Topic: My Nintendo Discussion!

I guess May 1st is when more rewards come out. I expect new Miitomo costumes and new 3DS themes. Not much else though I bet. I almost have enough for WarioWare and hope to get it by the end of the of this week XP

Two weeks left until I'll be able to get the Zelda Picross. Still waiting for Miitomo release in my country.

@Late: Same here. I get really jealous of all the people who say they have collected another 1000 platinum coins when I can get only 120 pcoins in a week.

So far I got a lil over 2400 coins, got Warioware, Picross, and the Mario suit, dunno what to get next.

@Waluigi @TingLz @Meowpheel I'd like to request that this topic be stickied! The old Club Nintendo topic was when it was relevant so I think it might be a good idea for this to be as well.

On-Topic: North America doesn't have access to the secret missions, however I know that you can earn 120 Platinum Coins from the non-Miitomo stuff each week, but I've only found 90 Platinum Coins worth...I know you earn 30 coins each from signing into the eShop and Miiverse and another 30 bonus coins when you click on the coin laying under your coin boxes near your Mii. What's the fourth weekly mission?!

@Neko_Ichigofan I covered it in stickyness

@Waluigi: Thanks alot!

@Neko_Ichigofan: @DarthNocturnal: Also note that you won't get any special message about getting the platinum coins from visiting Nintendo's official website while logging in. But you will know that you got it by looking at your points history on the My Nintendo site.

@Undead_terror: How'd you get so many points ._. I just got WarioWare TODAY

@gardevoir7: If you do the weekly point collections, and have been since the start, got all the account linking bonuses, got the pre-sign up bonus and do Miitomo often enough, it's easy to get 1000. Especially because both Platinum & Miitomo coins count for for the total.

@gardevoir7: Do all the daily missions everyday, and check miiverse/eshop/my nintendo/nintendo.com and do the weekly question, doing this all a week should give ya 395 coins.

@Undead_terror: My friends on Miitomo aren't active enough to get me the 5 hears and comments stuff. :c

I've only been doing the weekly things and account linkings. I stopped using Miitomo.
Of course I've not bought anything except the DK theme. I have/don't want everything else.

Yeah, I do all the weekly stuff, then the daily Change Clothes, 3 Answers, 10 Listens on Miitomo (once or twice a week I'll get the 5 Hearts thing, but that's about it in terms of points dependent on your friends' interactions with your posts).

@DarthNocturnal: You're right!
I'm willing to bet that the code redemption thing is indeed a system for redeeming coins for physical games. Or maybe it's just another way of getting digital rewards...

@Undead_terror: What weekly question?! Gosh darn it Nintendo needs to let people know how to use all of the site's features...

The May update for Europe is absolutely pathetic.

I have got the Zelda Picross game as well as the two 3DS themes (which are rather ho-hum), and now my current coinage is kind of building up towards nothing, especially after the May update, if you can even call it an 'update'.

At this moment in time, I say that Club Nintendo is much better than the damp squib that is My Nintendo.

@DarthNocturnal: At least the US got 10 discounts, Europe only got 4, sort of. It's Club Nintendo all over again, arguing back and forth about who gets the worse deals!

But yes, it's pretty bad. I know that I shouldn't complain about free stuff, but I prefer Club Nintendo over this. I don't own a 3DS and the only new discount is for Captain Toad, which I got day one two years ago. My points will probably expire by the time something interesting comes along.

Are you sure it was a hitch? The points accumulate. This means you can extend the expiry dates up to 8 months if you time it right.

@DarthNocturnal: Sorry, I should elaborate... Yes, the missions are once a week but you don't have to collect them straightaway as they accumulate.

For example, you get 30 coins for visiting the eShop. In My Nintendo's Mission screen it states you have 30 days to collect them (add them to your account). Don't; leave them where they are.

Here, I have 30 coins to collect (from visiting eShop) and my total is 440:

Visit the eShop again the following week. It won't register in your My Nintendo account (it will still display the original 30 coins, as above); however when you click on "Collect Points", it states how many times eShop was visited (in this case, twice) and all the associated coins (60) are added to your account:

Given the 30 day expiry limit, it's possible to collect 5 weeks' worth of points at a time, giving yourself an extra month, 3 weeks, 2 weeks, week etc on the accumulated coins.

The six month expiry time includes the whole month, not the date they were redeemed on, so don't be in a rush to collect them. For example, if you collect your points on the 31st of March, the expiry date is 30th September (6 months). However, wait one day (1st of April), and the expiry date isn't the 1st October, but the 31st of that month, giving you almost 7 months.

This means if you time it right you can extend the expiry dates to almost 8 months, depending on when you initially earn the points. Example:
-Visit eShop and earn points Friday 1st April; have 30 days to redeem. If you redeem now, expiry is 31st October.
-Instead, redeem on 1st May (the last day of the 30 day expiration date). Expiry is now 30th November.
The 1st of April until the 30th November is a day short of 8 months.

Accumulated points for the eShop and Miiverse missions showed up in my Points History as being collected on the same day, even though they were activated a week apart:

I think the "sign into Nintendo website" works in the same way, which is what I'm guessing you did to get two bonuses at once. Hope I explained that well enough and didn't waffle on too much.
