How long does it take for the Wii U survey to pop up after you register it on the eshop?
For me, it didn't show up when I simply linked my Club N account, but after registering my serial number and THEN re-linking the Club N account, it was there immediately.

How do you register the serial number? Just type in the number on the Wii U itself?

The Wii U one lasts 7 days.

The games last a month, with post plays lasting 120 days, so you can't store those yet either. Also, all the questions you just asked were already answered in the OP.

I can't believe it.
I am lacking 20 coins for the gold nunchuck. Twenty. TWENTY.
Fuck.
I thought people said that you could get coins for the WiiU video apps but thats wrong apparantly. I even deleted and redownloaded them and no coins.
I guess thats that. I don't even have enough money to get another $20 eShop card.
Damn. I'm speechless. It'll probably only be on sale for like ten minutes too...Just make it till Wednesday please Nintendo! :/

Maybe the surveys just didn't show up right away, because I know they said there were coins for those apps.

I didn't get coins for any of the video apps either. And when is the gold nunchuk supposed to go up again?

1) The CN site says they are worth coins.
2) I'm assuming they'll get post play surveys 10 days after you download/start them.
NintendoLand's post play survey just appeared on my to-do list (I had registered my Wii U Deluxe Set on Nov. 18).
Yeah, I had to register my Wii U Deluxe today because of the deadline, despite my Wii U breaking on the 19th and currently on its way back from being "repaired". Nintendo Land survey popped up after.
Wait, what? what deadline?
I redeemed my posters a LONG time ago (July 7th) and I still don't have them. On CN it says "Preparing Order".
Same here. I was short 70 coins, but this is maybe my last, best chance to get one, so I went on eBay and grabbed 100 coins on the cheap. I'll be refreshing all day.
The survey for your WiiU expires a week after you buy it.

Last time I had connived a scheme to "waste" as few codes as possible to get myself up to 900. The catch was I had to wait a week till my post play surveys appeared.
...just my luck, they ran out of nunchuks in exactly one week, and I was late by mere hours.
my days of code scrooging are over
Buy it? Not register/connect it?
WTF why would they do that?
Register*
It automatically registers when you sync your CN account to it when you boot the eShop.
After you link the eShop to your Club Nintendo account.

Whoo, some post play surveys went up (Mario U and Nintendo Land) and I now have 710 coins! So help me god if that gold nunchuk goes up and then back down before I can get 90 more coins.

Dumb question but it won't let me do the survey. It asks for a Club Nintendo code and the game itself didn't have one. I did have a Club Nintendo insert with my U packaging but there was no code on that. I've tried typing in my U serial and it just mocks me, telling me to link my U to my Club Nintendo account. Which I did.
tldr: am I missing a Club Nintendo code in my U packaging somewhere?
EDIT: NEVERMIND IT'S WORKING ON ITS OWN NOW.
EDIT 2: NEVERMIND IT'S NOT. IT SEEMS TO WANT ME TO REGISTER NINTENDO LAND DESPITE NOT HAVING A CLUB NINTENDO CODE.

You'll need 190 coins if you only have 710... The gold nunchuk is 900. So, I wish you good luck!

Oh I thought it was 800. Still, pretty close.

Oh crap, it will go up tomorrow? Yeah, nevermind, won't have those coins before then.

I'll be ready and waiting for the nunchuk this time. I had the coins last time, but was too slow in hearing about it being available. Not a chance of that happening this time!

So it's more advantageous to do existing Post Plays rather than registering new stuff, right?
