Sounds cool! And I understand you need to have the specific subject line in order to enter, but do you also need your Webkinz username or your address, in case you win? Like, how will Ganz be able to associate the winner with the email address provided? If you win, do they just send you an email back saying so, and then you disclose your information?
If you win, you will be contacted for that information. There’s no need to send it ahead of time.
This is so cool–I have to enter!
i guess it did but not how i wanted it too ok so i have a question i am sure a few people are asking themselves what is preventing a person from buying 5 yearlys (301 entrees) and if they can not be from the same email or estore account what is preventing them from making 10 of them? it is kinda like the 10 pets thing all over again.
There’s nothing preventing anyone from buying 5 Deluxe accounts from their Ganz eStore account to get 300 entries. Any duplicate entries via email will be disqualified from the contest.
thank you sally i do not plan on entering it was just a issue i had on my mind
Sally, if I bought say three new Deluxe accounts to use at a later date because mine do not expire until Spring and all those accounts are related to the same email address on the estore account do all the entries still count AND is that same email address still qualified to also enter the email single entry in addition? Thanks!
All of the entries would be applied to the one email address — there’s no limit to the number of Deluxe Memberships you can purchase during the promotion period, nor does it matter when or where you redeem those memberships. You may also still use the same email address to get your one free entry.
Awesome! This looks AWESOME! But I’m gonna have to ask my mom first, if I just entered and I won the 36 plush pets, I don’t think she would be happy. Sally, if I am aloud to enter, what do I say in the email do I say “I want to enter” or something like that?
If you are not the age of majority, please have your parent or guardian enter on your behalf. You do not need to include any information, but the title of the email should be “Plenty of Plush Promotion”
OK! Thx Sally! I’ll have my mom type it!
Do you have to have a deluxe membership to enter? If not, can you still enter if the basic (one-year) membership has already expired? Also, do you have to ask for the entry and/or copy of the official rules in the email?
You do not need to be deluxe. If you email plentyofplush@ganz.com with the subject “Plenty of Plush Promotion” that counts as an entry – you don’t need to include information in the email, and you don’t have to request the rules unless you want them.
Do I have to buy something to enter???????
No, you can get a free entry by sending an email with the correct subject line.
no but if you want another entery then get a mebership but only when the contest is on
I think you need to buy the deluxe things…. IT SUCKS! I want the plushs…..
I hope I can enter! It seems pretty easy… ish. :D I’m excited! Maybe I’ll win something!! Thanks, Ganz
I have a few questions about the grand prize of winning the 36 plush pets. I understand that the plush pets are picked out by Ganz but does this exclude signature pets? And are the plush pets a mixture of regular pets and Lil’ kinz?
The selection of pets will be regular full sized Webkinz pets — so that does not include Lil’ Kinz or Signature pets.
Alrighty, thanks!
UUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM…. OK? :\
Wonderful….
Cause IT CANT DO IT :-(
Why not? There is a free entree too. It just gives people who buy Deluxe a better chance by giving them 5 entrees per month purchased.
HOLD ON WE CAN’T ENTER iF WE LiVE iN FLORiDA?? WHY NOT?! i’ve been a loyal Webkinz customer for over nine years and now the BEST PROMO EVER happens and i am NOT allowed to participate???!!!!???
Florida, New York and Quebec all have very strict rules regarding contests.
After all the MONEY I’ve spent on WEBKINZ! For my kids, and random players, I feel each person linked to MY email should get a FREE item since I LIVE IN FL!
What about the UK then what’s our “strict rule” that we cannot ever enter any of your contests even the ones that are only for a virtual code so it can’t be because shipping is too expensive, just an email with a code in cost nothing!! Every contest ever advertised since I first registered back in 2008 has excluded us in the EUR/UK yet we pay upwards of ten GB pounds per toy and can of course purchase anything we want on the Estore yet cannot enter a prize draw/contest. Would really like to know what the problem is with regards to UK residents entering contests. Thank you for your time in explaining.
I think she either lives in New York, Florida or Quebec or she is just not aloud to do it.
Steve, may I still enter if I bought a 12 month deluxe membership this month (October) and not next month? (November) Will I still get 60 entries, or would I have to buy another? Please help. Thanks.
The purchases must occur during the contest period to count towards the contest.
Oh well. I guess I will either NOT enter or only get one entry. It would’ve been awesome to be able to enter 60 times, but I guess not. Well at least I’m deluxe. Being deluxe is fun, though.
Can you please tell me if I can use a gift code for a one year Deluxe Membership to enter the contest (I have bought multiple Deluxe Membership codes so I could get the pet each time) or do I have to purchase 2 new Deluxe memberships to enter? Thank you for any help.
The Deluxe Memberships have to be purchased between November 1 and November 15. It does not matter when you redeem them. If you received Deluxe Membership as a gift, that is not a purchase and doesn’t qualify for an entry.
Great. . . I can’t do it either, the biggest contest EVER and I can’t enter, gee thanks for getting me excited!!!!!!!! =( ;(
So do we have to include “personal information” in our emails????
If you are not the age of majority, please have your parent or guardian enter for you. The only requirement is to send the email during the promotional period with the required subject line.
Whats the age of majority. 18?
It’s generally 18, but it varies from State to State.
