This Saturday in Webkinz World is “Deluxe Day”, where Deluxe Members can log in for a special prize and stay for a day full of Deluxe events!
To celebrate the launch of this monthly event, we are offering a very special item: The Racing Helmet, which was the first-ever Deluxe Gift from April 2009!
To claim this prize, all Deluxe Members will have to do is log in on Saturday, go to Today’s Announcements and click on the button next to the prize! Once there, they will also notice a day filled with activities especially for Deluxe Members!
Not a Deluxe Member yet? There’s still time to get in on this and the many other great bonuses of Deluxe Membership by visiting the Ganz eStore!
Thanks for doing more special things for deluxe members! It makes the membership even more worth the price!! But I have to agree with pingpongkitties … take the tiny amounts of kc, wshop items and the food out of the deluxe prize machine. I don’t think it’s the best incentive to get the other member to go deluxe! LOL
I agree with people here. I am also embarrassed sometimes to think someone is getting a tiny gift in my name. And I thought we were going to get something extra special for logging in on deluxe day and not something that long-time deluxe members already have. Also I am tired of getting promo items in my deluxe box. I don’t want another floppy red hat: I want a rare or an estore item.
At least you get your deluxe box. I’ve been deluxe since June of 2013. I have not received any of my monthly deluxe boxes. Several messages sent about this problem have been ignored. I’d be happy just to get what I’m paying for. Just saying.
Have you called the estore about your problem? That is the way to get your problem fixed.
I agree somewhat with marys5670 about promoting more deluxe and I too am a Deluxe member and find that the challenges are getting more and more expensive to play. I can’t do all of the games that are in the challenges no matter how much I try them, so if I want to win the prize for certain challenges, I have to pay to win them. That does not seem very fair to all members , deluxe or not. Some of the prizes are really not worth the trouble of doing the challenges nor spending extra money on them. Maybe Ganz should rethink some of these challenges. I find they take up too much of my time and since I only can play for certain amount of time as I’m sure others have limited times as well, these challenges take away time that could be spent playing and doing other things. Just a thought Ganz.
You can always just ignore the challenge.
It would be nice to get the challenge off my screen. It gets in the way sometimes. Besides, i just don’t enjoy the challenges. Why do I have to constantly look at them?
I love some of the challenges. Like you said, winkinbear, just don’t do the ones you don’t want to. I LOVED the oak tree challenge last fall, I think it was one of the best!!!! I love ones that include windows and outdoor items! Ganz, I think you are doing an awesome job of including something 4 everybody’s taste! THANK YOU, GANZ!
this is a really nice gesture, thank you – i agree with those who think it would be extremely nice to have days that are deluxe for all players – this could be a really great treat for everyone, however i don’t see a need for you to do this unless you are willing to change the prizes and keep them updated – imo, the prizes you have given over the last several months have made ‘deluxe’ seem laughable – please make this change a good, positive, and productive change for us all……
Is this a every Saturday thing or just this Saturday?
I believe its just this Saturday………
Hey, Kittygirls13–it’s going to be a monthly thing “Monthly Deluxe Days Starting This Saturday.” This will be the first one.
thanks
Sweet! I am a deluxe member so this is awesome! Add me my username is kittygirls13
ok I will.. add me: kitruthiedolly3
I’m gonna become deluxe in 1 or 2 days so I hope I can get that done before Saturday.
cant wait,sounds like fun.
why don’t you have a “regular” member day also? I know Ganz likes to promote Deluxe…but it’s getting to the point of making regular members feel like crap. By the way…I am a Deluxe member. I just think you should treat regular members better…
A regular day would be great. Considering we still pay money for there products. Also careful with words, considering they have rules. Just to let you know (:
also my username is sheebeem and I will accept all friend requests
hey i will send you a friend request my username is karst9
Ok new friend
I agree also, I’m not a deluxe member (never have been, since I started) and I think that will be great idea maybe if they do that, “regular member” can buy Deluxe items, play Games or go to Vacation Island? Now that will be fun! And I fell so sorry for those who have the Racing Helmet the value is going to go very down from 50,000-62,000 to 3,000-5,000.
I am also a deluxe member and I agree.
yeah, its like segregation of deluxe members and non deluxe members!
Thankyou, marys5670! There’s just such a push for deluxe. I think this “day” is as much (or more) for regular members as it is for deluxe members. I think Ganz wants to have regular members see what they’re missing – kind of like how they incorporated the W Shop and EStore. It’s the same principle.
deluxe members are not treated better , we just pay for more to do or buy
I think it would be well-received (and terrific advertisement) to have one day a week where non-Deluxe can enjoy full Deluxe benefits.
I like that idea! In fact when I first saw this article, I thought that was what it was going to be (Deluxe day for non-deluxe). I was really excited for a second.
one day a month maybe or a year … ~scrrable~
That would be awesome! im saving up my KC just in case . . .
