Got one of each. You achieve Elite status when you register enough games, which qualifies you for a free gift depending on your level. There are two levels of Elite status: Gold and Platinum. You reach Gold at 300 coins, Platinum at 600 coins. You can read the OP to see what prizes each level qualified for in previous years.

Oh, ok I reached platinum. I thought Elite was a third type of status. Thanks

Thanks for the response. I even contacted Customer Service about it, but there were, as I assumed, less than helpful.

I was really looking at it because it seemed to be able to hold 3DS games as well, which is what I need. All of the DS cases I have are very form-fitting, so the extra tab on the 3DS games makes them a total no-go.

That Penguin case is quite nice... would that be okay for 3DS games? If I could get something that holds that many games and accomodates both DS and 3DS ones at the same time, it'd be ideal.

I can confirm that the Penguin Pouch holds 3DS games as well.

Phew... just finished 5 post play surveys to get me to platinum status. I have 14 post play surveys to do, so I'll be at 140 points not counting the couple of games I still have to register. Hopefully, I can make it to platinum next year too without having to buy too much.

I finished 5 of them last night and got platinum myself. I hope this years prize doesn't suck...

Awesome, thanks! Looks like I know what case I'll be picking up, then.

Much appreciated.

I managed to reach Gold status, and I don't think I'll be able to reach Platinum this year. I hope Nintendo decides to give out something decent and NOT another cheap calendar.

I am going to hit 600 coins soon for platinum status, thanks to a very generous person on another message board who was giving out Club Nintendo codes for Wii games. This will be my first time hitting Platinum, so I hope the reward is good.

The calender's weren't bad, I was always able to sell them for at least $20 on ebay after I got it, which is why they weren't bad.

Finally got a blue pouch for my 3DS!

Thanks for the heads up!

Few more details. Pouches are still listed OOS, but they are taking orders and shipping 6/14.

I sold the statue last year for $50 on ebay

Yet they shipped out my red reversible pouch today!
Hopefully the email for the blue one comes today as well.

I got the shipping confirmation for my red pouch as well, it looks like they arrived sooner than expected. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the blue ones will ship soon also.

700 points...nothing good to buy :(

I agree sadly. I would have jumped on the G&W remake (not the DS ones) if it were cheaper, but I settled on playing cards and folders. If Nintendo would have let me,, I really would have saved up all of my points forever until they make the Super Nintendo Classic Controller.

Yeah, I'm holiding out for some better rewards.

I am just 60 short of hitting 600. Anyone have any suggestions on how to hit that magic number? I already bothered friends and family. I am looking for the cheapest way to hit it because I just want a cool prize this year

Edit:
And unexpectedly a buddy emailed me a couple codes. Awesome. Any suggestions on what to buy? I can afford both totes and was thinking of getting those of both the Mario and Zelda poster sets.

Need to cash out some points by June 30th as they are expiring. 120 points are expiring and I only have a total of 310. I was thinking about getting the reversible pouch- I could probably use it to store some of my camera stuff or other random things while traveling. Anyone have one that could give some impressions?

Ruahrc

The pouch is great. Worth buying IMO.

Yay, got platinum for the year. Had to get 3 wii codes from my sister. I was stuck at 460 with no plans to buy any more wii/ds games in the near future.

+1 for the pouch. When I get enough points I'm going to get one for my sister/brother-in-law, already have the red one myself.
