Update (Fri 26th Nov, 2021 14:45 BST): If you missed out last time, you might just be able to snag one of the lovely Animal Crossing Dodo Airlines bags that appeared on My Nintendo in Europe last year. Nintendo has announced another restock...
Original Article (Wed 5th Aug, 2020 12:15 BST): We often find ourselves lamenting the days of good old Club Nintendo and its physical gifts, but the My Nintendo store has given us reason to smile once again with the addition of this adorable Dodo Airlines reusable bag.
Based on the travel company found in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the bag can be claimed for just 400 Platinum Points on the My Nintendo website. As is always the case with My Nintendo, you will have to pay for the shipping on top of that, which can be pretty pricey depending on your location.
You can grab the bag here - just make sure to scroll down to claim your 'Free with Platinum Points' offer. Shipping prices can be found below:
To Germany - 3.99 EUR / 3.55 GBP / 4.45 CHF
To other countries* - 6.99 EUR / 6.25 GBP / 7.80 CHF
* Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Spain, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Latvia, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland, Slovenia, Slovakia, UK
If the shipping price is worth it to you, make sure to jump on this deal quickly. Nintendo notes that stock is limited and urges fans to claim the free reward and go through the checkout as soon as possible.

The website is not actually working (the "add to cart" button is nowhere to be seen...), before anyone gets too excited.
When I die I want a real life "Western-Style Stone" as my grave marker.
Got the reward code but can't add it to the cart! Hopefully the website is fixed soon!
Typical of Nintendo to make you jump through hoops and leap canyons to try and make this work. It doesn't.
Redeemed my points, have my code and can't do jack with it.
@teamshortcut yep same
@teamshortcut @jimolya I’m in the same boat; I have the code, but the button to add the bag to the cart is nowhere to be found. ☹️
@ImagineerNik not working for anyone nintendo has the worst website store etc of the big 3 by a country mile.bloody useless
I can add it to my cart, I just can't go past the Address stage because House Number is a required field and I don't have one.
Funny fact: I did a movies once (the Pirates, 2012) and there happens to appear a dodo in it, which happens to be involved in one of my lines. Funny to see this....
I've spent the point to get the code but I'm not seeing any option to add it to the basket. Can't tell if it's out of stock or the webite is just bad
@Jooles_95 I've even tried another web browser and still not working. I've emailed them about it. Hopefully it's sorted soon so we can get our tote bags.
@Anguspuss I'm heading out in a minute soon and won't be back for hours. I bet if this is resolved in that time I'll miss out despite spending my points.
Nintendo need to catch up to the 2010s, let alone the 2020s
@ImagineerNik i dont even think they are at AOL dial up stage yet never mind fibre
Now when I try I get:
"504 Gateway Time-out"
@jimolya Same; it doesn’t work on any of the ones I’ve tried (Chrome, Safari and even Edge on my work laptop).
Got the code but no luck with the website.
Edit. I give up. Good luck everyone
Europe only? Boo!
Yup same story here, I can't add it to the cart. I did also get those lovely Hanafuda postcards, they could be added to the cart with no issue, so there must be heavy traffic on the DoDo reusable bag page.
Respects to all the people who can't get it. Points should really be deducted when the transaction is done.
Also, why 'limited' stock? Animal crossing is huge now, I'd imagine a lot of people would love this. Just as baffling as when they made some amazing merch for Nintendo Tokyo but made it Japan-only
I find it nothing short of infuriating that the Nintendo website has been so terrible for so long and nothing seems to be done about it. If I was this incompetent at my job, I would have been let go years ago!
I would have gladly parted with all of my plat points for this, think I currently have around 2,000, but don't think I would have paid $3.99 shipping.
I have a bunch of swag from Club Nintendo that always shipped for free. Even the fairly big Zelda bike messenger bag and the 3DS Mario cardboard poster. MyNintendo is such a raging embarrassment.
Anybody been in the NYC store recently and see anything like this? My wife used to work a block away but moved 20 blocks so I'm not asking her to check. If she ever goes back into the office.
Yep, getting an out of stock message now - was there 5 of them?? :S
I wonder if they're out of stock already. Happens so often with this sort of thing... you have about two minutes from when it goes live to frantically try and nab one. ☹️
I wonder if our points will be refunded if we cant actually order one?
I'm not getting an out of stock message, but no purchase button on my laptop, and can't even login on my phone...
This is PEAK Nintendo...
Seriously. Less than an hour.
That's my 400 Platinum Points down the drain then haha.
@BestNerdLife lol. That’s exactly what I thought even if they don’t really have any value
Ah yes when Australia doesn't count as Europe unless it's convenient!
Wish we could have these kinds of rewards over here in the states.....
Nooooo! It's out of stock!
… /]. /]
=( ,• ‸ •, )=
@1UP_MARIO Yeah, better than losing cold hard cash ha.
how many did they have 2 for the whole of switzerland. or for the EU.
