After more than six years of delivering fun Nintendo-themed rewards to its members, Club Nintendo is preparing to shut down. Nintendo’s loyalty-rewards program rewarded members with a variety of items, such as downloadable games, Nintendo posters or character figures in exchange for Coins that members earned by registering products or completing surveys. Club Nintendo members in the United States and Canada can earn additional Coins through the end of March, and can redeem those Coins through the end of June. Nintendo of America will be announcing a new customer loyalty program at a later date.

“We thank all Club Nintendo members for their dedication to Nintendo games and their ongoing love for our systems and characters,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “We want to make this time of transition as easy as possible for our loyal Club Nintendo members, so we are going to add dozens of new rewards and downloadable games to help members clear out their Coin balances.”
 
Hah, this coming just after I ordered a 3DS Card Case from them. Hopefully whatever they replace it with is good.
 
For some reason I was thinking that this was about Nintendo's magazine. That was Nintendo Power right?

Yeah I think Nintendo power shut down last year. Club Nintendo is pretty cool but I am glad they are gonna try something new.
 
From what the Club Nintendo FAQ page says, they will add more stuff to use your coins with sometime in February. So it may be best to hold off on spending your coins until that time.
 
I nearly forgot about this and just took a look at the rewards. They have Wonderful 101 available for only 600 coins!!!

It's hard to have a club when you have no fans. Oops I mean..... :D I didn't know about this program rewards. A shame though.

I've got 400 coins left. Lets see what trinket I can get.
 
The Club Nintendo website has been in "Maintenance" for weeks now.

Starting to get a little annoyed since I can't spend my coins.
 
Club Nintendo site is finally back up, and I ended up getting Donkey Kong Returns for the 3DS!

It cost me 600 coins and I had 620 saved up. Lucky me!

You beat me to it Aqua. I was just about to say the website has been up and working for me.
 
Any suggestions on what to get? I'm 55 points short of hitting Platinum so thinking about picking up an older game. At the same time thinking about what games to get via rewards. I want to get Wonderful 101 so for $30 or so I can get 60 points and hit my limit. Then it's finding 1300 points worth of games, more than likely all for 3DS:

Super Mario 3D Land - 600
New Super Mario Bros 2 - 600
Starfox 64 3D - 700 (lol)
