Club Nintendo realesed the awards about a month ago, for the people who reached gold and platinum status. For gold, there was a calender. For Platinum you could get a mario hat or a free download of Punch Out.
Personally, I was disapointed in the rewards. Here you can discuss the awards, what you liked about them and what you didn't.

Those that don't know what he's talking about, Club Nintendo (in the US) recently announced their rewards for people getting to Gold and Platinum status (basically having a certain amount of points after registering products and taking surveys).
Gold members could get a calendar. Whoop-dee-frig.
Platinum members could get either a pillow-looking Mario hat, or a downloadable Punch-Out!! fight against Doc Louis (just a single fight) made especially for Platinum members.
I got the Punch-Out!! download for a few reasons.
One, it's a downloadable fight against Doc Louis! Awesome! (Too bad it's not the whole game, but hey.)
Two, both my brother and I contributed to those points, and we both couldn't have the Mario hat.
Three, good luck finding the download of Punch-Out!! on eBay, where I'm sure there will be plenty of Mario hats.
I also got the puchout demo, but I cannot remember when I can dowlnload it. I really wasn't dissapointed in the rewards because at least they gave us something for the games we would buy anyways. It's not like Sony or Microsoft give you anything for free, minus cool game demos. However, I would of prefered wii points instead.
Gone are the days when they would give out awesome stuff like the Zelda Collectors Edition disc for GC. You only had to register 2 games and your GC to get it too, so it was quite easy to get.
Now that they have the VC and classic games are being sold for money there's little to no motivation for them to give away awesome stuff like that. Like every company they only care about money.
I was considering getting a Club Nintendo membership.
Until I realized: They could have put every single Game & Watch game in the Game & Watch Collection. They aren't exactly massive games.
