Full Membership vs. Deluxe Membership

 

When you see a silver paw, that is something which can be unlocked with a Full Membership or a Deluxe Membership. You can get a Full Membership by adopting a new Webkinz Pet. Each new Webkinz Pet adoption extends your Full Membership for 1 year from the date that you adopt them.

 
The gold badge is for Deluxe Membership only. Deluxe Members get access to everything that Full Members do, and much, MUCH more, without needing to adopt any new Webkinz Pets (but you still can adopt as many as you want to!)

 
You can learn more about Deluxe Membership by visiting the Ganz eStore here.

    VACATION ISLAND may be Deluxe but there are seldom enough thee for a party . In face not 1 party since its changed its so sad :( I miss real partys.

  5. SmoresOfScotland says:

    One question; how do I tell when my full membership/deluxe membership is about to expire? I have looked but I can’t tell. Thanks.

    • kinzmaven says:

      Here’s how: You would have had (or had someone else) use an eStore account to make the initial purchase for the Deluxe Membership on (whatever date). There Is a record in that eStore account ~ under “Order History” ~ which is denoted by “Membership” on the line where the other purchase details appear. Additionally, you receive an email notice approx. 1 month before the term expires and a note to your kinzmail box, in your Webkinz World account, which also reminds you to renew. Have a kinz’~er~iffic day!

    I have had deluxe I loved it but the price is kinda high for virtual stuff. I would get deluxe again if the price was lower and same with estore points for virtual stuff its not worth the money although many pets are cool and I love them all. I would reccomend 3 month deluxe though.

  7. cassiesgram says:

    I am a deluxe member,I think you should make more of the thing’s for the regular members.

  8. myhondarocks says:

    We love our Deluxe accounts!

    I don’t hate Deluxe members (I’m friends with a few), and they do pay more for things to do in Webkinz. But I didn’t like it when they (Ganz) went a little crazy last year by almost making everything Deluxe i.e. Vacation Island, Arcade, and KinzStyle Outlet. But they have been slowly bring things back to all members and again just my opinion. Have Fun in Webkinz

    • AwsomeSwagDragonGirl1 says:

      I don’t hate deluxe membership, but its just that its kinda pricy to become one… and estore points are ESPECIALLY pricy!! :mrgreen: :lol: :roll: :P :cry: :oops: :evil: :) :D

    • mollyberger says:

      I agree. I was totally disappointed when like A TON of things became deluxe. especially vacation island .

    • pupptpink552 says:

      I did not like it when most clothes and vacation island was for deluxe only!

    • HappyHerbivore says:

      I agree!!! I was Deluxe, and when I didn’t buy it this year, you cannot do ANYTHING! :( I didn’t buy it because I am getting a little older and have other things to buy. But I have around 130 Webkinz, and I have spent over $1500 on them, and then my access is limited. That’s what makes me mad. ~HappyHerbivore :D

      • kkovacs says:

        I agree. When my deluxe ran out on my other account, I couldn’t even put things in my dock! And they told me I had a “free” account. With over 150 pets, I wouldn’t consider that “free”! Please, Webkinz, give people who buy pets an advantage! That’s a lot of money I spent on pets. I should have benefits for that!

      • luvadajava says:

        I agree. I am annoyed that I have purchased many pets and estore stuff in the past, have been a member for a LONG time, and now have my activities limited because I didn’t purchase a new one within the time period. They just didn’t put one out that I LOVED this year. I will probably go Deluxe again, but I don’t like the Harmony Crane that comes with the one year membership right now. I wish I could choose a pet to go with the Deluxe Membership, rather than having to take the one they chose. Too many restrictions!!

      • twinsister27 says:

        I have 62 pets on my account right now (Not including ones I got when my older siblings grew out of Webkinz, or that I got from Value Village, etc.) and I am not deluxe, but I don’t like deluxe! I mean, you have to pay money for a year-long Deluxe Membership? Um, Ganz, I know you want more money, but I have 62 WEBKINZ! (All Lil’ kinz, normal kinz, and 2 Mazin’ Hamsters) Oh, and some Zums. That’s worth HOW much money again? One thing I don’t know if Ganz realizes or not, Webkinz is a KIDS GAME. I began playing on August 6, 2007, (Says it on My Profile) and I was 7. Ganz just doesn’t realize that kids who have no Deluxe Membership and had an account before Deluxe Membership existed and took over Webkinz can possibly be the tiniest bit upset at things like if their favorite game is now blocked to them by Deluxe Membership. It’s just not fair! Why did they MAKE Deluxe Membership, anyways? They should just take it away and everyone will be happy!

    • maryd0219 says:

      yeah i was really bummed when they made vacation island deluxe that was one of my favorite spots on webkinz world

    • PHKGirl says:

      I ONLY RECENTLY BECAME DELUXE, BUT i AGREE!

