club nintendo is shutting down

[blinkzane]

soure: HERE
this is sad for me, I've spent years going to the rewards program and have tons of games registered there that will be gone soon. I've already sent an email regarding all the games and systems I've registered concerning where this information is going and if we are losing it forever.

Important Information on Club Nintendo Program Discontinuation​

Dear Club Nintendo Members,
Thank you for your continued loyalty to Nintendo.
We launched Club Nintendo 6 years ago in North America, and we’re grateful for all of the feedback that our members have provided on your experiences with our products.
In order to focus on planning for a new customer loyalty program for our fans, we’ve decided to wind-down the Club Nintendo program. We are deeply thankful to our members for being a part of Club Nintendo for all of these years.
We will share details about our new program at a later date. For now, please see the schedule below for information on the discontinuation timeframe for Club Nintendo.
All Coins will be deleted when Club Nintendo accounts are closed on July 1, 2015. As a result, to give our members the best opportunity to use their Coins, we will add dozens of downloadable games and a limited quantity of exclusive reward items to the rewards catalog in February. In addition, as a small token of appreciation for your loyalty, all Club Nintendo members will receive a free download code for Flipnote Studio 3D in February 2015. Please visit here for information on the software and how to get the download code.

it's only the America branch or all club nintendo?

I went and spent about 25$ on 400 points to bump me from 215 to 615 since this is the last Elite/Platinum status gift from Club Nintendo and I do not want to miss it.
my original plan before I heard this was to use the points from the new 3ds XL to bump me into Gold status then reach Elite/Platinum if enough good games were released before the deadline for the 2015 status.
I would recommend anybody who wants Elite/Platinum to buy points now as it won't be long before eBay scalpers sellers catch on and raise the cost of points considerably.

Hey guys! We've got quite the discussion going on in another thread! I'd kindly ask that you all redirect your thoughts on this matter to there just so we can keep everything nice and organized!

Really is a bummer that it's shutting down though
