[quote name='Blade']Because not all of us buy every Nintendo game in existence, dude. It only takes 600 coins to be a Platinum member. I created an account for my girlfriend where I dumped the remaining 700 coins worth of codes we had saved up between my family and hers so we could have two Platinum rewards. Also, I have Wii Party registered too, so that's great.
@Rig - The last question on the Post Play Survey asks you to write a short review that Nintendo can publish if they choose to. I'm glad to hear that you still received the package with a little over 1/4th of the coins this guy did. It really makes me hopeful that I'll get it, too.

I've always hit platinum status myself, and the first year I (stupidly) registered games for 500 or so "extra" (over the plat status) coins. These last two years I've strictly got to my 600-ish range and stopped.
And yeah, definitely don't think I've done the short review thing.
[quote name='nbballard']I wonder if this is taking playtime into consideration at all. It could easily link the wii registered to your club account and check your activity log. If that's the case- i won't be getting one![/QUOTE]
I highly doubt it. I wouldn't have got a package that way! :lol:
My guess is it's just "high activity" users. Some sort of high threshold with Club Nintendo, maybe mixed with them just having your information in some database somewhere.
As a kid, I literally wrote Nintendo on a near weekly basis. Seriously. You have no idea how many letters I have from Nintendo reps; I loved seeing a new letter from them every week.
It got to the point where I think they started handing me off to the *same* rep every time! ("Oh, great, this kid again...") They sent me some pretty damn sweet stuff (all completely random). My favorite was some Zelda OoT art they printed out on what looked like a standard color copier. :lol: But, everyone on the team signed it. I still have that somewhere.
