So by now, you should know that if you buy a Wii U in its Deluxe/Premium form, you’ll be enrolled in the Deluxe Digital Program for the Wii U eShop. If you purchase a game from the eShop, you’ll receive 10% of the purchase back in the form of points. Points then translate into money off future purchases on the shop.
Nintendo of America has further detailed the scheme. If you buy a $59.99 game, you’ll earn 599 points. After every 500 points, you’ll receive $5 in credit to be used on the eShop on either the Wii U or the Nintendo 3DS. You’ll be able to see how many points you have by signing into a new website to launch alongside the program in December. You’ll need your Nintendo Network ID and password to get into it. Exciting right?

The Deluxe Digital Promotion is our way of encouraging Wii U Deluxe Set owners to explore the Nintendo eShop and discover how Wii U offers an incredible combination of fun, innovation, convenience and value.[/quote]
So we know how it’s going to work in North America now, obviously the scaling for the promotions is going to be different here in Australia. We await eagerly for further details.
A tale as old as time.
