Topic: How many Premium Activation Codes have you claimed so far?

23 soon to be 24!

Can't tell if serious.

Those rare downloads do cost quite a bit.

3, just recently noticed that I got two. Have owned Wii U since last December.

The premium program is ending at the end of this year, wasn't it so? And the codes can be used until summer 2015? Quite nice program and I hope Nintendo keeps up something similar, kind of shame they didn't have anything like this for 3DS, then I would've had tons more.

It's sad because this is the closest thing to a club Nintendo my country will ever have, and they will end it this year.

Good idea, I'm gonna start doing the same now.

I'm on my 3rd but I buy retail.

Just the one thanks to getting Monster Hunter through the Mario Kart 8 promotion and a few Virtual Console games. I should get another one by the time it ends.

23 so far. I uh have a lot of games on my Wii U! heh

16 so far. I own 2/3 of those codes to the Bestbuy Eshop card sale. Make me feel more like a winner.

Honestly, is this different from Club Nintendo? I barely use Club Nintendo, so I have no idea what Premium Activation Codes are about.

Yes, it's a promotion for 32GB Wii U owners that started at the Wii U's launch and finishes December 2014. You're automatically entered if you own a 32GB Wii U so you may have eshop codes waiting for you!

Thank you.

I remember the Premium Membership, never heard of the Deluxe Digital Promotion though. Definitely worth to look into.

19

Eight redemptions if I recall which I'd recycle on additional content for my existing games or I'd bank the credit for a potential sale or if something interests me.

I have claimed two

5!
...but since they counted the free Pikmin I got w/Mario Kart 8, that number is really one less.
I guess when you get to 10 your 11th one was actually 100% created from using the money that you got from earlier codes .
I wish Nintendo had done a better job w/this promotion. I've not talked to anyone who has a WiiU among my friends who has used it!
It should have been directly integrated w/the eShop and showing/pushing you towards spending more to get more. Big mistake in my mind to have it on its own little website. But then no-one asked me .

I bet there are many people sitting on free money due to the promotion but don't know to check it.

12, and halfway to my 13th code. I didn't realize I had scored $60 already, wow.

Ah, the good ol' Best Buy eShop card sales. It's been quite a while since I've seen one of those- I think back in February if I remember correctly? Yeah I score $200 worth of cards every time they hold a sale- we should be due for another pretty soon I think. I love Best Buy though- I won't go near a GameStop anymore after discovering how much money I can save.

I'll tell you something that's better than those eShop card sales though, and that's Gamer's Club Unlocked at Best Buy. Normally it's $120 for a two-year membership, which nets you 20% off all games bought new. Now for me, I made my money back within 24 hours. In fact I've spent $1900 at Best Buy on video games in the last nine months, so that's almost $400 I've saved and it's not even been a year yet. Plus it's stacks on top of their $10 preorder rewards, so I usually only pay $38 for a brand-new game, provided it's one of the bigger games that gets a promotion. Granted, most Nintendo titles don't get the additional $10 off, but sometimes they'll have other offers. Mario Kart 8 was a $10 gas card for example. But anyway you slice it it's the best deal out there if you're a gamer. When you can ore order handheld games for $24-32 tops, and console games for $38-48 tops, it no longer breaks your wallet to stay current with your preorders.

And if you're an avid gamer like me and buy quite a few games a year, you'll most likely hit Elite status (spend $1500 in any 12 month period- that's total Best Buy purchases, not just video games). Elite status grants you free shipping all year long, no minimum purchase, as well as a handful of other benefits like more points per purchase and 50% longer return periods. And if you really want to profit from the system, apply for the credit card they offered too. Buy your games with the card and get 5 to 10% back automatically. And what I do is just pay the bill right away so there's no interest, effectively freeloading the system for even MORE money back.

EDIT: There's actually a sale going on starting right now for a GCU membership (if you're interested), just $30 for two years (normally $120). Sale starts today and lasts through Saturday. Think you have to buy a game valued $40 or more to get the deal, but shoot, you could score Bayonetta 2, get the discount and pay $48 instead of $60, then another $30 for the GCU membership. Just thought you (or anyone else reading this) might want to know. That's a pretty good deal and depending on how many games you buy every year, could save you quite a bit of cash.

Sorry if it sounded like Im pitching you or something, I just like helping people whenever I can

13 so far

will be 14 with Smash
15 with Captain Toad

Just hit 15 this morning Bayonetta 1 & 2 pushed me over the threshold
