    For us US users, we can pile in any unused codes up till March the 31st, and coins need to be used by June 30. Nintendo will add more physical rewards in February, you can snap up some 3DS card cases right now. The 2015 Elite gifts haven't been decided yet, but they've already stated that it's just going to be digital game downloads, again

    Cannot express how much I wish the European site offered digital games. I’ve just registered 5500 points worth of stuff but the catalogue is a wasteland of junk. Wrapping paper, golf balls and points cards you can’t even use on current consoles. Amazing.

    Wouldnt I love to have games that I didnt register already, I could snag Kid Icarus Uprising!

    But noooo we can't have nice things! And just saying the coins don't match retail value.

    Example: Uprising is 700 coins. How many games you need to register? More than 10.

    How much ya paying? Up to 100 at minimum.

    How much is Uprising? Average $25-$30.

    The math shows that Nintendo f$#%'s us and don't care, they want money. We'll TPB says Hi.

    The items you get in return for your coins are free. The coins have no value. I wish other companies had had their own Club to get free stuff.

    Indeed you need them.

    The coins are obtained from buying games which you need money for therefore not free.

    Unless your blessed by the Coin Fairy from Mario X Zelda Crossover.

    Coins that they don't even have to include in their games to start with. No other company has been doing it. Are they forcing you to cash them? Perhaps you wanted them to include nothing but the game in the box so you don't have to go out of your way to spend the coins to get the items offered in the Club. Yeah, blame them for giving you the chance to get something for free. Ridiculous and ungrateful. Not sure if you are being serious..

    I used my last 150 Coins to pick up Mario Picross, love those silly picture puzzles. I wonder what games are going to be available for the gold reward that I got~

    It is free unless you pay more than you should on a item like in my Uprising example.

    My arguement refers just to the game downloads.

    Any other merchandise and extras for being Gold and Plat are free for being a loyal consumer like you say.

    I dunno if my game example would apply to the Ball G&W they had awhile back ago.

    Uhh, the internet figured out how to get free coins though. There's a fair chance you'll get banned and Nintendo can yank digital rewards back away from us, but if you really don't have any coins there's nothing stopping your from abusing the system.

    I may have signed up an extra account and picked up 800 free coins myself Come on Animal Crossing cards~ I'm not going for any more free coins cause I'd need more real mailing addresses But if you want digital rewards, you can make up addresses.
