Topic: Damn, registered the MK8 PIN too early!

Posts 1 to 20 of 120

I just bought Mario Kart 8 through the eShop and in my hype registered the PIN I got right away in my Club Nintendo account. Now I've just seen that the PIN needs to be registered after 10 am in order to participate to the bonus game offer.

Now, do you think Nintendo will grant me the bonus game even though I didn't read the terms before registering the code? I sure hope so.

WARNING!!!
If you happen to get your copy of the game early, DO NOT REGISTER UNTIL TOMORROW!!!, there have been reports of people who registered their copy with Club Nintendo early who DO NOT GET THEIR FREE GAME because it is not within the May 30 - July 31 time period required for the free game.

Look at this:

Your in deep doo doo.

DAMN!! I knew that with the 30th, but not with the time ... Come on Nintendo, you can't do that with me!

Just tried the Nintendo live chat. Seems like I'll have to wait some hours to get an answer ...

Chat reply: "You'll need to give us a call for this. We don't have access to Nintendo Club accounts on this chat."

This is kinda similar to "I didn't read the general business terms before ordering sth from them." - they just can't expect us to read through the terms when they're not stating that we've to wait until 10 am neither in the registration process nor in the dozens of banners promoting the promotion (they only state "between May 30th and June 31st").

The promotion comes with an specific time period.

If you registered it a few hours before it started, it is no different from registering it some hours after it ended.

Bloop.

Yeah that can that's why its called fine print and that's why its there for people like you that don't read it and then try to blame them for your screw up.

I registered early for a different promotion in the past. I can't remember what it was, but it didn't matter, I got my thing.
I also registered early for this one. I'm sure it will be fine.

Whew, thank you, finally somebody who gives me some hope. Would definitely ruin my weekend if I didn't get a chance to participate in the offer.

I think it may have been the free Ocarina of Time soundtrack when you register the game.

I don't want to bring you down, but it seems weird that they would specify 10am, Now I'm a little worried.

The terms were available before the promotion and you chose not to read them.

Yea. I think you'll be fine. Last year at PAX East my sister and I won both a 3DS XL and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity a bit before the promotion for the free game when you registered both happened. Anyway, I registered them a day early, and then the next day I received my choice of a free game. Now, this could be different though, but hopefully this brings some hope.... but this promotion did say 10 a.m.

I have a question about the MK8 CN free game. By registering the MK8 PIN on CN in May 30, does the website chooses the free game for you or do you get the option to choose any of the free games?

You get the option.
