Rumor: Is Nintendo deactivating some Club Nintendo accounts?
With Nintendo announcing the discontinuation of Club Nintendo many of its members have been scrambling to make sure they can get enough coins to acquire their desired goodies before it goes away for good (I myself am one of those people!). This leads you to believe that there would be those that would try and find a way around getting those coins in an honest manner.
Last month a 4Chan user posted an exploit on how to get easy coins for Club Nintendo members. The exploit basically had you taking a confirmed code and changing a single number or letter until you got it to work. Sadly this proved so easy that eBay was then had people selling “generated” codes, as well as users redeeming multiple codes for free digital games. Some were also taking advantage of coins that had previously been able to be redeemed through the purchase of the Wii Mini.
Recently a number of Reddit users have posted that their accounts had been deactivated. There has yet to be any additional confirmation of the legitimacy of this claim or how wide spread the issue is.
