I say this when I went to log in, I'm shown no coins and 300 coins to gold. This makes no sense, I should have to June 30th before it resets I was going to get Mario Kart 8 and get platinum. Is this a site issue? Hate to lose out for the year.

The site is messed up, you probably aren't "really" signed in. It keeps happening to me too, been trying to get Pikmin 3 since Friday.

I lost 30 coins because I could not complete 3 surveys because it would not let me log in. Then Nintendo took it down for maintenance.

Got the same problem. Logging out, then back in worked for me.

In fact, I had to keep logging in to register games today. I was behind on my codes (still am), so I wanted to catch up. I was having the same problems. Got cut of mid-survey more than a few times and had to re-log in. I got everything eventually though.

MORE LIKE HEATHCARE.GOV AMIRITE?!!

Boom-tish!

I also got a weird error that said my password was incorrect (kept saying that Friday and Saturday too even though it was not incorrect), but the error says something like "if ur sure that it's right just try again kthx lol bai."

Apparently, there's been a lot of traffic on the site. Probably because of the MK8 promotion.

Does anyone know the amount of coins earned with the free game for mario Kart 8? I'm going to be 20 coins shy of platinum. Also does upgrading Zelda ALTTP give any coins?

Shaymin · « **Reply #9 on:** June 10, 2014, 08:49:34 AM »

Upgrading Link to the Past gives you 10 (after a week). The least a free game gives you is (40 + 10 - Wii Party U). I'd say see if there's another game you can upgrade, or maybe pick up a couple of inexpensive eShop titles or another VC title.

You can check the coins and such on this spreadsheet:

so the free game gives 40 coins? that would be great.

pokepal148 · « **Reply #11 on:** June 10, 2014, 03:28:45 PM »

At the very least the wii u has a large enough userbase to bring down club Nintendo.

Man , I just registered my MK8 and now I'm 300 coins from Platinum....

first year since ClubN started that I won't make it to Platinum status... and they will likely offer something awesome this year just rub the salt in the wound.

50 w/the post play, but that's just for Wii Party U. Zelda would be 60 and New Super Mario/Pikmin 3 are 70.

MysticGohan · « **Reply #14 on:** June 23, 2014, 06:04:16 PM »

Guys, I need help! I got Mario Kart 8 today, I registered it, I chose Pikmin 3 as my free game. I didn't see the added coins, i'm 40 shy of platinum. When I go to earn coins, the window pops up asking me to chose a free game. I already have pikmin downloading. so what do I do? I really need the coins from the free game before the 30th xD. Help!!!!

Phil · « **Reply #15 on:** June 23, 2014, 06:31:14 PM »

Hi Gohan. How long has it been since you chose Pikmin 3 as your free game?

MysticGohan · « **Reply #16 on:** June 23, 2014, 07:09:57 PM »

an hr or so

Club Nintendo doesn't seem to be very good at handling high traffic, hiccups like these happen occasionally. Typically, they get corrected on their own in a day or two, so check back later and see if the coins got added. If they still have not after two days, email Nintendo.

Will do, thanx guys, will be the first year I get platinum, it would be nice, hopefully something good this year,

MysticGohan · « **Reply #19 on:** June 24, 2014, 07:25:03 AM »

This is my first year as well but I'm not getting my hopes up

Phil · « **Reply #21 on:** June 24, 2014, 06:36:54 PM »

The first two years were so awesome. I got a Mario hat and a figurine of Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, Bowser, and Toad. Then it got "meh, not worth the effort" with the holofoil-like playing cards and the Majora's Mask soundtrack. Sure, it was complete unlike the one I got from Nintendo Power a decade plus ago, but still...

Khushrenada · « **Reply #22 on:** June 24, 2014, 06:55:03 PM »

I've never bothered with Club Nintendo even though I probably have over 200 games I could register with codes to do so. I think there were codes in the Gamecube games and onwards. I don't know why exactly. It seemed like a great thing when it was first announced. I guess I just never cared much for a lot of the rewards offered and I don't really feel like answering a bunch of surveys for them so I've just never bothered with the whole thing.

Interesting. Do you have any interest in sharing your codes? I could use a few for games that I bought used and they didn't have a code.

There are some GameCube and GBA games with codes, but none of them are worth any coins. They were used with MyNintendo, which is what Club Nintendo was before Club Nintendo. Some early Wii and DS games are also not worth any coins either.

rlse9 · « **Reply #24 on:** June 24, 2014, 10:44:07 PM »

I can't imagine why you wouldn't take the time to register your games. It takes very little time, the survey is short and while most of the rewards haven't been that great, some have been cool (I like the shirt) and if you don't want physical stuff, they've offered some good virtual console games as rewards.

I made platinum this year for the first time in a couple years, hopefully the platinum rewards this year will be more interesting than the past couple years.
