I'm currently at gold level right now

is there any way to make it appear?

I remember some of them not expiring til 2013

I recall thinking "lol we'll be dead by then"

some of them are even longer than that

hell, some of them say February and January

obviously those two months have already passed

Well, no, not really. Sure, they should list the years, but if you get them done soon chances are they won't expire. And if they do, it's no great loss.

theres a survey that expires in april

I have no idea if thats THIS april or NEXT april. because it doesn't specify a year

sure, I could do it right now

as well as all of the other surveys that end before the summer

but I'll eventually hit platinum.

and doing those surveys will be waste



the lack of year completely destroys any plans I had to effectively use each survey to its fullest for every year.

It's not hard to follow, assuming you do them every once in awhile. Which...you don't seem to lol. But just do as many as you can, and then do more some other time. Since actual games have been added to the rewards, it's worthwhile to check it once a month when those update. And all those ten point surveys add up pretty quickly so you can get stuff.

Just do them month by month so don't do the April ones until right before they'd expire

This is like the most middle class person problem ever

well like I said, I'll hit platinum at some point, and those surveys will be wasted since theyre not being used to rank me up anymore. I'll be at the cap!

Ok I should admit that I don't know what Club Nintendo is but you aren't making sense

'The surverys may expire!'
'So do them before they might expire'
'But I don't need them anyway!'

So... why does it matter if they expire?

600 coins = platinum status for the year

He's saving up the surveys in case he can't make 600 next year (or the year after, etc)

but they hid the year of expiry so theres a chance they expire and he wont get the coins at all

It's not just about getting Platinum status. It's about the stuff too. Getting a ton of points gets you stuff. YOU WANT STUFF DAMMIT!

Oh, so you want to save for Platinum next year? Well, the ones before today's date are guaranteed to last till then next year. The ones after today's date are guaranteed to last till then at least this year, so you can save the ones after June at least. The rest, you could wait on if you only care about Platinum or do now if there's stuff you want to get with points.

That's the balance, we want both, but hiding the year makes it harder to get both!

I don't think they're hiding the year. They have just made it so you have to do the stuff quicker or it expires. I'm guessing they don't want folks hoarding surveys anymore.

But the simple solution is to just not register your stuff until the Club Nintendo year resets. The exception being e-shop stuff since that gets auto-registered.

What I'm saying is they all expire this year. That's why there isn't a year included. They're preventing people from saving the surveys for years at a time.

I get bored doing one of the surveys. It is difficult to remember specifics about a game I played 2 years ago.

They dont expire this year, my Pokemon White just passed (March 6) and its still there

That said, they WANT us to not save the surveys as described in their FAQ, that's why they removed the year from the display.

Well that's even lamer than I thought. But on the bright side, the surveys still last a long time.
