Registering for the Promotion
Before starting, ensure both parties have each other’s Wii Numbers ready.

Notes About the Connection Ambassador Promotion
The person who was helped must register the Connection Ambassador’s Wii Number within 30 days of their first connection to the Wii Shop Channel.
The Connection Ambassador must register the Wii Number of the person they helped within 30 days of that person registering the Connection Ambassador’s Wii Number. Select CONNECTION AMBASSADOR from the Connection Ambassador Menu and then CHECK REGISTRATION STATUS to check how many days remain for registration.
Registering as a person who was helped and subsequently receiving 500 Wii Points is possible once per Wii console.
Connection Ambassadors can register up to 20 Wii Numbers of people they helped connect and receive 500 Wii Points for each of these registrations. For subsequent registrations, only the person who was helped will receive 500 Wii Points.
Once a Wii console has been registered as a Connection Ambassador and received 500 Wii Points, it cannot be registered as having been helped by someone else.
Only Wii consoles with Wii Shop Channel Accounts from the same country as each other may register each other in the Connection Ambassador promotion.
