[Multiplatform] Club Nintendo Liquidation Station: Everything Must Go (to redeem The Wonderful 101)

Club Nintendos worldwide are shutting down this year in preparation for a new customer reward program that will presumably be even less convenient, because that's how Nintendo rolls. After March 31 (North America) or September 30 (Europe), all those codes that are currently packed with games will be useless. This means that we'll no longer be able to buy fifteen different Brain Age games off eBay in order to redeem enough points for one digital copy of F-Zero on Virtual Console. This is a sad. It is at least one sad. Probably no more than two.

So what are we going to do about it? Well, this thread is here to help everyone get their affairs in order, in whatever that might mean to you.

Do you have spare Club Nintendo codes that you're not going to use, because either you don't need the points or you think the whole enterprise is silly? Post your list of games here and donate your codes to someone needier than you. It's probably best if you just post your games and have people PM you to work it out, unless you want your codes sniped.

Do you have points in your account that you're not going to use? Well, first off, if you're in North America you should redeem 600 coins for The Wonderful 101, because that is the best deal Nintendo has ever offered. But if you already own TW101 because you're an absolute boss, then maybe you can use up your points by giving another GFF member a gift. Physical rewards you can change the shipping address for, and digital rewards just give you a download code that you can pass on to your recipient.

Anything else? Need some recommendations for what to use your points on? (The answer is The Wonderful 101. Get one for yourself and also gift it to a friend.) Just want to talk? We can talk. How's it going? Have you tried The Wonderful 101 yet? That game is excellence cubed.

I'll probably have some codes/points to give away after I do all my final entry and redemption, hopefully some time in the next few days.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

On the Wii U, you don't even need to download them to get coins/surveys, you just need to add them to your account. I bought a bunch of games at Christmas for last-minute Deluxe Digital Promotion points and immediately canceled all but the one I wanted to play first, and I still got coins and the post-play surveys for all of them.

I'm assuming it works on the 3DS if you select Download Later and then stop the presents on the home screen, but I haven't tried it.

I just tried this out and got the registration surveys, so it works.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This afternoon after karts I finally sat down and figured out my Club Nintendo situation. I busted out a spreadsheet and worked out a plan for codes and prize redemption where I'll reach platinum exactly and have ten coins left in the bank, which is pretty nice.

After that I looked up the values for all my spare codes to count how many coins I'd have to give away, and the number is 930.

NINE HUNDRED AND THIRTY

So, to help me figure out whether I want to be Uncle Scrooge or Santa Claus with this dragon's hoard of coins I'm sitting on, I'm going to pose y'all a headcount question: how many of you want coins? Because I can probably bankroll platinum status or rewards for several of you if necessary.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

All right, I have a couple of last minute codes to give away. These are both with 60 coins + 10 for the post-play, but you're going to have to enter them quick because the post-play only unlocks after a week and CN ends in two and a half.

I have Pikmin 3 and The Wonderful 101 available for whoever PMs me first. Claim one or both, whatever you want.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
