Haha same. Just came to post this.

its just dumb, one year for a continent and two for another makes no senseNo, I'm in the US. And holy shit that is stupid given how evergreen Nintendo titles are. Imagine buying a Switch next year, buying Mario/Zelda/MK8/Splatoon but not actually able to get the already fucking meager rewards points for them.
I doubt anyone really cares outside of era.Seems clear that there wouldn't be nearly this amount of blowback if past digital purchases were awarded the 5% in coin value credit that future digital purchases will accumulate.
So you only have like 2 physical games and that's it on switch?i have a wopping 24 gold coins, lol
they are trying to make people buy digital so you cant trade them in to say gamestop...
i mean, i beat a game like mario, im trading it in for $40, sorry nintendo
gamers club - new games for $47, or nintendo digital, new games after you get your $3.00 in gold coins = $56 with no chance of trading it in.
ill stick to gamers club
How is it so far? I was eyeing this earlier cuz I couldn't make up my mind to buy another "bigger" gamePicked up Subsurface Circular for free essentially. That's pretty cool.
If I am understanding this right, that's 60 cents for a retail game that is $60 on the eShop. That is some real bull.
Another insulting tactic of Nintendo's, like many Wii U 1st party games still being full price.

So if I register one of my games and lend it over to another friend or sell it can those people register it to their accounts?
Yes, it'll use what coins you have and you pay the rest with regular cash.I'd be completely fine with 5% if the expiration was three years or something.
EDIT: Wait, this can be done like your Steam wallet, paying both with coins and regular currency right? You don't have to buy the whole game with the coins (otherwise it's ridiculous).
So you get 1/5 off whatever indie game you want and nothing was required of you. Truly, Nintendo are the devil.Cheap, disgusting, greedy bullshit tactic by Nintendo. I have 400 gold coins and I've bought the folllwing games digitally since the Switch launched — Zelda, Mario Kart 8, Splatoon 2, Mario & Rabbids, Super Mario Odyssey.
So yeah. $4 off a fucking digital game. Yay.
Fuck.
That.
Noise.
I think that you should protest by not using that $4, let it expire.Cheap, disgusting, greedy bullshit tactic by Nintendo. I have 400 gold coins and I've bought the folllwing games digitally since the Switch launched — Zelda, Mario Kart 8, Splatoon 2, Mario & Rabbids, Super Mario Odyssey.

Yes, this is the main problem I have with this program. Just update our gold coins to the new exchange rate, Nintendo. What a loyalty program! :PThe reduced rate for eShop titles bought before the program starts is kinda shitty. I got a lot of stuff rapid fire when I first got my Switch, all on the eShop. It's a digital purchase, why is it subject to a reduced rate? Not like it's hard to track the exact second I spent money on it.
No, it's 60 coins for a $60 game purchased at retail at a rate of 1%. It's 300 coins for buying a $60 game directly on the eShop.
You can use "Sony Rewards" which, when you link to your PlayStation account, earns you points when you purchase digital games (as well as other Sony products, obviously). I've earned a $10 certificate a few times. Nothing mind blowing, but it's there ;)I have 1146 Gold Points. I can either use that to get Celeste for $11.46 cheaper or save way, way more money by going for the discounts.
For example:
Don't get me wrong, while I'd appreciate more stuff like the custom cover 3DS game cases that I got through Club Nintendo, this is still pretty good and a sight better than the big, fat nothing that my PS4 purchases get me.
- I spent 40 of those points to get the "just for you" 50% of discount on Earthbound for the 3DS.
- With that discount, Earthbound cost me only $5.49 (including taxes)
- That means, I spent 40 Gold Points (a nominal 40 cent value) to save $5.49
- That took me down to 1106 Gold Points but...
- ...I also got 25 more for purchasing Earthbound just now, putting me back up to 1131 Gold Points

they needed this to be generous enough to really push customers to buy digitally. BUT! they can't have the average switch customer getting $40 in eshop credit for past purchases. that would be way too generous ..
solution? drop the value of the coins and just start giving out more of them
i ended up with $12, not bad i guess. especially combined with the ebay deal (which is live right now by the way)
Your MyNintendo account changes along with your Nintendo Account.Can anyone who changes regions regularly for game purchases confirm that coins are "locked" to that regions store? Or do all coins still go to the same pot?
Seemingly still up. Makes everything 20% off so it's a really good idea to stack up.Heads up: e shop cards are 15% off at eBay right now:

5% is pretty good all things considered. I think that's as high as most rewards systems go.Seems way too little, seems like you were better off going for the various club prizes with your coins, oh well.
I just bought Mutant Mudds on Switch while it was on sale and I only got 8 coins despite it saying I'd get 38. Wtf.
It's $7.50 btw.
Seriously I love this system but don't steal coins from me! :/
