I'll make it a little less long, 'cause I've been a Club Nintendo member since like the beginning. Back then, you'd get 5 Stars (the European currency instead of Coins) for every day you'd log on to the site, so that was convenient. At one point they dumped that together late 2007. Also, it's a lot less conveniently displayed on our EU site apparently, so I won't bore myself with copying every entry seperately, just a couple important ones like the first and last overall and the first and last of a system, hardware, rewards and other events plus the overall stats .

So I agree this is interesting .
Couple things I noticed:
- Most game I get at a system's launch are Mario games
- Sometimes I forget to register my system until after a couple months
- The GameCube burned me so hard that I didn't even care to register games for a couple years
- I was sloppy in registering my GameBoy Advance and it's games
- The only free spontaneous gift I got were two Christmas PC desktop images back in 2004
- Download codes aren't mentioned anywhere
- While I got Sonic Lost World with Mario Kart 8 (was curious about the Zelda DLC), I still got Stars for it
- I got 3 real expensive gifts from Club Nintendo, but wasted 4000 points on stupid Wii points for no good reason
- There's a whopping 8 (!) years between my 1st and 2nd gift
- I got my eye a 4th expensive gift already, let's hope it doesn't go away
- I only once ever got a couple Stars for my birthday
- 22,295 sounds like a lot!
