More info. http://club2.nintendo.com/program-notice/
So it seems that there could be a new customer loyalty program in the future. I don't understand the logic behind this since the current one works just fine, imo. But whatever.

Anyway, yeah it sucks but I'm not surprised. The rewards as of late have been very sadly few and far between. Also the poor excuse for a Gold/Platinum reward last year was indeed a sign of death.

Hopefully I can at least try to make 700 coins and get the smash bros poster set before June, granted they still have them by then.

I currently have 2890 coins so I hope they add something good in February. Last year's rewards were a disappointment but then I can't complain because I get my registration codes from work. That's what really made the digital offers last year rather worthless to me though as I don't own a 3DS or Wii U. I do have a Wii but none of the gifts were for Wii. Although I don't play a lot of Nintendo games, I just like gaming in general and wanted some cool display types of items when I started using Club Nintendo. All I've managed to get the past few years are some playing cards, a soundtrack, a couple digital games, and some Kirby patches. I got the patches because I had expiring coins and there wasn't much to choose from. While they've had a few decent items for offer since I joined, I was greedy and was always waiting for something better, and I didn't know coins expired until I got that email telling me so  :P

It's sad to hear, though I'm not surprised. Club Nintendo seems to have been going downhill as of late, and this seems like the direction it was headed in. I understand that all those physical rewards would've been expensive to make and ship, but it is a bit odd that they didn't just give up on those and move to digital only rewards or something. Well, it was nice while it lasted. :'(

Heh, watch them put up something OMG amazing next month now that I've pretty much used all my points. :P

This is very depressing.. I always enjoyed going to club nintendo and seeing what physical rewards they had. Even though they haven't had many good rewards as of late, it seems like a great idea to get feedback on games. I wonder what happens if you have coins left over you are unable to spend?

The coins just go away, according to the U.S. announcement. Pretty sad, since I have 1500 on there and tons to register. They'd better have a few decent rewards before it goes away. I've sat on these coins for a long time.

Unfortunate given it's legacy but I'm not sad to see it go. The past few years of the NA branch wasn't that great. Wonder what they're going to have next.

Time to cash out I guess. I have a ton of unredeemed club Nintendo points (over 3000). I was waiting for the right reward to pop up and cash out, but now I might as well wait and see war February has to offer and just buy whatever they're selling.

This really does stink. I love Club Nintendo! It also bothers me that they are going the "digital only" route. I still will join the "new" club nevertheless, but I am going to miss those cool prizes like posters and stuff.