I was really excited for a second, too. I suggested to Ganz some time ago that they have one day a year, even, for non-Deluxe members to see what it’s like to experience Deluxe. Sigh. . . . . I thought there might be people who don’t want to sign up for a whole year or even three months to find out it isn’t what they expected.
You are certainly right.
I agree. I don’t know if any of you saw my post about it, but I suggested to GANZ that every now and then(Maybe once a month) Regular members can buy deluxe things from the stores.(And maybe play the games.) I know Ganz doesn’t want regular members to be able to get everything deluxe membbers get, so I was thinking for the W-shop, maybe have a certain (Deluxe) room theme regular members could purchase from. Or for the Kinzstyle outlet, maybe you can only purchase 3 items of clothing each time. I think that would be fair. I like all of your ideas. ~*JaneOfAllTrades*~
But if there were a deluxe day once a week for all members, what would be the point of paying for a membership at all if others would get it free? Deluxe members are paying to get the extras.
ikr? I thought of that and sent in my idea to Ganz…
I would love that! Please consider this idea, Ganz! I know that everyone would appreciate it. Deluxe memberships is so amazing; everybody should get a chance to enjoy it, even if it’s only for one day a month.
I think on Webkinz Day every year, Ganz should make at least some deluxe benefits non-deluxe. It would also help them sell more deluxe memberships because once people get a taste of deluxe, they will probably want to get a membership so they can get those benefits for more than one day
Sorry, but unless you increase the odds of receiving a valuable item (such as the golden gown in the prize machine and the balloon on the wheel), then this just doesn’t seem exciting to me. Can’t tell you how many times I have played those games (what you call bonuses) only to receive small amounts of kc, old clothing items, and worst of all – food! I’ve never gotten that beautiful golden gown from the machine, and what I do get is usually an embarrassment to send to some other random player. If I were guaranteed a gown for Deluxe Day, then I might get excited. Thanks for reading.
It’s funny how people are so negative. I’ve actually won the gown, and the prize machine works in a specific way; you get a prize from someone and you send that same prize to another deluxe member. Just keep your hopes up; you’ll get one sooner or later. -ros-
gee, that didn’t sound nice
A bit of a correction: you (the deluxe member) wins a prize (mostly small kinzcash and wshop items (which are not to be envied since the kc is easily earned and we can buy the wshop items) and food is not a prize anywhere unless we can decorate with it.. and the same prize is also given to a random regular member, not another deluxe member. I have 10 deluxe accounts and have won the dress twice. One I gave to a friend since she didn’t have one and I just won a second one recently. The odds to win one as they are is not very good. Adding more perks for deluxe members is great just not by taking things away from the regular members.. games, vacations, etc. Deluxe members could have no ads in WW, the free vacations were fine without taking them away from regular members, etc… :-)
I am happy to weigh in on this topic as I have my own frustrations with the Deluxe Prize Machine (DPM)…Also to clarify that food IS valuable to some people if they collect it and it is new…That being said, I have not even been able to win any of the “new food” items from the DPM, nor have I been able to find anyone in the trading room who has any to trade. WHY Ganz, do you make it so difficult to win the new prizes? Just asking…as for the gown, I have won it a couple of times, but it has been around for a long time, right? Winning ANY of the new prizes from the DPM is exceedingly difficult and because the chance to use the DPM is infrequent, our odds are even worse. Btw, I cannot imagine paying for 10 Deluxe accounts…well good luck everyone–here’s to better odds!! ;)
I very, very, very rarely win ANY good prizes on anything. Like others have said, I get food, WShop items, and old kinzstyle outlet clothing. It’s not just with the Deluxe prize machine, but with just about EVERYTHING. At least on token balloon darts I do win wish tokens most of the time. I agree that good prizes should be given more often, and most DEFFINATELY that things should NOT be taken from free members and given to deluxe. That is just MEAN. I do think deluxe members not having to have adds popping up everywhere is a great idea, though. Please, GANZ, can’t you be more nice and fair with deluxe vs. free member stuff and with games? I admit I am a deluxe member, but I have always hated unfairness and seeing things like this. Please fix it so EVERYONE can have fun! Thanks!
I saw ur post on the design ur own dog contest and I totally agree . cats are WAY better than dogs.
dogs are WAY WAY WAY better than cats
In my opinion, cats are WAY better than dogs(less messier and cuter, but that’s my opinion).
Lol…As one of my law professors reminded us daily in Remedies class, you are entitled to your ONE vote. And just for the record, cats bathe themselves, don’t pee on your rug, and don’t smell bad…and oh yes, they purr–pure therapy for the lucky human counterpart (can a dog do that? I think not). They can even sometimes “think” they’re a dog, giving affectionate licks and playing catch like one of mine. Ok, so yes I am a cat over dog person, but recall–I do get my one vote ;) There is no correct answer to this debate, btw :)
agreed
You know, the way you are talking, it seems like you don’t like being Deluxe Members. I am, but I’m not happy that Ganz is making half the games Deluxe! :(
yeah
as for me i dont mind old clothing and food if u dont like ur items i wouldnt mind having them. and i think i agree with dome of the others aabout there being a deluxe day fo regular members even if its only every month or two.
