US/CAN Club Nintendo Thread: New and improved. Read the OP.

So I'm doing an update and I need to verify a few things...
1) Slitherlink -- it's still listed as only 10 coin (post play) on the CN site. Has -anyone- gotten a 5 coin registration survey for this?
2) Order Up -- has anyone purchased this AFTER July 1st? If so, was it a 5 or 10 coin registration survey? The CN site has it listed as being 20 coins total (10 reg, 10 post play), so it COULD be that 3DS software is 5 coins if less than $10, 10 coins for $10, etc.., but I needed to verify that first.
It does look as though all 3DS downloads (non-VC) released over the past few weeks do have Registration Surveys. If you didn't get one the week before the 1st, they popped up sometime this past week...

Why did Super Mario Galaxy (non Nintendo Selects) give me only 20 coins? I saved the code since it said it wouldn't drop from 50, but it did anyway. Nintendo stole me 30 coins.
Someone else reported that the CN site changed it listed value from 50 to 20 on the 1st. My assumption, at this point, is that an NOA employee made a mistake and neglected to list it as dropping in value, even though it did.

This is what I'm seeing. Just to show you guys.
I got this shit too
. Le fawqEdit: Used Chrome and saw the correct page. Was on Firefox before. Strange..
Wonder if I'd get the pins still . Doubt it ;__;
. Doubt it ;__;I would totally e-mail them about it, because they should really credit you with the coins when they specifically told us it would be worth 50. I know there is an article on NintendoLife complete with screenshots of what Club Nintendo had posted if you want to show them proof of what they had actually told everyone.

Man, I don't wanna sound ungrateful here since it's totally a free gift, but this year's Platinum gift choices feel pretty underwhelming compared to previous years' or to some of the stuff on Japanese Club Nintendo.
I almost wish I could roll-over my Platinum status and claim two of next year's gifts when it's revealed.

That would be an interesting concept. Instead of having "platinum status," you're given a "platinum token" or something of the like, and it expires in two years. So, you can choose to spend it on a prize now, or save it for the next two sets of prizes.
Basically, it would treat Elite prizes like regular rewards, the difference being that you unlock a special token for said prizes when you reach Elite status.
Of course, this might just over-complicate things.

Will this year's lackluster gift change anyone's opinons of the program or will you not be striving for platinum in the coming year(s)?

For the most part, Platinum has come naturally anyway. Yeah, sometimes I'll boost myself up with games that I wouldn't normally buy (because they're wicked cheap, e.g. S&P2 for 5 bucks), but otherwise I just get there even with selective purchasing.
If my brother didn't buy a 3DS this year, I probably wouldn't have made Platinum. That was the real kicker. Seeing as we're both behind getting a WiiU, the 2013 Club Nintendo year probably won't involve "striving" for Platinum; it'll be a repeat of 2012.

So is anyone else getting the issue where it claims that your Elite status prize has already been redeemed?

Same here. For the most part, I haven't had to go out of my way to try and get extra coins. Although it probably helps that I do tend to ration my registrations and hang on to as many as possible for the next CN year once I've reached platinum. Case and point, I'm only 210 coins away from platinum for 2013 right now thanks to the slew of surveys I completed after July 1st.

Don't believe any games I've bought have been for the CN coins. Therefore all it takes to get to Platinum is just the managed entry of previously purchased games, anyways. As the regular CN coin rewards usually have stuff that'd be "neat" to have, in any case, Platinum just sort of falls out of that. Still make sure that Platinum is reached each year with already available codes, but don't go out of the way (i.e. "strive") to get it.
No change, then. *shrugs*

I looked up images of those shirts. Such swag.
I AM ETERNALLY JEALOUS! Nintendo, why didn't you make that available in other regions!

It's always been this way, though the actual fulfillment period varies. Two years ago they were sent in early-mid November. Last year it was early December.
Don't expect the reward before October, regardless.

Thanks that did the trick.
Usually I'm a "games or nothing kinda guy" but neither of the 3DS games really looked like what I wanted, so calender it is.

Anyone from Chicago going to July 21st Wii U event?
I just got invited by a friend.
edit ... and just got invited myself lol
If I don't use my invitation, I just might give it away to someone.

