SBCG4AP/Club Nintendo question
Sorry if this is the wrong board for this, but I figured around here would be a good place to ask.
(If you don't feel like reading the next paragraph, I've posted a quick question right after it)
Has anybody here with a Club Nintendo account been able to take surveys or anything for the 3 eligible SB episodes? I had linked my Wii Shop Channel and Nintendo account a while ago, so it knows that I bought them, but I can't seem to get coins for them. They show up under "Earn Coins", but all I see is a big picture of a coin with "0 coins" and "Product Registration" under it below a "To-Do List" heading. I don't see any kind of link for a survey or anything, though. I haven't registered anything else yet, so I don't know exactly how the process is supposed to work, but from what I've read, I don't know why I can't do anything. The FAQ says it may take 4-6 weeks for the "Post-Play" survey to appear, but I downloaded 3&4 around when 4 came out, so I should at least see them. The only thing I can think is that the surveys will appear 4-6 weeks from when Club Nintendo launched/relaunched, which probably hasn't passed yet.
Long story short: Has anybody else been able to take a survey for the 3 eligible SBCG4AP games, or is it something that nobody can do just yet?
Also, for the Telltale employees, any idea why only 3 of the 5 episodes are eligible? It seems a little random, and it kind of stinks that we lose out on those 20 coins.

Also, I think you're probably right that the survey will show up 4 to 6 weeks after the club officially opened, since that's probably when the internal system "registered" the game for you.
What do these coins get you?
You can read the list of eligible games here. The first two Strong Bad episodes are the ones missing, because they were released before whatever date was chosen. Really can't complain about free stuff, but it is a bit unfortunate that older VC and Wiiware games don't count, since it's not like they're out of print or anything.

Once you link them together, it automatically knows what WiiWare/VC games/Wii Channels you have downloaded. Hmm, I'm not sure why. Have you tried it in the past week? They only brought it back up about a week ago. Hopefully you can get it to work.
I dont' know why it's acting this way (and I know for double-sure that I downloaded each SBCG4AP game the day they came out, so it's not like I'm inelligible for the survey or anything). Maybe it's just Nintendo still working the kinks out (personally I'd prefer it if they fix the Wii's glaringly obvious storage problem first but that's just me).
EDIT: Yeah, the FAQ on the Club Nintendo site explained all. I guess we had to wait 4 to 6 weeks after Dangeresque 3's release to be able to take its post-play servey, and the same will go for 8-Bit is Enough. So it's 4-6 weeks after the Wiiware games' release, not 4-6 weeks after Club Nintendo USA went active I guess. And the site sure is misleading, claiming that WiiWare games could be registered for 10 coins but then later saying that product registration surveys are unavailable for them.
Maybe it's because someone else's account was linked to the Wii before this? It's a communal Wii from our office and I unlinked that account so I could link up the account I created. (Just want to see how it all works!)
Oh well.
HomsarGuy: Hmm, I don't know why it's doing that. I'm assuming you are sure your password and stuff are correct? Was there anything on that account yet, or could you just make a new one and see if that works?
It's saying stuff about traffic when I log in.
