When buying something you can select to pay the balance via card. I have added less than a dollar before.

No thats Nintendo issuing an activation code since you exceeded 500
they give the option to pay the balance off by adding WIiU points to your account OR to pay the balance via Credit Card.
i bought tekken and trine2 via wiiu points i added via my credit cards(added 100 dollars ) and bought nano assault via credit card.

So, for example, NSMBU is worth 6,000 pts, right? So I should get twelve 500 credits back? As well as $5.00 12 times? Doesn't that make the game free? I don't get it.Bare with me.
No. You get 599 points back.
NSMBU on the eshop is $59.99 so you get 10% back.
A $59.99 game is worth 599 points.So, for example, NSMBU is worth 6,000 pts, right? So I should get twelve 500 credits back? As well as $5.00 12 times? Doesn't that make the game free? I don't get it.

NSMBU is worth 599 points
500 points = $5 credit
NSMBU is $59.99, and you get 1 point for every 10 cents spent. So you'll get 599 points. This will automatically trigger the issuing of a $5 Nintendo eShop Credit.So, for example, NSMBU is worth 6,000 pts, right? So I should get twelve 500 credits back? As well as $5.00 12 times?

You can then activate the eShop Credit to use towards Wii U or 3DS eShop accounts. Then later you can purchase content from those eShops.

Ohhhh, got it. Also, does this work by discounting the 10 percent from the payment as well? Or is it just receiving 10 percent of those points into your account?
Is this something that we deluxe owners will have foreva? If so, I'm digital from now on, 10 percent off (in a sense if it's just points back) is awesome.

^^^ It's 10% on the value you spend, and yes this is for the forseeable future until at least 2014/15. It's worth noting that retail has better deals than the eshop in nearly all cases (Amazon etc), but I've certainly been buying some stuff digital - I like the convenience of it.
I'm in the UK and ddp.nintendo.com works fine for me, even shows my country of origin and balance in £££. I don't think you need to use a nintendo.ca address or anything.

Giiirl, loook at you! You're half-way theeere... to a free game!
(If a $60.00 game is what you want, that is)
This entire promotion is virtually useless to me. Retail games will always be cheaper than their digital counterparts on the eshop and the digital only games thus far are slim pickings.
There's little point to the whole "save €5" thing when the retail version of the game can be bought for €55 and the digital download costs € 69,99 (I'm looking at you ZombiU).

I'm just using the ddp.nintendo.com address. Site still lists the promo as coming in December.
Ull have to check again later.

No. The game will stay the same price you just get 10% back in point form and you can redeem those points for eshop money.
We get this promo until 2014. Well the end of 2014. Sp we get this 10% bck promom for 2 years.
But games like Warriors Orochi 3 never go down in price.
Same with Rhythm Thief here, still 45€ and it's like $30 in US

That's pretty nice. Digital save us 4 dollars off of every 60 dollar retail game already by there not being any tax, and now with this 10 percent thing, that's pretty nice! Nintendo has to create a cloud though so that I feel safer going digital crazy.

But if I buy 6 more titles to earn $60 then there be no more new titles to buy in the eShop are you listning NOA

I could have saved myself £17 overall if I'd bought NSMBU, Sonic Racing and Puddle from the shops, but the allure of digital was too great tbh. I'm glad of the 10% I'll be getting back (meaning I've really only lost less than a tenner), and I was able to get those games without leaving the house, or without having to wait for a delivery, and I can jump between any of them without leaving the couch or my bed (lazy, I know), and the system runs quietly while playing them too...
I'm probably going to buy both retail and digital here on out. I imagine going digital when I imagine a game is going to be something I'll want to play regularly or jump in and out of a lot... Mario Kart might be a good example

I think you have to click view user settings or something from the user select menu, or do it once you're logged in somewhere

Don't worry, you can always look forward to Pikmin... in Q2-2013.

Huh, weren't we in the UK only supposed to get like 8% back?
I'm seeing this:
"Basis for Points ￡9.24
Points Earned
92pts "
That's not too bad, it's 10% more or less.

8% from the price inc. vat
the "Basis for Points" doesn't include vat

Isn't Trine 2 £9.92 at the moment?
I can't check because the e-shop doesn't show prices on items you've already purchased.

Same message here too. I haven't downloaded anything from the eShop as of yet myself though. I've got the credit sitting in my account and have a few games in mind (Nano Assault Neo and Mighty Switch Force), just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Trine 2 is currently £10.99

lol no, 600 points.
That would be ridiculous =P
Smiles and Cries will be very happy
woot, I have two eshop vouchers. Bought NSMBU, little inferno and Nano assault gives me 1024 points
edit: its giving me 10% on what looks like the pre-tax price (£42 for NSMBU).
heads up - it also gave me 10% points on a nintendoland code from amazon. So those of you with digital codes you aren't planning to use - might be worth using them anyway just to get £5 back for nothing. You £199 deluxe pack people got even more of a bargain
would be nice for nintendo to send out emails when you trigger a voucher - encourage you to visit the shop. I wonder if this will see more sales of the smaller games, or will people use it to make full retail games more palatable?

On the otherhand, they could probably sell those codes for £25

11 Points for first voucher YAY
no, you'll get a voucher for the first 500. Then you'll need 2 more points to get the next one

Can you view your points during the day, or just from 11pm to 3am?

To be exact it gives 8% back on the full price including tax, just so happens in the UK tax is 20% so would make it 10% on the pre tax price
you can be selective though. Nintendo stuff hardly ever drops in price, and is likely to be a regular feature on your WiiU, so its a relatively safe digital buy - still more expensive than discounted online retail, but the 10% helps. Plus of course any eshop only games you might want.
