    I got myself the Mario Figurine, which kind of sucks.  I would rather get some Wii points to buy more games.  My other choice was a calender, which kind of sucks considering I have calender for everything else, in addition to the one that I have on every device on the planet.  So the alternative was a figurine.   Ehh, oh wells.  Merry Christmas Bitches.

    Yeah I was not really happy with the figurine since it's so small in scale... but meh.  I had 1520 coins so I used 800 and ordered the hanafuda cards.   Gonna keep those sealed for collector's value later on.
     
    Gonna wait later on when they update their rewards to spend the rest of the coins.

    Congratulations on the platinum status, you must have had to have bought a fair few games to get it, too bad you didn't like your prize.

    Dude, you are like, soooo missing out.  If that is the case, can I have some of your codes?

    It is actually easier than you think and  cheaper than you think.
     
    Nintendo provides coins for retail games, a wii game is 50 coins while a DS game provides 30 coins.  In addition, if you do post play surveys, you get 10 coins extra.  Effectively each game is worth 60 coins.  In addition, if you register games closely after release, you get 10 coins extra.  So that is 70 coins per a Wii game while that is 50. 
     
    Another way to get coins is do post play surveys for downloaded games.  Say you have a DSi, and you download a game.  You get 10 coins for that as well.  Or virtual console games as well, which is why it is so easy.  If I bought only NES games, I would get 10 coins on a $5 purchase.

    @Godwind: Yep me to!!!  I should have gotten it last year but Nintendo decided to screw me!!!  Last year they were giving away Doc Louis's Punch-Out to Platinum Members, I found out and already having the Punch-out Wii game I wanted to beat up on Doc.  So I put in all my registration numbers and came up I think it was 50 points short (not to mention Gamecube games didn't count, pissed me off).  Few days later I got another code to put in and thought I had gotten it in time just to find out that I was a day late!!!  I was unable to get Doc Louis's Punch-Out so I emailed a complaint, later I got a call from one of the managers and explained my case and they stil reject me the freaking offer.   Hell its a digital download, you would have thought they would have made a exception just for all my effort!!!
     
    So yea they take that Platinum Members prize very serious.....  So Now I'm getting the Mario statue too, its o.k. but its no

    This stuff all seemed kind of lame until @Emilio:  posted pices of the actual figurine.  That seems worth it.

    I can't believe I've been throwing those pin# away for the past years!! Arghhh, I just got done digging through all my Wii titles and managed to find 9 cases with the pin# still inside. They should have that shit embedded into the case. I managed to get 500 coins. Too bad you can't do DS titles.

    You CAN do DS titles. First party games or published by Nintendo (Dragon Quest IX). 
    They are worth 30 coins each, while DSi/WiiWare/Virtual Console are worth 10 coins each.

    I just got Platinum today. I dug through all my old DS titles and managed to find 13 titles that still had the pin numbers in them. 
     
    @zityz: I think Sony is starting something like that with their loyalty program. I'm supposedly apart of the beta for it, but nothing has happened with it yet. I think it's more PSN oriented though.
