cimerians Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I had no idea about this. For anyone else clueless like me just go here and login with your Nintendo ID (not your club nintendo) and check your points. You get bonus points for a deluxe Wii U and eshop purchases and you could be sitting on a nice pile of cash: https://p.nintendo.net/deluxe I read about it here: http://www.destructoid.com/psa-go-check-your-wii-u-deluxe-account-for-potential-free-cash--275893.phtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Holy crap man.. I thought this was only for new Deluxe set owners. Turns out it's been going on since around the time the system launched. I had $20 in coupons to redeem! FYI to those that picked up Mario Kart 8-- the free download code given out gives you points as well. If the game is 29.99 at retail, you will get 299 points. 59.99, you will get 599 points, etc. For every 500 points you get with this promotion, you get a $5 activation code for the eShop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenegg Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 OMG! I completely forgot about this credit and never knew where to check it. I've got $15 in credit sitting on my account! Thanks for pointing this out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Wow I was wondering if something like this existed for the deluxe set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarrj Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Had $10 credit waiting for me. You sir have my thanks. I never figured out how to get the codes and forgot about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaytonaUSA Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Wow, thank you! I remember checking this after making my first purchase and was disappointed to see there wasn't any money in there, then never bothered to check again. Had $15 sitting in there! Now I just have to decide...Shovel Knight, or F-Zero MV and GoldenSun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Holy cow! I've got $35 racked up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Thanks for the bump, I forgot about this (again). Had another $5 coupon ready, and it looks like I almost have enough points for a second one on top of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 I forgot too...I just checked it and I got 5 bucks.....wonder how many people still just don't know about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 It was wierd, but when Nintendo advertised the Wii-U Deluxe promotion, I originally assumed the discounts would be credited to the eShop without going online to manually redeem coupon codes. And I thought I never got the discounts because I don't buy retail on disc instead of downloading it. So it seems I've spent just over $300 on the Wii-U eShop through indie and VC, because I apparently got credited with 500 points for downloading Zelda WW HD free through the MK8 promotion. Also my Wii-U is slowly getting full. I've got a few Gb left and a few more I can free up by deleting demos I don't want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaytonaUSA Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Yeah, I'm running out of internal space, too. I really don't want to get a hdd, but this is pathetic that it's nearly full already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 And I don't normally buy retail games, but some of the indie titles are huge. It's as if the devs don't even bother to compress at all. Giana Sisters is a 2D game and it takes like over 3 Gigs! IMO shouldn't be that big even for HD. Several other indie titles I've downloaded are bloatware as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Just a heads up, the promo started in December 2012, and ends on December 2014. You have until March 2015 to spend all of your points.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 If Nintendo was wise, they would just make this a standard thing with eShop purchases. I hate to give money to Nintendo for games I may not be able to recover if my system bites the dust, but having the occasional free $5 coupon has definitely helped fuel my eShop spending habits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I agree...which is why I'm waiting for the physical copy of remix. Some of us refuse to buy download titles that are also available at retail (unless it's a promotion or something). Nintendo knows that and are making the collectors in us go nuts buy releasing retail packaging long after the digital version. Case in point: I bought the Super Luigi U DLC for $20, in summer 2013, then bought the physical game later that fall for $30. It's still minty sealed in the green case with the shrink wrap still on it. Now it looks like I'll have another NES REMIX Wii-U retail disc sitting sealed on my shelf simply as an homage to my NES collecting self. And it will stay in the shrink-wrap like Luigi-U. But I AM NOT a sealed collector: I just hate the idea of NOT HAVING A PHYSICAL COPY of games... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) This deserves a bump because the timeline to earn digital promotion points is about to expire December 31st. With all the indie sales going on right now, I think I'm pretty much tapped out on points codes. 5003 pts ftr!

Austin Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Yes, earn and use up these points people! Last chance to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinks Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Can u do the points next year. Bought two games before christmas for 140.00. Still havent put in for any points yet. Wish it would automatically do whatever. As it know what games are on the console thru all the updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please be aware only digital purchases count towards the Deluxe promotion. If physical games counted, I'd be rolling in eShop dough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Ghost Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I believe that you have until march to ask for your eligible digital purchases to be redeemed for eShop credits , while purchases only through the 31st of December count towards the promotion.

NE146 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I got my 5 bucks a while ago.. looks like there's still no more. So this is only if you bought digital purchases? I guess that makes sense because the only digital purchase I ever did was the free one from Mario Kart 8 (I got Wii Party U). Physical all the way babeey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