That's sad. The pin set was easily a more impressive package than first appeared. You may not have loved it, but chances are you'd have liked it enough to at least get for free.
Presentation counts for a lot.
I only need 260 more coins for 2013's platinum, and the post-plays for my July 1st registrations just popped up so some of that's already covered. 90% of the games I play are Nintendo games and most of those are on 3DS.
I use the surveys to give feedback and constructive criticism about Nintendo's services, and in exchange I can get free swag. When the year-end gift is underwhelming (like the pin set) I just shrug it off, because the only way I "paid" for it was with very small amounts of my time.
TLDR; I don't have to "strive" for platinum, I'm just getting free stuff for buying stuff I would've bought anyway. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
I think I was the only person to buy this one, lol.
I never got a registration survey for it. The only survey that I did get was a 10 coin post play. The post play survey was in the style of a Virtual Console survey, so questions on whether I played Slitherlink on the original system, how the VC service could be improved, etc.
So, it seems that Slitherlink was incorrectly classified as a Virtual Console game.

Yup, I'll be there. I didn't get an invite, but one of my friends did.

I consider the platinum gift as a bonus so I'm not complaining. The Mario cards are at least of some use to me. I still have my pins in the plastic wrapping. This is my 4th platinum and I'm only 180 coins short of my 5th platinum.
Just went with the cards, because I already got the Skyward Sword posters from last year. I was really hoping for the Mario Pillow, that would have been amazing. Last year they decided to copy Japan's reward, but this year they didn't for some reason. I hope they make it a reward, so you can still get it and also make those awesome polos from Japan a reward as well.

30% Failure Rate
As a whole I'm pretty satisfied with CN as a bonus rewards program. Here's my haul for the 2011-2012 Club Nintendo year:
3D Classics: Xevious ($6)
Art Style: CUBELLO ($6)
3D Classics: Urban Champion ($5)
Donkey Kong ($4)
Nintendo 3DS Card Case 18 (~$25)
Mario Playing Card Set ($??)
All the games plus the 3DS card case add up to cost exactly 600 coins. The actual real-world value of it all is $46 plus whatever the playing cards end up being worth ($10-$15 maybe). Easily over $50 worth of stuff for filling out a few short surveys every other month.
No complaints from me.
Truthfully if I'd been even a bit interested in pins I would have claimed them for the collection aspect. But I was so disappointed I completely forgot about it until after the deadline and then it was too late.
I have heard the presentation was quite good though.
I got invited and am planning on going. It allowed me to invite three friends, but when I forwarded the invites out to them, it apparently signed them up for the Washington D.C. event rather than the Chicago event... I am currently sending e-mails back and forth with Nintendo to figure this out.

still deciding between the cards and the posters...prolly cards cause i can't see putting any of those posters up, i mean they're quality and those games are cool but i've already got 2 SS posters somewhere and all. tempted to go with MM but a) i should really get stuff that's not available otherwise and b) when they remake it for 3DS im gonna feel silly.
damn these $65 mario pillows.

UM... wtf? Can somebody please tell me what happened?
I just logged in to choose the platinum gift as two months ago I finally reached platinum status for 2012. It had that silver P up in the corner and everything. So I click into the Mario cards to order them and it suddenly says "Sorry! This is only available to platinum elite status members" and the icon in the upper right now has a gold "G 2013"... what is going on here? What the hell happened to my platinum status?

The status bar is showing your status towards this year, which is probably 0 coins along the way to Gold. As for your status of 2012, could you check what your Coins & Status tab of your Account & Coins page says for the 2012 year?
It's possible you were confusing the on the way to platinum bar as actually being platinum...

Weird, inside that tab it says I only got gold this year. I'm 100% positive I had the silver P though. If I didn't have it I would have kept adding new codes...
I almost made your mistake (thinking I had more coins than I actually did, by relying on the P indicator) but I realized my mistake a few days before July 1st and hurried to earn enough points just in time.

I made the same mistake as well, saving some codes for the 2013 year. I'm glad I did, considering there was nothing that stood out for me in terms of platinum rewards.

I chose the posters, mainly for the Zelda one. At least i can hang my posters in a frame, the cards would be just kept untouched like a relic.
Now I want some old Nintendo relic cards.
