Still can't believe Nintendo hasn't put up a complete set of new rewards in the shop. It's been so long :/

I microwave steaks.
Seriously, i'm sitting on a good 1000 coins right now that i'd love to use on some tangible stuff.

Whew! Made it in the nick of time.
Seriously though, this is by far the quickest I've ever made platinum. Of course, buying Nintendo hardware never hurts.

Hah. No I was just being a goof. See, you actually have about 11 more months to make platinum before the next calendar year.

I got an email for bonus survey too, but mine was all about Swapnote.

I'm pretty sure the expiration date only speaks to adding the credit to your eShop account. Once it's in there, it's yours 'til you use it.
All that overstock of old DS and Wii rewards and random knick-knacks nobody wants... NoA should open Club Nintendo to some smaller market countries in the region to dump all this old stuff to.
Not really adding but more registering the codes for both games to qualify for this promo. After doing that, you still have till December 31 to register the download code that you will get.

Got a new Wii U, waiting for Nintendo to get back to me in regards to getting my CN unlinked from my old NNID to link to my new one... with that being said, if I bought games from the eshop before linking, would I still get the coins for them once I get it linked, or should I wait to purchase anything from the eshop until then?
You have to link it first or you won't get the coins (I've lost a bunch of coins because of that).

Thanks. Also, how does it work in general? If I create an NNID, buy eshop content, and then delete the NNID, is said content gone, or will the content be available for any NNID on the same console?

I've never done this thing before so I took about an hour to enter all the codes I've collected over the past few years. I've got nearly 2000 points. Will I get to choose an elite gift this year? I read the op and I didn't find the answer to that. It reads like I would have to be a platinum member in July to pick the prize. An I reading that right?
If so I'm just gonna blow all these points on whatever.

You hit Platinum for the year, which will end on June 30, 2014.
You get to choose whether you want the Platinum pirze or the Gold prize for this year (we won't know what it is until the year ends).
Your Platinum or Gold prize will not cost you any coins, so you can spend your coins on whatever you want, whenever you want, so long as your coins don't expire.

It didn't ask me after doing the transfer. I guess it links it automatically...

You have to redeem the code before the end of the year but you don't have to spend the credit right away.
I believe you have until the end of 2013 to actually use your code
I was in the same position but then EarthBound dropped on Wii U, and my decision got made for me

I just hit Gold for 2014 and finished all the queued surveys that fell in this CN year.
I'm sitting on a ton of codes I could put in, but what is the best way to continue?
1) Enter a few codes now for the most recent releases for maximum coinage?
or
2) Hold off since I might buy things in the eShops and only enter the codes next June if needed, though they might be worth less then?

So, uh, I've been throwing my head at this problem for the past half hour and decided that this seems a better place to ask (and do) than anything else. The Club Nintendo site, uh, isn't actually letting me sign up. I get most of it done, put in my birth-date, username, address, etc, checked if I've checked off the Terms and Services, and finalize... then it kicks me back to the Club Nintendo home-page. And I don't get a confirmation eMail or anything like that. And yes, I've checked my spam folder. I've tried with more than a few eMail addresses, and wanted to know if anyone else ran into this problem? I'd love to get this done before the SMTIV + FE:A promotion ends.
did you try a different browser? The website is very finicky at times.

Is your browser up to date? Try a different one maybe? Sorry, I haven't experienced this problem, I transitioned from a My Nintendo account.
*edit* beat
thats alot of code jackin, no way you buy that much shit.
that's nothing compared to some people
PM me. I'll take them. Wait, can they be redeemed on the NA club Nintendo site?
Surely u-Jest
Of course not. Haha
New prizes better be good this time. Haven't had one that appealed to me in a while.
They need to bring us those shirts, I have no idea why NOA refuses to add them.
I like the game prizes better than physical ones
But REALLY, they should start offering some WiiU games. Its getting ridiculous.
Okay people... I have kind of a problem with my CN Account and I don't know where else to post this. I trust you guys.
The thing is that I'm not from the US, I'm from Chile. It's not something rare to have a Club Nintendo account and just use your coins for the monthly free digital game and stuff, just taking advantage of a service that should be not only in North America but Central and South America, too. Lately I had something like 1200 coins (gotten by purchasing new games here and my new Nintendo 3DSXL) and two SMTxFE $30 promo codes gotten by me and my sister buying the games (I registered one pair in my own account and another in my sister's linked family account created just for that. She decided to gift me the code thanks to my birthday coming up and I used both on my console).
The problem is that this August 27 I noticed that I couldn't enter my Club Nintendo account since it was locked. Sent an e-mail to customer support and I received this response:
Then, I turned my 3DS on and Cave Story, a game that I bought the 22 of August thanks to my FExSMTIV promo money dissapeared from my main menu. Searching on my account activity in the eShop I found this (I'll link some photos when I get home):
It seems that Nintendo decided that my account was weird or something and pulled the money from one of the SMTxFE promos and the content/games bought with that money. AND also decided to lock down my CN account.
Now, I would call their customer attention number (it's free on Skype) but my situation here as you can see is really complicated. My spoken English is not really THAT good and I don't have a real US address. Not mentioning that the whole "Please have your reference number ready at the time of the call" quote makes me think they will try and call it...
What would you recommend me to do? I really feel like losing a lot with this, and potentially losing my CN account at top of it is... really really bad. Not only games are overpriced here, but sometimes really hard to get by.
Please, what do you think of this? Can anybody shed some light or/and try to help? It would be very, VERY much appreciated.
PS: Sorry for my English, not my natural language so maybe some stuff can be confusing. Feel free to ask me anything.

You mean like those Pikmin and TW101 tshirts? Yeah I would probably get them if they were offered too.
I'd take an XL dock charger as well.
At the very least, the games can eventually be upgraded on WiiU for dirt cheap.
We're probably not going to see WiiU VC games until next year, and Nintendo has barely put out original WiiU shop content, so even longer wait there...
Sorry to hear about this
I'll help quote this to the top of the page so any one that can help you can see it
Wow, I had no idea they could make games disappear that were already on your system. That's so creepy! The only good thing about it is if someone steals your system they can possibly take the games away off the original system, which I guess then justifies why they can credit you with the games again on another system.
