Haha, it's cool dude. You basically have to enter a crap load of codes before a certain date. You need 600+ coins to reach Platinum status, and you have to get them before june or july? Correct me if I'm wrong here...

This is from Club Nintendo:

"Elite Status Coins

An elite status is based on the number of Coins earned in a Club Nintendo year. The Club Nintendo year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. Club Nintendo members that reach Gold or Platinum status by the end of the Club Nintendo year will be sent a special reward. See our FAQ for additional information."

Hope that helped..

It's more than just entering codes. You take post-play surveys, general opinion surveys, "intend to buy" surveys, and stuff like that. Plus, you can link your Wii and DSi shops to your Club Nintendo account and get coins for certain games purchased and surveys taken. I've somehow managed to reach Platinum status both years thus far, heh. Wondering if I can do it again this year. Frustrating that only Nintendo-published games come with the coin-earning registration codes.

What really gets me is why the items in the Club Nintendo store are so "pricey." One little Mario pin is 450 coins. That's the equivalent of 7 Wii games and a DS game. Most people aren't gonna get to that many coins in such a short amount of time (and they expire after three years). Such a gyp. There are four pins. They tease you by saying, "Collect them all!" 450 for a set of four sounds right.

But yeah. Usually crap items, way too expensive. My coins expire mid summer, so I hope something cool (and not too expensive) comes out before then. Really jealous of Club Nintendo Japan's cool items. Europe also gets generally cooler things in their Club Nintendo than North America's. Gyyyyyyyyp.
