How do you get points on Club Nintendo?

By buying games.

It's not free at all. 

Of course it's free. You don't pay to get Club Nintendo. You're rewarded for buying games, and giving feed back. You don't by games because you want Club Nintendo points. You buy a game and think "gee, now I can redeem some club Nintendo points." With PS Plus, you're deliberately and intentionally subcribing to a service with money. You pay for PS Plus every year because you want online and discounted games and such.

With Club Nintendo, you do no such thing. You create a free Club Nintendo account with expectation that you will get more milage from the purchase you already made. It absolutely is free.

Thank you, that's why Club Nintendo sucks! 

Personally, I'd rather pay 50 bucks then fill in 50 boring enquetes. My time is worth more then such a measly amount of money. And those enquetes are incredibly boring and obnoxious. 

Club Nintendo in Europe is not even worth wasting your time on considering you get nothing. I seriously can't buy a single thing on it because the point system is ridiculously high! I can't get a product that's worth €5 after spending over €1000! That's sad! 

Sony gave over $1000 of "free" stuff on PS Plus this year.
