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.

I have been playing Webkinz since Jan 2009, before there was such a thing as deluxe. It was better then. I become deluxe last year b/c there were so many things I couldn’t do. I feel the whole deluxe thing is unfair, and that if you have an account with a pet you paid for, you should have access to all areas.
Agreed!!!
Yeah my mom only,let me get deluxe for a little bit with my money, but then the day it ran out it kept going so we had to buy another and then it ends:/
Ok people, here’s my two cents worth from someone who has been Deluxe for as long as I can remember…Watch for special offers if it is too pricey for you or your parents, or break it down and buy it a month or so at a time. Asking for it as a gift is a great idea too…If you have to pay for it yourself, do it by the month and it only means giving up a latte e.g. I give this advice b/c I think being a regular member would be oh so disappointing and agree that currently those members are missing out on too much. Here is how I justify it: yes, we realize Ganz is encouraging more people to spend more money, but if that is what is required to keep this site up and running (and to our demanding standards!) then I am willing to pay that price (and remember–by watching for special offers you can save $$!!) While Ganz is a business out to make money (obviously), they have to be on the pulse of what it takes to do so under all current conditions, trends, etc. So there you have it: yes, Deluxe is worth every penny to me and you even have my rationale to justify it. Good luck to all and see you in WW!! :) ;)
I’m deluxe but I feel bad for the regular accounts especially with the games. I see no reason why so many have to be deluxe to be able to play them. I’m lucky I’m an adult and can afford to splurge and get deluxe. But I was a regular member for years. Sad so many things are changing to deluxe – not only the games but clothing and room items too. I was always just satisfied with the deluxe gift box each month and the monthly estore points and the bonus big item when you join. Let the rest of the things be for everyone.
I just think there should be more options for regular members….I had to save up for my deluxe membership and I personally LOVE it. There is much more to do!
I think membership people are awesome and u should have to have membership to play on webkinz. Or u should only be allowed to play one game in the arcade, and almost nothing else
I am deluxe but i think non-deluxe should get more things
Been on webkinz for five years now and slowly watched it become increasingly selfish!! Can’t stand the use of pop up ads that constantly distract!! And so greedy that everything is so expensive and there’s so little for the non-delux member to do that you are trying to force people to go delux!! Is the fact that many people have more than 20-30-40 pets not enough! Maybe do it that way that as you adopt more pets you get more benefits so that by say 25 pets anyone can be delux! Than maybe one adoption a year to maintain their delux status! Come on Ganz play nice….after all isn’t that what Webkinz is all about? I used to give webkinz as gifts to introduce kids to them but don’t want to any more because it’s turned so greedy! So so annoying when those Rice Crispy ads were on too! I am delux and my friend is not and says the pop up ads are nonstop…so again not fair to the regular members. Play nice!
I completely agree. I have been a member for 7 years now. As time went on, items became cooler but at a cost. I think the loyal members should get special benefits not just the people who pay more money.
OK, so I bought my Deluxe membership thru Webkinz World and not thru E-Store, I don’t get to be an e-store member? I am confused…I thought by being deluxe in webkinz world i would be deluxe at e-store too???
:eyes just a practice again i will learn this some day, cool thanks
