You also get coins for registering games and doing surveys, and those net you free swag throughout the year as well. |
Nintendo's fiscal year, like that of many Japanese companies, starts on April 1st. But Club Nintendo's annual cycle starts 3 months later on July 1st. I'm not sure why people often call this a "fiscal" year, unless they're imagining a Nintendo coin-based economy.
Also, although you choose your gift in July it tends not to arrive until much later into the (calendar) year.
