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!

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

    I can’t wait!

    I am utterly disappointed! While the medallions are a great idea and I love the concept–perhaps noting somewhere that this is absolutely impossible to achieve–it will take years to earn enough to medallions to get a “free” pet. I am an adult and I just spent 2 hours playing Atlantiles for absolutely nothing. I am not wasting my time in the arcade. Very sad that Ganz would put this out to encourage children to spend more time on-screen with getting such little rewards.

    This is a great idea but I hate to agree that it is going to be very hard for anyone to ever earn enough medallions to be able to adopt a pet. I hope you guys consider decreasing the amount of medallions needed to adopt a pet a bit.

    I played Goody Gumdrops and got to a distance of about 15,500 but I didn’t get a medallion. Nor have I gained a medallion from the floaty clicky but it makes sense because only have played that game so far. I wish the medallions were a bit easier to get in games, I must agree with the general crowd =/

  6. joysartgarden says:

    Question: Are there going to be more games that we can play to get medallions for people with a paid account and free account? Because Deluxe members have more games to choose from than normal/paid accounts.

    How many do you need? And how come not on mobile ?

  8. webbiecoach says:

    I have been playing all day, multiple games, with scores higher than required for trophies, and NO medallions earned. Many others cannot earn medallions either. I have been a loyal Webkinz player for 10 years, and it is disappointing when a game that is supposed to be fun becomes a chore. :(

      I’m sorry that you have had such bad luck. Maybe there is a glitch in the system–I won two medallions yesterday and two past midnight early this morning. It took me less than an hour to earn them. I mostly played the new game, Goody Gumdrops.

  9. sciencesplat says:

    has anybody actually won a medal from playing a game yet?

  10. ShanTilley says:

    Can medallions be traded in the trading room?
