Gaming Nintendo Points Card question

[SamAsh07]

First of I live in Bahrain (Asia), see the red flag on the left? Anyways lol, my DSi is a US region one, NTSC-U, firmware is 1.4U so that very much sums it up eh? DSi shop is also US region one (well ofcourse xD), anyways now to my question, does the Nintendo Points Card have a region lock? Is there such thing like a NTSC Nintendo Points Card and PAL Nintendo Points Card? If so, what should I look out for on the box? I know I could ask the retailer, but just for double checking you know.

AND my other question:- When I enter the Nintendo Points Card PIN on my DSi, it will automatically convert the points to DSi points right? I'm asking this because I found this on Wiki "Once purchased, Nintendo Points must be converted into either Wii Points or Nintendo DSi Points before they can be used, locking the points for use on one platform only"

When you insert the code in your DSi, the points can only be used on your DSi. The same points can't also be used on the Wii and vice versa.
The Nintendo Points cards are region locked. Sorry!

Ok they are region locked, I have a NTSC DSi, so where does the Nintendo Points Card region name appear??

I don't understand what you mean.
Since you have a NTSC DSi you would have to purchase these Points Cards...

Sorry for not clarifying, I only wanted to know if the Nintendo Points Card box has the region name imprinted on it, like if its NTSC "Nintendo Of America blah blah blah", like that. The Points Card here are imported from EU/US, so that's why I wanted to know.

EDIT: Btw the links you provided, first one does lead to a US region card, but its a Wii Points Card and it clearly says in the features "These points are only suitable for the US Wii™ network!"

EDIT2: SO this is a NTSC Points card http://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=3529260

For NTSC points cards it will say in the bottom left
"For sale and use only in the USA and Canada".

Look above and it'll say
"NINTENDO OF AMERICA INC
P.O BOX 957, REDMOND WA
98073-0957 U.S.A"
