Topic: Bad new for those of you who make multiple Club Nintendo accounts...

Posts 1 to 20 of 28

Each person in my family has one club nintendo account. We did not know about the famliy account thing until now. For those of you who are wondering, no, nintendo can not merge your unlinked accounts together for some unknown reason. I tried calling them TWICE. I got the same reply. They are unable to reactivate due to me "violating the terms of use". They did not notify me about our account deactivation either, So no platinum rewards for our household. Ever. Because I can't make anymore accounts. Unbelievable.

They will find out.

They also remotely deleted my games that I got from Club Nintendo. What is this BS?

Yep, that's a thing now. They can do that because you tied your Club Nintendo account with your NNID.

I haven't touched my 3DS for a while for that very reason. Nintendo can be so cruel sometimes... I swear.

Let this serve as a warning for everyone else. Do not create multiple accounts. Do not create an account using an address that another account uses. If you have multiple accounts, close them immediately, and if you'd like, create a family account using an existing account. Nintendo can and will delete your games earned through Club Nintendo (this includes your free Wii U game from the Mario Kart 8 promo!). Read through the terms to be certain you are not breaking any rules.

Didn't you post a similar thread where you confessed you made the accounts for yourself?

Well yes but I made them for my parents and brother. Not just for my own use.

It helps to read the terms and conditions. There really is no excuse to avoid those...

Fun fact: if you violate terms and conditions of anything, you will suffer punishment. There's a reason they have rules in the first place.

I do feel bad for OP though, we all make some mistakes and he did at least mean well.

Are we going to go back to the argument that people aren't at fault for not reading the terms and conditions.

That was fun.

In your old thread from six weeks ago, you seemed to indicate that you had made four accounts and that all of them were Platinum because friends were giving you CN codes. So were the four accounts for your own use or were they not? There's nothing at all stopping you from either ordering rewards for others in your household, nor from giving them download codes for CN games.

It sounds a lot more like you intentionally made the extra accounts for the sole purpose of reaping multiple Platinum rewards.

This is certainly sounding like a repeat thread as others pointed out, and I find the purpose of this thread to be lacking, only serving to vent frustration which can done in other threads that have already been created.

I believe this warrants locking.

OMG, I HAVE TWO ACCOUNTS. ONE FOR, ONE I JOINTLY SHARE. My house has two differents addresses though, it cand either be highway or street, so should i be worried?
Edit: Just checked both, they are fine and i had surveys to complete. Both are platinum, should i wait after rewards and after i spend the rest of the coins before deactiviting one?

As long as it's not indicated to Nintendo you have two accounts, you should be fine. I recommend using only one account, and your joint account should be used only by whoever else holds the account as well.

So I should chane settings? I'm glad when i made the second account(the joint one) I have like three nicknames, so i used that, my account login names are based off my book characters, and i actively check both for surveys. Not suspicious at all, hehehe... But whenever i download a wiiu game, i switch back and forth between acounts. Not suspicious at all right? RIGHT?!

If that's the case, then I recommend closing one of your accounts and turning the other account into a family account. You may lose out on a few things, but is it really worth Nintendo closing down all of your accounts and remotely deleting your free games that you got from Club Nintendo?