Thanks for the reply teamgymnast12. I think we can help each other out then. I really need to clear out my dock and would love to send you some stuff. I will try to friend you at teamgymnast12 and/or you can friend me at pingpongkitties.
I AGREE!!!
I agree that you need to just keep playing. I’ve been a delux member for years now and though i don’t agree about limiting games for non delux members, i do like and appreciate being able to do extra jobs and games.. I love vacation island too.. Good luck
pingpongkitties is right! Iwas so excited to do a bunch of deluxe stuff for 6 months, but the todays activities really made it BORING! Thanks a lot ganz!!!!!!
i got the gown in a trade, its probably the best item from the machine i got
Ha, ha, totally agree………….. And with some of the games a lucky non deluxe member gets the same prize as me anyway. As if most of these “prizes” such a chocolate pop, or an exciting 64 kinzcash would entice anyone to become a deluxe member anyway. I am not trying to be negative, however, I think that this is a wonderful point that I want to look into further. :)
What does the gown look like? I LOVE dresses! I’ve only started playing this game since late february, but I did just get my 5th pet, a grey squirrel! I might get a deluxe membership, It’s not too expensive. What is considered rare? I have a lot of questions… Does anyone have answers for me?
OWE! and also, does anyone know where I can get a list of gowns? Because I have a lot and no one seems to have a different one…. CAN ANYONE SEND MY THE PINK SHOES FROM SPREE??? (If you’re ok with that and its extra…) I have the dress but no one will trade the shoes. Owe, and my username is the same as the one up there ^^^^^^ lauraovertime
And will anyone be my friend? I have an enchanted party pack I want to use… but i don’t have many friends…
i will be your friend i am ang318 so you know
WOW!!! THANK YOU!!! I just need 1 more friend and then I can have the party!!! YAY!!! THANKS FOR BEING MY FRIEND!!! (I’ve probably made too many comments!
I will definitely friend you. The trick to getting friends is to play 2 player games in the tournament arena because as soon as you’re done, there’s a little button that says “add to friends list”. Most times, people accept the friend request. I had very little friends too until I figured this out! I’ll add you!
Hi, I’ll be your friend if you want, my account names are amethistle and Otterwitch. The golden gown looks like the Webkinz gown or the fancy blue ball gown you can make in the clothing machine, only it’s all gold.
Lauraovertime, I have some shoes from spree. I will send them to you if you want. My username is pianogigirl. I’ll send you a friend request.
Have you tried webkinzinsider.com? They have huge lists of stuff, although sometimes they take forever to update or miss stuff. Still, it’s the best place I’ve found. They should do item picture galleries on WebkinzNewz!
I am with you on that! I don’t seem to get the “better” prizes and it is a total let down!
It is what it is, this is a kids game… the prices are sometimes not what you want but you can sell them at the w- shop…. I get things that can’t even put in a room…. like the ant house from the wishes…. so I sold it back… got over 2 hundred kinzbucks which could be used for what ever you want…. Any way… there are lots of things one has that can be sold back, it is the non sold items that sit in the dock forever…. can’t be used anywhere….
i am NOT going on webkinz on the 22 it is not cool
I agree with almost everyone who posted. I always get a “dElUxe” slushy or something and its all food. I mean I got the star hat and disco jacket one time but I’m banking on the dress. My username on WKZ is Ecb1125
I have gotten the golden gown about five times!
Can I trade for one? I’ve been deluxe for a long time 4 or 5 years and didn’t know you could win a gown or a disco jacket. Friend me at catladyinpajamas if you want to trade then we can meet up in the trading room. I’ve won only the small food treats and a hat and a little money. Putting a deluxe wrapper on a caramel is trying to make it look special when a caramel is just a very small piece of candy, deluxe would be a bag full of caramels or a crate full
Same here, I always win food or the KinzCash prize. I didn’t even know there was gown available in the Prize Machine! I have been deluxe at least since 2009, because I have the helmet in the pic already.
This is awesome, to have a Deluxe Day every month. As a paying Deluxe member I will look forward to this monthly event. About time we get what we pay extra for.
A shout-out to a very special member who sent me the lovely gown, hat and shoes – your generosity means more than I can say! I just want you to know how much I appreciate it! And thanks everyone for the replies – it has been fun to see all the different points of views. So a thanks to Webkinz World also for this forum where we can express our opinions, learn so much about this hobby of ours and especially meet new friends. Webkinz World really is awesome!
I agree. Just like wishing well 2? Never get 3 wells for a Super prize? Same old thing? Come on Webkinz you can do better?
I’ve been a Webkinz member since 2008 and I hit 3 wells for the Superprize for the first time this year. So you’re right – the odds are not good at all. By the way, has anyone ever guessed the number of jellybeans? Ever?
