Ok, so I entered my pin yesterday and did the survey....then the site when down for maintenance. Today I log in and enter the code again and it says "The PIN you entered has already been registered. Each PIN may only be registered once."
Edit:
Went to ddp.nintendo.com to sign in and got this message....

Ah damn. All my games are digital. I was hoping it was possible to exchange download codes (not the actual games).

When redeeeming a code to get a free game, do you get 10% of it's e-Shop price back as part of the Deluxe Digital Promotion? Or do you get less/nothing?

YES! I finally got it!
Took me like a billion tries, but I did it! Now, one thing I've learned, in case no one else mentioned this before: If when you sign in, your coin total doesn't appear, sign out and try again. When this happens, the message saying the reward was already redeemed appears. Sometimes, it also happens that when you sign in the window for selecting the reward doesn't appear, so sign out and try again.

I did it early in the am east coast time and it all worked flawlessly.
Apologies if this has been asked but If I'm from Mexico can I still get a free game if I just create my Club Nintendo account and everything?? Even on the eShop says that this is only for US and Canada but I just have a bit of hope this could work in some way here. Thanks in advance.
okay I have all the games on disc, help me pick one to have it always on my system
-prefer multiplayer ones... since WiiU is really a multiplayer heaven!
Wii Party U (played this during parties
New Super Mario Bros U (game still sealed) - kinda inclined to this... and getting NSLU digital?
Pikmin 3 (game still sealed)
Zelda Wind Waker HD (finished the gamecube version, game still sealed)

Your eshop account has to be from US too, that's what I do to get club nintendo stuff, so if you have set your console to Mexico:
Im from MX but i have an US nintendo account, it works for me i got pikmin 3

Thanks for answers, guys! So that means that I have to change the country from MX to US on the Wii U settings in order to do the process?

I never redeemed this. How likely is it that I'll get a CN email with the code if this came up on my first time to the page?
Yeah, this just happened to me, anybody know whats up?

Don't worry too much about the "Reward Already Redeemed" message. That's just the site glitching out. I had that message several times today and still managed to get my code. So wait a bit, then try again later.

Alright thanks, I started sweating a bit until the site keep signing me out for no reason and when I sign back in it lets me try to do it again, no luck so far, but atleast I know I will be able to get it some time later.
Well, I got my code for my free game and I'm still getting the notice about qualifying for the free game and I have neither coins nor a survey showing for having registered Mario Kart and entering the code again just tells me I've already registered it.
Yeah, CN is weirding out right now.

I'm really considering buying a Wii U for this. I think a good E3 would put me over the top.

Club Nintendo has been down for me every time I've tried to get on today. =/
E3 will show already announced games mostly, just more footage. However, the intriguing part is Iwata said he will be showing all games in development at E3, meaning gone is the "don't show it unless it's coming out within the year" philosophy.
Confirmed to be shown for sure is:
Smash Bros.
Bayonetta 2
X
Hyrule Warriors
2015 games most likely to be shown
Zelda
Yarn Yoshi
Fire Emblem x SMT
That's 7 games right there that are announced and have footage to be shown. I'm curious if there will be new games not yet announced (different colloborations not expected, Metroid, Star Fox, anything with Platinum again, etc.)

Add me to the club of people that are having issues. I entered my MK8 code, it timed out my login, then when I tried to redeem Pikmin, I got the "already redeemed" error.
I don't even care what the problem is, I just hope Nintendo fixes this for everyone having the issue.

Good lord. Fucking finally it goes through. I hope if Nintendo does a similar offer again they put a bit more preparation into it.
Could not decide between Wind Waker and Pikmin 3. Never played a Pikmin yet was always curious. Played Wind Waker and while I liked it, it was the definition of rental game for me. No real bad memories of it, but no real great memories of it either other than
Finally settled on Pikmin.

Every time I try to access the site on my computer I get a maintenance page. I didn't think much about this, but the page loads on my phone. Anyone else getting this?

man this is great deal
FINALLY
got the website to work. Going to get NSMBU and give my disc copy away.
I do have one question though for any Wii U experts:
is there a way I can tell the Wii U to download to my usb drive first? I went to download the game and I didn't have enough room on the Wii U even though I have a 32gb flash drive in the wii u. It's like the system wants to save it to the wii u first and then I have to move things over to the usb drive later, manually. Is there a way to avoid this? I thought the Wii U would just pull from whatever memory is free, I really hope that's the case and I'm just being an idiot and forgetting something.

Oh crap. I redeemed promo, got the Wind Waker code but just left the browser window open. Didn't grab the code and accidentally closed the browser. Epic fail.
They should've emailed me the code, though, right? I think customer service can help me.
Damn, would've loved some lazy Sunday Wind Waker.

Yeah they usually email the codes too. Site's still acting a little wonky so I haven't received mine yet. I wouldn't worry about it too much though. Just check your email again in a little while or go ahead and email customer service if you're itching for it.
Got my Pikmin code, went back to the page to see if I had any surveys about to expire and it showed the GET ONE OF THESE GAMES FREE prompt again. Thought I would get lucky and get a second game out of it, but no go. Oh well, hahah.
Thanks for the reassuring words. Maybe my spam filter killed the mail. And I guess the customer service is swamped so they'll probably reply sometime during the week.
On the European Club Nintendo they show your code again when you log into your account.
The mails may take a while, I got mine today, two days after I downloaded the game.

Can someone help me decide please? I already have Wind Waker, Mario U and Sonic and am deciding between Wonderful 101 and Pikmin 3. I played the Wonderful 101 demo and really liked it and I also played Pikmin 1 back in the day and liked it too so it's tough to decide :/

I liked W101 more because it's more action packed and fun to play through, but it can also be more frustrating. Meanwhile Pikmin 3 is better made, and more relaxing and easy going. I recommend getting both at some point in the future, but you can't go wrong with which one you get first.
Yeah. Which is now my current problem. Saying this address cannot be validated.. Ugh All I wanted to do was get Zelda this weekend. Looks like I need to keep waiting... unreal.
