The Nintendo Accounts website has been updated with a new page containing a QR code for registered members. By using it, you can “check in at select Nintendo events and locations.”

Now, what’s the purpose of this? “Checking in gives you access to exclusive My Nintendo member benefits that may be available,” Nintendo says. It’s worth noting that benefits will vary, and details will be shared in the future.

Get 10 Platinum Points on My Nintendo by popping a balloon on the homepage

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 9 Comments

My Nintendo displays a variety of Mii animations on its homepage. These are shown at random, and include things like your character playing a 3DS.

One of these animations can actually net you a few extra coins. Described as a “secret mission”, if you pop the relevant balloon, you’ll earn 10 Platinum Points. It should be clearly visible since you’ll see the middle balloon has a Platinum coin tied to it.

Refresh My Nintendo’s homepage, and you should find the Platinum Points balloon soon enough.

My Nintendo began to display the amount of points that are expiring on your account back in September. With the recent website refresh, it has now been extended further.

In the past, you’d only be able to see how many points were expiring over the next three months. This has now been doubled. Along with the current month, users can see the amount of points that will be leaving their accounts five months beyond.

Visit this page for a look any points that may be expiring as we head into the new year.
