Thanks for bumping this thread. I almost didnt make the Platinum. I was 100 coins away and remembered that I had not entired my son's MarioParty 8 game. With being 50 coins away, I used a "phone a friend" and got a extra code. I am glad I made it cuz their is no way I will get close to it next year. Any word on the rewards this year???
OOOPPPSS...just saw they announce the rewards on July 1st.
Yet another youtube channel:

I don't see making 600 coins by next year being a problem at all.
There are two upcoming console releases (Wii U & 3DS XL) and a ton of great games coming (New SMB 2/U, Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing 3DS, Pokemon Black/White 2, Pikmin 3, Game & Wario).
I've also got some games and a 25th Anniversary DSi XL that I am holding off on registering until July.
It's a new Club Nintendo year! I hope everyone who wanted to make Platinum last year was able to make it. As usual, the Platinum prizes will be announced "at a later date", but I've got my suspicions that we might see the gold nunchuck as a Platinum prize.
Two new games were also added, though it's a bit weird. There's Mario Tennis 64 for 150 coins, and Electroplankton: Rec-Rec for 100 coins, but they're only available until July 22 and July 15 respectively. I'm guessing they're going to switch out the games more often now, so if you don't like the current offering, you won't have long to wait to get something else.
Bah, totally missed this. Although I really don't know if I may have lost coins or not. I wasn't keeping track of my total.
Confirmed any coins registered over 600 is also lost at the July 1st reset. This is separate of the "store" redemption which have two Nintendo years for that. I'm glad I held off registering the other games so I can start building up the Platinum again for next year. A pain considering some games dropped in value, however a few went up.
Club Nintendo took away the before and after values. I saved the comparison list here:

Mario Tennis 64 is now happily resting in my Wii right where it belongs.
After seeing the Elite Status Reset, I had a concern if I will get the Platinum Gift. I confirmed that the Platinum Staus is in for 2012. Go to the Account & Coins section. It lists a history of all the points entered. At the very bottom is the Elite Status History.
This is strange, why would the 2013 Elite Staus show up and as not qualified?
2013 Elite Status: Did Not Qualify (0 coins)
2012 Elite Status: Platinum (630 coins)
Anyone else have 2013 pop up in their History Status?

Dang, I had seen the comparison list before, but I really should've check again before I just registered Dragon Quest VI and IX yesterday. I had assumed they were going down, but they actually went up. :/
Oh well, the most important thing was spending my points before the end of the Club Nintendo year since most were about to expire. Too bad that even though I read the warnings and was incredibly careful, my blooper fan still got slightly broken as I opened it up. :/ Club Nintendo has been pretty crappy overall, but I guess I can't complain about free stuff.
I would assume that's because it's the new year of platinum.

WTF? I have 630 coins, which I had before June 30, and it says I only have Gold status? 590 coins...
I checked my history, I had 630 coins on June 28th. Is this an error?

You should be fine because mine says gold now but I had platinum last year as well and it changed yesterday.

I just downloaded Mario Tennis, great game!
Did you get all 630 coins that particular year? Your coins are cumulative, so you could have gotten 40 the year before and 590 this year.
Mine is showing the same thing (though I have a whopping 10 coins at the moment for the 2013 year.)

Esquire Fox makes a good point. I reached Platinum earlier in the year (I think around March or April) but my total was not matching up. I had 580 coins when I thought I should have over 600. I emailed Club Nintendo about it and they gave me a rundown. It turned out that some of my coins were from 2011. Even know I have 230 coins even though only 10 count for the 2013 year.

Wow. I can't say I didn't expect it. :/
In Heaven, everything is fine.
Not really keen on this year's selection. I already have two Nintendo card sets (the very nice Animal Crossings set and the hanafuda deck), so that doesn't interest me. The posters are nice but I already have more posters than I need. The calendar isn't practical enough (I'd take it if it were a full-size wall calendar like the one offered by Nintendo Power back in 2010). So, I'm left with the downloads. I already downloaded Majora's Mask when it was offered as a monthly Club Nintendo offer and I own Mario Kart on the SNES. So it seems that I'll go for Mario vs. Donkey Kong (good thing I didn't pick it up when it was also avaiable a few months ago in the Club Nintendo!).
What are you guys picking up this year?
I have to say that the selection is a bit disappointing. Go figure the year I get Platinum status the selection consists of playing cards, posters, the calendar I get EVERY year, and downloads. Where are the cool items like the Mario hat or the statue? I guess I'm going for the cards. Like Lady Jaye, I already have more posters than I really have room for. I already own Super Mario Kart and the other downloads don't do it for me. And I will be damned if I get a calendar again!
