Here are some tips to get the most out of Club Nintendo surveys.
Budget Your Surveys
One thing that many Club Nintendo members are unaware of is that surveys for different games expire at different times. You have five years to complete a survey from the game’s launch date. For example, a survey for New Super Mario Bros. Wii will expire in 2014, whereas one for Super Mario Galaxy 2 will last until 2015.
When redeeming surveys, always start with the surveys that will expire the soonest. This should be done for every type of survey, whether it be product registration or post-play. This way you will no longer have to worry about your surveys expiring, and you will always have some surveys remaining to use in future years.
Complete Post-Play Surveys
Besides completing product registration surveys, there are also surveys that allow you to evaluate what you thought of a particular game. These usually appear a couple of weeks after purchasing a downloadable game, and within days after completing a product registration survey. All downloadable games released after October 2008 qualify for these surveys. By completing them you can net yourself 10 extra coins.
