Nintendo's Nobember Mishap...

Post by Hazerd »

:lol:
Dear Club Nintendo Member,

Thank you again for being an Elite Status Club Nintendo member this past year.

As you may have noticed, we misspelled one of the months on the Year-view Calendar insert, included alongside your 2012 Club Nintendo Calendar Elite Status gift. (It's the month between October and December.)

We're really embarrassed and apologize for this oversight; we always want our rewards and gifts to be special. We would like to offer you a replacement Year-view Calendar insert. In the interest of saving paper, we thought it better to ask if you want a replacement before automatically sending.

Please confirm by January 9th if you would like a replacement and we'll happily send you a new Year-view Calendar insert.

Thanks again for being a member of Club Nintendo.

We appreciate your continued feedback and loyalty.

Happy New Year!

Club Nintendo

That's very nice of them to admit fault and offer a replacement, but seriously holy shit man. How come no one double checked the calendar for mistakes like this? How embarrassing. (>_<);

If anyone gets a replacement calendar, I'll gladly take either the defective one, or, if you wish, the replacement one for cost of shipping.

They arent replacing the whole calendar, only the insert i posted a pic of.

The pics are only of the insert not the actually calendar, the actual calendar has a little card for each month with a picture from a Nintendo Wii game.

Just got the same email. I opted for the replacement. But now I'm hanging onto my original, for sure. Seems like a printing error like that might become a collectible item in the future, like a comic or record with a misprint.

Every single one had a printing error though, so its not like they are going to be rare.

I bet that will happen. Even if there are a lot of them, I bet a lot of people will throw away the mis-spelt one when they get the fixed one.

You don't think a lot of people are gonna throw the originals out on account of this?
