Club Nintendo

I've finally joined Club Nintendo. After years of seeing the Japan Only premiums, wishing they were here, Nintendo decided to bring their loyalty program here back in December. After a couple of tries over the last few months of trying to get my account registered, it finally worked. I linked my Nintendo.com, Wii Shop, and DSi Ware accounts together and began collecting coins. Just from the handful of Nintendo games I had lying around my desk, I was able to become a Platinum Member for this year.

What that means is that at the end of the cycle ending around June, Platinum and Gold members will be send a "Special" gift, whatever that may be.

I'm currently searching through the store and there are tons of things I'd like to buy.

Wii Remote Holder
Animal Crossing Playing Cards
Mario Hat DS Game Organizer

Brad keeps telling me to hold off for something bigger but I'm worried the coins expire, does anyone know? I'm waiting until the next fiscal year to register more of my games so I can achieve Platinum Status next year as well.
