Introducing a Brand New Way to Adopt Webkinz Pets – for FREE!

Now you can adopt pets for FREE just by playing in Webkinz World! Introducing Pet Medallions!

Pet Medallions!

What are Pet Medallions?

Pet Medallions are a new form of currency in Webkinz World. Each Medallion is pet-specific. When you collect enough of a particular Pet Medallion, you can trade them in to adopt that virtual pet – for FREE! There are also special ‘AnyPet’ Medallions, which act like a wild card and can be used toward any pet.

How do you get Pet Medallions?

You can earn Pet Medallions a couple of ways. Look for the red gift box icon in the Arcade to see which games offer Medallions and when you play one of those games, you have a chance of winning a prize which might be a Medallion! You can win up to 10 prizes per day in the Arcade. And you can earn one ‘AnyPet’ Medallion by trading 10 Pet Medallions of any one pet. Look for more ways to earn Pet Medallions in the future!

June 6 – 12, Look for the Floating Medallion!

Between June 6 and 12 you have even more chances to earn Medallions! You can earn one extra Pet Medallion a day when you see the floating Pet Medallion in Webkinz World and click on it!

Where can you find your Pet Medallions?

Pet Medallions don’t appear in your Dock but it’s easy to see how many you’ve collected. Just open your ‘My Pets’ window and you’ll find a new tab called ‘Medallions’. Medallion pets appear here, along with a meter showing how many Medallions you have collected toward each pet, as well as the total number of Medallions required for each. You can click on each pet for information about its PSI and PSF.

How do you adopt a pet using Medallions?

When you’ve earned enough Medallions to adopt a pet, the meter beneath that pet will change to an ‘Adopt’ button. Just click the button and you will be taken to the Adoption Center and complete the adoption process as you would for any Webkinz pet.

Are Pets adopted using Medallions the same as regular Webkinz Pets?

Just like any Webkinz pet, a Medallion pet comes with its own Pet-Specific Item and Pet-Specific Food, and it behaves like any other pet in Webkinz World. It makes Pet Requests and has Happiness, Hunger, and Energy meters that need to be filled to help increase your Family Score. The only difference is that pets purchased using Medallions do not extend your Full Membership.

Which Pets can you adopt using Pet Medallions?

There are currently twelve pets which can be adopted using Pet Medallions, including two brand new pets that can only be adopted using Medallions! Each pet has a unique Medallion value – the rarer the pet, the more Medallions you’ll need. The pets are:

  • American Golden
  • Blossom Fish
  • Calico Cat
  • Cheeky Monkey
  • Clydesdale
  • Gargowl
  • Signature English Spot Bunny
  • Signature Normande Cow
  • Stone Lion
  • Tigerlily Pup
  • Rainbow Googles NEW!
  • Diamond Dragonfly NEW!

    Very nice. When will we find out how many medallions are required for each pet?

    • 1Emerald1 says:

      Never mind, I zoomed in & can see the amounts now. Goodness, this is going to take awhile. Makes me think of Family Score, it’s very clear that at the rate I’m going, I’ll never make it to the top tier prizes, not if I play for another 20 years! Hopefully, medallion-collecting will go faster. :)

      Hi ~1Emerald1! When they did the update this morning, they changed the “my pets” window. It looks different and they added a medallions tab. You can open that and scroll through to see how many medallions are required for each of the 12 new pets. I hope that it’s not so difficult to get the medallions that we have no hope of reaching the goal for at least one pet. Good luck to you! I hope that you can get the pet that you are wishing for!

    OMG. I love this so much. This is a really cool new feature. Thank you so much Ganz (Webkinz)! :) <3

  3. Mreeha says:

    how many medallions will you get by playing 1 game?

    • Skyeward says:

      You’re awarded a prize if you get a high enough score but it’s not necessarily a medallion. If it is however, a medallion, you’ll only get one. At least, that’s how it worked for me.

  9. 50ishwebbies says:

    THANK YOU for this fun new feature! How often do the specific games played for Medallions change? The games I really enjoy (Gober’s Atomocolicious, etc… ) are not box featured. Would be nice to earn while playing the game I love! Thank you!