    • MJH08 says:

      i really wish we could have all of the things that memebers have now back to regular members :) :(

    • KinzKollecter says:

      I hate that I have spent so much money on webkinz (205 pets) and yet I can’t have a vacation at the island like I used to be able to do when it was for all users! Same with the certain arcade games that are deluxe now. It isn’t helping the deluxe members since it isn’t giving them anything they couldn’t already access, it is just hurting the non-deluxe members, to try to get them to go deluxe. Sorry ganz, but I’ve spent over $1000 on webkinz, so I’m not going deluxe any time soon. Sorry for such a long post! phew! :oops: :wink:

      • kkovacs says:

        Read my post above, same situation. Over 150 pets, and told I’m a “free” member. They have this all wrong. And should change the rules for people who have a large number of adoptions.

      • _Brianna_ says:

        KinzKollecter OMG :0 you spent over a thousand dollars on webkinz and have 205 pets!! You must have played for a long time! Well a lot of people feel the same way you do. Nobody really “likes” deluxe memberships and it should really say something about deluxe on the little code tag that comes with the webkinz. :/

      • KinzKollecter says:

        Thanks for replying _Brianna_ and kkovacs! Yes, I took the opportunity to read your post, and I am sorry that they are so unfair to such loyal collectors, you and me alike. Haha, yes Brianna, I guess I have been playing for a while, but not really for that long. I started my account in the summer of 2009, but since I didn’t have access to internet, I obviously couldn’t use it. In 2010 when I got a laptop, I began playing again, and that’s where the obsession began! Glad to see I’m not the only one who feels this way. I think you should automatically have your account upgraded to deluxe once you adopt at most 100+ pets. I think that would be more fair! :mrgreen: :wink: :mrgreen:

        • EllaWorld says:

          It’s so annoying! We PAY money for pets, kinz clothes, etc. and yet we have to pay more for membership? It’s greed that has taken over, just like with any other company.

          • Brookroses says:

            Dude, I’ve been playing webkinz since age 5. The membership is pretty cheap, too. why don’t you check it out? start earning an allowance from your parents. I get my $10 a week and that’s not a lot. but even after getting deluxe membership, I still have money leftover. (you save money if you get it for a year, too!)

        • als123 says:

          I began playing in 2009 too and I have 8 pets. Well… I have been a deluxe member once for 6 months. KinzKollecter, you have a lot of pets!

          • als123 says:

            Oh and in webkinz I think you should become a deluxe member like this: to become a deluxe member is that in the w shop you can get to buy it for 50,000 w cash at most. That is what I think is fair.

          • Keyy20 says:

            ive been playing since 2008 and i have six pets, one of them free. how in the cheese balls do you afford all those pets??????

          • RainbowDash716 says:

            I like Cheese balls.

    • kid456 says:

      i love deluxe membership

    • lexi2003 says:

      i agree i used to be able to do all those things on my old account but i lost it and on my new one i can’t do half the things i could before i wish they would change it back to the way it was i understand some deluxe things but everything is deluxe now!

    • TennesseeFrogs2 says:

      I am a deluxe member but i totally agree with you. Not everything should be deluxe, there should just be certain benefits.

    • hipster9 says:

      i agree, im a memeber but i still think more things should be more non member :l

    • pinkangelgirl1 says:

      Yeah, they did go a little crazy last year. An opinion of mine about full membership is you get one year per pet. If that was true, I would have 23 years of full membership. My parents don’t pay for deluxe. I liked Webkinz a little better before Deluxe Membership. (I started in 2007 when I was 6.)

    • froggerDoodles says:

      I am not deluxe… People who are deluxe basically pay to get as rich as me. I have over two hundred thousand kinzcash, and much more. I have been a member for almost 8 years. and GUESS WHAT?! I haven’t put any money into being deluxe or buying estore points!

    • candywolflove says:

      ikr the only 1 thing I don’t like with webkinz is that u have to have 2 member ship to get every thing

    • Albino says:

      I agree, all the things I used to be able to buy in Wshop are deluxe! I can’t makeas pretty rooms anymore! Wshop was supposed to be for everyone):

      • tiger2too says:

        I feel the same, even the curio shop has started to sell many deluxe things so it is even harder to find any rare items that are for non deluxe players

    • mimirabbit says:

      I don’t really mind the deluxe memberships either. Ganz’s fanbase has been getting older older, and much of the kids who bought their first Webkinz pets are now teenagers. Deluxe memberships are a good way to get some extra money by encouraging kids to purchase them, which really isn’t such as bad idea; I’ve noticed that less and less Webkinz plushes have been sold at retail stores so Ganz needs all the money it can get. I also suspect this is the same reason why there are so many other games made by them now, because they all appeal to different audiences and age groups. I love Ganz and the great memories they give me and I would hate to see them gone, so things like this and estore points are great (especially for kids who can’t purchase physical webkinz)!

