[Question] Club Nintendo Rewards?

There are two "sets" of coins. Yearly ranking coins that determine if you're Gold/Platinum, and the ones you can spend on goodies.

The first is determined by how many you earn in one calendar year, July 1st to June 30th. This has nothing to do with your current balance. Earn 600 in a year and you'll qualify for the free Platinum reward (Or earn 300 for Gold), which is sent out in the fall/early winter, usually.

You can spend your current balance on anything you want on the reward list, and the amount you've earned in a year won't decrease. So if you earn 700 in a year, spend 500 on whatever, have a remaining balance of 200, you'll still qualify for platinum. But the next year you'd need to get 600 new ones AFTER July 1st to qualify for Platinum again. If you got only 500 or something, you'd be Gold for that year but still have 700 total provided you didn't buy anything else.

Coins for buying shit expires two full calendar years after the end of the current year in which you register them. (So coins registered today would last to July 2013)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

No problem, hope that helps and everything.

And I'll leave it open in case anyone wants to discuss the Club Nintendo rewards themselves, or how to min-max coins per year, or any changes in policy (there seems to be a change in the last few months as to how long you can hold on to surveys before completing them, and carrying the credit over into new calendar years)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

If anyone is interested, the Intend to Buy quiz for OoT 3D is up now. 10 bonus coins if you're at all interested.

Those reversible pouches are still out of stock

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

Japan gets a purchasable (with coins) Donkey Kong Country Returns soundtrack.

How much you wanna bet our platinum reward is toilet paper used by Reggie after a particularly nasty Chipotle run?

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

Still better than coloured DS straps. I would love to see life sized Acer AR photos.

How ya doing, buddy?

It's very similar to the reward Japan got last year, only they also had the choice of a Mario themed handkerchief set or a pin set like this. Just slightly different designs.

That said, I don't mind this one bit. I think with the way you can display it with the different sprites there is kinda cool. I think I'd have preferred a Zelda themed item this year because of the 25th anniversary, but 'eh, these aren't so bad.

I registered my outstanding surveys and codes and got to 510 immediately. My original plan would have gotten me to 600 but the whole register zelda early for the music thing got me, and I never did end up getting post play surveys for my downloaded 3DSware and VCH titles

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