Out of stock for me in the UK too =0(
@UmbreonsPapa I wish we could have them in Europe too.
Ah yes that stupid store that only allows for payments done through the use of a credit card. Cause everyone has one of those in Europe 😒. Even after all these years that store still doesn't accept PayPal as well.
My Nintendo members in Canada will just stay content with our printable party hats and printable die block.
This article was 21 minutes old when I jumped on this. Their website is still not working. After the experience I had with the Splatoon posters I don't know why I still bother. (Although with the posters I got the postage refunded as gold points).
I still can't even load the page. What have other people done?
An update on My Nintendo says: "A website issue is currently affecting some users of My Nintendo Store, and we are working to fix this issue. If you have claimed a reward code for a Animal Crossing: New Horizons Reusable Bag and wish to redeem it, please continue to check My Nintendo Store as we anticipate the issue to be resolved shortly. Stock of the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Reusable Bag will be available to all those who have claimed a reward code and redeem it prior to its expiry. "
Every European country page is currently loading properly with the option to proceed... apart from the UK one.
Got mine from German store!
@Discokuningas are you in Germany?
Have to wait for the UK site to come back online. Tried ordering from European stores and it comes up with "We are not able to deliver to this country at this time."
@jimolya literally every link working except the UK one. Feel the post Brexit xenophobia.
@Miyamotosan
No. I am in Finland.
@Discokuningas Teemu Selänne FTW!
its working now folks apears to add to the cart
Beschreibung Menge Preis
Animal Crossing: New Horizons-Mehrwegtasche
SKU: 10004770 1 CHF 0.00
(as long as you're not in the UK...)
The UK page does have html source code, but clearly something's not loading...
What kind of shipping costs £6.25? They’ll probably have these up on aliexpress in a few weeks for pennies.
Wow, they didn't make many of these available, did they? Just got home from a 10h shift and it's been announced, gone live, and sold out in that time...
but Bethesda promised me a c a n v a s b a g
Still not working in the UK. Page doesn't load at all.
The page in the UK is live... and it's not loading properly. How does a company as large as Nintendo have such a poor website experience in 2020?
SOLD out already. Boo.
I just got one in the UK!
It seems to have my address back-to-front, though...
I'm in the UK and I can add to cart and go through Checkout until I try and add my address then I get the error: " Invalid value of "GB" provided for the countryId field." and cant continue
Trying to enter shipping information was a joke.
The whole process was an absolute joke.
Bet I never see this thing.
I seem to be having a unique problem, I click on the UK link and it says I need to log in before I can proceed, I click on the log in button and it keeps endlessly reloading the page. All this to order a bag. I wish there was some accountability for this, but there never has been and there never will be.
Finally managed to checkout and get my bag ordered. Should be here in a few days hopefully ☺️
@jimolya lucky you. Did you use a mobile or pc. Mine was not even logging me in the morning.
@1UP_MARIO Chrome on my phone. The page went blank a few times but worked in the end.
@jimolya thank you.
It's working today in the UK.
yeah mine actually arrived today
Mine too. It made a great present (filled with island fruit and flowers and a stick and a rock)!
Received mine today!
Not really worth the hassle for a 5p bag...
(Laughs in £6.25 delivery)
They don't half make it difficult. Trying to impulse buy on my phone in bed and it makes me re-enter all my name and address details, that they already have, redeem a special code, go to a checkout thing, enter the special code they just gave me, tell me it honestly does cost more than six quid to post it and then ask me to enter my debit card details that they also already have.
Upshot is that I've spent 400 platinum points on a special code that I either forget about tomorrow or I spend £6.25 to make tangible.
They are bloody piss-takers sometimes.
US My Nintendo SUCKS!!!
Why can't we get cool stuff too?!
Mine arrived. It's fine. Shame it was such a chore to get it all sorted though.
Mine arrived on Saturday, but not actually opened it up (I opened the box, but not the wrapped bag).
I never care about those stupid points and now I actually want something and I don't have enough points...
That’s nice. I’m a bit short on points but nice for those that wanted it before
Just had a bit of a chuckle at my original comment on this article. I ended up ordering the bag a year ago when it eventually became available here in the states. While it feels flimsy, it's still going strong and really comes in handy when needing a reusable bag for family outings
I already have one, it's a nice bag. But a bit small to be usable.
@sanderev Actually looking at the bag pictured above, I'm now realizing that this bag is completely different from the one I got from the US My Nintendo. This one definitely looks smaller than the one I have, which you could probably fit a decent size frozen turkey in just to give a frame of reference
Dodo Airlines? Are these barf bags?
Updated article from August 2020 feels like 3 years ago b/c of covid.
Anyway I did use my coins to buy this and paid the shipping. It's a nice little bag, probably not worth the shipping cost but whatever.
I saw this but didn't have enough plat points