      • pinkangelgirl1 says:

        But, on the other hand, mimi, some kids can only purchase the physical Webkinz, and cannot purchase Deluxe Memberships and Estore points. We should get the same chances on Webkinz, because we’re paying money just like the Deluxe Members, and I’m pretty sure we’re paying more. ($20 a pet!) I have nothing whatsoever against Deluxe Members, and got some awesome items I couldn’t buy myself. But, I also am a Full Member who likes to protest for being able to play like we used to, when Deluxe Membership didn’t exist. This is my opinion. (Player since 2007.)

      • lexi5338 says:

        That made me reconsider how I think about Ganz actually

      • Amber2470 says:

        Yeahn learning exprees, where i got all my webkinz has stopped selling webkinz!!!

    • 1gavin1 says:

      i want to be a deluxe i think it would be awesome! but i cant afford it.i think i will get to be one though my mom and dad are thinking about it. yay! i don’t really like the deluxe membership thing but i don’t think that they are show offs

    • redwolfgirl says:

      I have nothing against deluxe members, I just don’t like it that regular members hardly get any cool clothes anymore

      • jrpup says:

        I have realized that sometimes in the curio shop there are items that are deluxe in the w shop but are for everyone in the curio shop. the only problem is that the items usually cost a little more in the curio than in the w shop. hope this helps!

      • isana7 says:

        it has to so that people will want to be deluxe and so it means a little

    • caty says:

      I don’t hate Deluxe members (I’m friends with a few), and they do pay more for things to do in Webkinz. But I didn’t like it when they (Ganz) went a little crazy last year by almost making everything Deluxe i.e. Vacation Island, Arcade, and KinzStyle Outlet. But they have been slowly bring things back to all members and again just my opinion. Have Fun in Webkinz

    • awesom645 says:

      your right. i think they overdone it with deluxe. arcade games, vacation island, kinzstyle outlet and ESPECIALLY w shop were turned into deluxe. its very annoying. those things were supposed to be for full members and deluxe was supposed to get extra stuff not take our stuff!

    • cookbook says:

      its so dumb i dislike deluxe unless they send me deluxe things

    • ilovemom6777 says:

      yeah I was so mad when they took away like everything but now ganz is making up

    • Ariel91203 says:

      I agree i have been playing for 4 years I know what it was like before everything went deluxe.

    • Oreo252 says:

      Yeah i also hate deluxe it is sooooooo unfair =(

    • lilprincesspoo says:

      What if people used hard earned money to pay it off?

    • lilprincesspoo says:

      How do people make friends with people that have horns on their hats?

    • 123PrincessCC says:

      Yeah, me and my friend aren’t usually the ones to complain but almost every single thing is deluxe!!! PLEASE make deluxe memberships less expensive, because webkinz is supposed to be free to play!

      • lilly222me203 says:

        hi im lilly

      • BirthdayDragon says:

        It is *kinda* less expensive now. About $6 and below per month (depends on if you’re year, 3, or 1). I bet you (or your parents) get at least $1,000 per month, so if you bought Deluxe on the first, that would be the first thing you spend it on and if their salary is $1,000 then they would have $994 left. So I think that it’s a pretty good pricing now. And for year Deluxe, you spend a total of $44. If your parents get more money per month, they can get you any of the Deluxe. If they are medium, you can ask them for 3 months deluxe or 1 year deluxe. And if your parents don’t get a lot for their salary each month, than choose Deluxe 1 year because you only spend about 3 or 4 $ each month and you spend a total of $44. You may think: “That’s expensive!” it is, but it is broken into months so it makes it look cheaper because your parents get a new salary each month.

    • KHLovesPets says:

      i do to i do not like that i cant get some stuf for my pet thake some of the deluxe off do it do it do it

    • goty2003 says:

      i agree markg97 i use to be deluxe but now i cant even buy the clothing at the kinz style shop that i payed 1000 kinz cash for jest to buy the stuff there and i cant play me fav games.

    • cashbunny2 says:

      they have slowly

    • ariama90 says:

      I reely dont like the new deluxe membership, it seems like a pawful idea to me. I rember back when there was no deluxe and it was reely fun! but now with deluxe it isnt fun in fact fur some time i thought about stop playing. I reel dont like that you have to pay to get certain things it just seems unfair and not equal. Mostly fur people who dont have enough money to get deluxe I reely do wish they didnt everfur come up with the idea. But I do know some times in companys they have to make silly things for more money just to keep the company running. I wish things were like that fur some many things. (^>*_~,<^)

      • ariama90 says:

        Oh I messed up I meant Werent not were like that JUst a note Sorry Fur any confusion oh and pardon the cat and fish puns I do that when im upset. (^>*m*,<^)
