This is exactly right.

Have you made zero digital purchases since you got your Wii U though? As long as you made a Nintendo ID/etc. you should already have points for those as well. As an example I never bothered to check until a couple of days ago and had $20 worth of $5 codes ready to go. You have until March to claim any codes you earned.
i bought my wii u like 3 weeks ago and the only digital purchases i have made are link to the past and earthbound. 3d world and nintendoland came preinstalled but i have not received surveys for them and they dont show up as registered on my club nintendo account. I was going to email nintendo about it but in their faq it says preinstalled games dont qualify for surveys.

Link to the Past and Earthbound will both count for the DDP so grabbing Pikmen would put you at $5 back and about $22 shy of a 2nd DDP code.

That doesn't surprise me, I didn't even remember to look at the site or anything until a couple of days ago when everyone was talking about it in this thread. I think a lot of people missed out because the Wii U's shop was so relatively bare early on.

Is there any point to platinum if I did it all in December? I just hit 700 after doing some post game surveys but the FAQ seems to indicate that I can't get them since it isn't July or August. I want my free Earthbound

Edit: oh I guess I have to wait till July 1st to redeem the free game. This is a pretty chintzy loyalty system.

Just one more thing!
Club Nintendo status years end in June of a year, so to get platinum for 2014 you had to do it by the end of June. If you have platinum status right now it's for 2015 and you'll get your reward when the current cycle ends in June.

You missed it.

You'll get a platinum reward in the summer when they put out the next batch. It may or may not have Earthbound as an option. No reason to add more CN codes to your account unless you want to pick up a specific reward for coins, might as well save them to hit plat next year.

I think there are a bunch of people who can create trailing images. I know some who could do this as if they were just going out for a stroll.
I'm pretty sure the digital deluxe promotion is worldwide, or at the very least NA/EU/JP/Australia. Have you tried logging in?

e: Euro site is here: https://p.nintendo.net/premium/

I'm like 100 coins short of the Smash posters and I'm pretty sure they won;t last until June which is a shame since I'm already Platinum. Honestly though I wouldn't be surprised if Club Nintendo just goes completely digital rewards next year if it's even their in the sameish form at all.

The best was that they posted that article about it failing, then when it sold over a million copies in the first few days, they posted a new article with a title like, "Mario Kart 8 fastest selling Mario Kart, still doomed to fail!!!"

I've bought some stuff digitally via both 3DS and Wii U but I'm not familiar with the $5 code thing you guys are talking about. Is it related to Club Nintendo? Where can I check and see if I have codes?

Yea it's an odd choice to not have the 3DS version carry anything over to the Wii U version. I've been having 8 amiibos fight in 99 stock matches while I do homework or whatever to get the custom moves.

Wait, if I make Amiibos fight themselves it can still unlock stuff for me? If so I am going to go do this. Just go into "Smash" and make them fight right? I figured that wouldn't work.
