hook me up Reggie!!!

I've redeemed both Game and Watch games for the DS and the tote bag. Thats it, I think.

I have about 300+ coins right now. :(

I will have 500 if am able to register my gfs blue 3ds (already registered my black).
I have no idea what else I can buy to get the last 100 points by June.
Is it June 1 or June 31?

I'm ten points away from the Zelda poster..is that a good grab?
I really like the Zelda poster set. Twilight Princess one is really nice that even my Grandparents when they visited me in town commented on it and the History of Zelda one is great

At the end of June they will announce the Platinum reward for this year. Club Years Run July to June 30th.

Oh ok thanks for the fast response, as long as my status says platinum I am good? I don't need to have the points still?

Nope you can spend the points freely. Once you hit the 600 earned in a year you are platinum for the year

...

That is insane!

Has anyone else gotten this gift? Seriously, I have to figure out how to get my hands on it. I need Wii Party and a Wii Remote Plus, and if Nintendo of America will send me one for "free", I need to know how I can get it.

So I'll be 50 before I ever see that gift (if it still exist by then). lol
 
So this is strange, but when registering my 3DS it says my serial number has already been registered? The package certainly SEEMED factory sealed from amazon. Has anyone else had this message?

Edit: WHOOPS, apparently the number on the manual is different than the number on the unit. That is... strange, but the number on the unit worked. I won't read too into this..

Who did you order the 3DS from?
 
I just joined a couple weeks ago so kinda a clubnintendo virgin. I got a few coins and im not crazy over anything but i need something for my 3ds so i was considering getting one of them cloth bags. so my question is do they add new stuff alot or just get the bag?

They rarely add anything... worth considering

The news bar mentions the change to survey registrations for newly registered products.

New change to the T&C says:

Club Nintendo said:
Do surveys expire?
Yes. In general, Product Registration surveys expire after 7 days, and Post Play surveys expire 120 days after registration. Please review the date listed next to the survey in your To-Do list to ensure that you take the survey before it expires.

So yeah, no more early registrations to get bonus coins in later years... What a pity.

Thank goodness I decided to import the 3DS from the US, though. I shouldn't have any problems making it to Platinum given I'm forced to import everything now, rather than choosing to import or buy local.

bubnbob said:

They've actually been adding some good stuff every few months over the last year. The '10-'11 year is the best so far for sure.
