Oh, well that makes things even more confusing. xD

Club Nintendo's way of dates is odd.

Thanks for this thread! I needed 80 more for Platinum, and as luck would have it I had an unregistered Xenoblade and Tetris Axis lying around.

50 points for Xenoblade, and 30 for Tetris Axis, and I'm now looking at a pretty Platinum status again this year. ^_^

Next year won't be a problem. 3DS XL and WiiU will practically make the 600 points for me already.

I am platinum but what is this elite you speak of?

They are the same thing.  There are two levels of Elite Status: Gold and Platinum.

Okay. I forgot. I was at work when you made this thread. When I got home, I watched porn.

I just remembered this thread when somebody mentioned Club Nintendo in some other thread. I have a megaton of registration cards but it takes forever to register them. I also have a lot of stuff in my "To do list" that will earn me more coins. Anyway, what would I have gotten with "Elite Status"? I'm sure I've spent more than 1000 coins in the last year because I got a ton of free stuff from Club Nintendo. I also have about 450 coins ready to be spent right now, even before I register my other stuff.

Also, how would I know if I am elite or not?

Nevermind. I figured it out. I'm platinume elite and I've been one for a long time. I don't know what the difference is, though. I don't feel special.

Being on the European Club Nintendo makes me feel so extremely wealthy compared to the Americans. It's fake wealth of course, but I have 4200 stars (yes, power stars not coins)!

For comparison though, it's not that many, the Kid Icarus AR cards pack is 250 stars, the Hanafuda playing card deck is 2500, a Mario diorama statue 7000, and the gold Twilight Princess Link/Epona statue was 15000 stars.
Soon, I will have the 7000 stars for the Mario statue. It's pretty nice, and it will be the first thing I'll 'buy' since the Zelda Collector's Edition Gamecube disc back in 2004. I think with us here, it's three years of not using the points before they expire, I lost about 2000 between '04 and now, but I think the timer resets if something is registered. I'm not sure.

I just realized I'm just ranting offtopic...
Blablablabla...

have the rewards been announced yet?

No, not yet.

Here in Italy they have canceled the forum, the rewards system and the different levels of status since 2006. Only a club nintendo star based system to get stuff remains.

Sigh...
