Random folks have contacted me over the years since I asked about the T² TEAM CLUB (https://archives.tg-16.com/duo_world_0003.htm#T2).

Yeah, it's just anecdotal evidence, but it's all I've got. :(

I'd love it if folks could add anything, or answer any of the lingering questions. :)

I never redeemed any, in fact, I ignored them completely. Even to this day I have only a passing mental acknowledgment they even exist.

I never redeemed any Turbo Points, but I did redeem a couple of the $5 rebate coupons that came with Duos.  If memory serves, I redeemed them for $5.

That's quite a limb to go out on there, friend.

I used to save the pizza points from my ninja turtle action figures, but I unfortunately never used them. LmAo.

My parents still save 10 coupons from actual pizza boxes to get a free pie from the local pizzaria.

No joke. :)

One of the games that I purchased on ebay had the Turbo Points cut off so they must have redeemed them. Was there anything worth getting?

In theory, hells yeah!  They listed a Duo, an Express, a LaserActive, and an AES as prizes, but they probably required eleventy-kajillion points and consequently were never awarded.

I'd like to see how many points those expensive items cost.  I'd imagine you could buy every US Turbo-related item that was released and still not have enough points for a Duo or Neo Geo.

Sadly, no. People are silly and cut things out. Lord knows why. I suspect they never even printed a catalog, or, even if they did, it was never distributed. TTi was moribund when they announced the T² Club. :(
