Never got the email either, and I signed up for the Pokemon Trainer Club before April 22. Was there a further step where you have to sign up for the newsletter?
They simply need to bring back a code that comes bundled with games like they had for Club Nintendo. The difference: their My Nintendo system works great. The gold coins are an attempt to incentivize people to buy something that doesn't cost Nintendo much, but for those of us who like buying physical copies, the lack of gold coins for us rubs us the wrong way.
Hmm...gold coins might would provide an incentive IF Amazon (combined with Amazon Prime) didn't often make physical versions cheaper. In the end, if I pay $35 for Bravely Second, (as opposed to the $40 on the eShop) I come out with a physical copy of the game. The extra 5$ spent on the digital download would result in me getting 40 gold coins, which is the equivalent (more or less) of $6. In the end, the digital copy just isn't worth it.
No way will I pay for Super Mario World again. I bought it for the first time on Wii U when it was on sell for $5. Even though it was on sell, I recall buying it reluctantly.
It's a cool app, but yeah, I don't really find myself using it much, so I understand Nintendo's decision to cut it. I imagine it's costing them money somehow.
