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!
I hope I win that helmet, it’s cool. Thanks Ganz.
AWESOME!!!!! I will so be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you all are deluxe!!! :D
Yeah! This will be my first Deluxe Day. I can’t wait.
I had the Golden Ballroom Gown, however, I didn’t know it was rare\exclusive, (as Deluxe Members think) so I traded it. now…. I know. thanks Ganz for this Deluxe Day. by the way, my birthday is two days farther that that!
I think Ganz is trying to add value to Deluxe members, which is a great thing, because we do pay good money to be Deluxe members. However, after reading all of the comments and thinking on it, there is something important that needs to be considered – Webkinz is such a great site that young children and adults can enjoy it alike, but the youngest members do not have the ability to choose to sign up for Deluxe membership even if they really, really want to and wish they could. I feel badly for the little children who see everything that everyone else gets but they can’t have. Their parents may be poor or have no credit card to use. Maybe they simply will not allow them. But I guarantee if asked, each of these little children would cry “Yes” if they had Deluxe available to them. Those that can’t join probably do feel very sad seeing all the special things they can’t get. The problem, though, is that Deluxe does need to have value-adds, otherwise, what would the point be? I don’t know what the solution is; the age range of the players creates a special problem for Ganz. The only idea I can think of is that all players are allowed access to all items, special wheels, vacation island, magical forest, etc., but regular users only get to do so once a day and Deluxers can be given the privelege of using the areas or wheels upwards of 5 times or more per day. Then all the little ones can do everything everyone else gets to. Just an idea… I’m not sure if others would think this is a good idea or not.
Wow, that’s a GREAT idea!
Thanks!! I do have a soft spot for children :)
I loved reading this and loved your idea. You’ve obviously put a lot of thought into this and hope Ganz can create a way to bridge the gap between deluxe and regular that would seem more fair. As for me, I don’t need or want to have access to things that were once available to everyone just because I am deluxe – I just think that creates unnecessary negativity all around. I would be happy with a few extras and better odds at winning nice items that are considered bonuses to a deluxe account. Thanks for reading.
wow this i great but know what would make it better if people that are not deluxe members get to do all those activities and be a deluxe member for 1 day
I think Ganz will eventually get their wish that all members are Deluxe. But I think it’s because a lot of non-Deluxe members will leave, not because everyone rushes to sign up for Deluxe accounts. Sad, really. I used to enjoy WW a lot more, before a lot of stuff was taken away. We even have coupons for free spins on the Vacation Wheel and can’t use them anymore. I could see letting Deluxe members have free Vacation Island access, we used to have to pay 500 KC for a ticket. I’d be okay with that. It just feels like non-Deluxe members (who buy pets for the privilege of playing online) don’t matter anymore.
I agree. I don’t think they do, either. Regular members who buy pets are often referred to by other members as “free members”, which they aren’t. Not a great deal of respect, it seems.
I really don’t like items you can’t trade/sell!!
Also how do you get rid of eager beaver hard hats?!?!
I know my eager beaver clothing clutters up my dock too.
How do you get rid of piggy plum pie posters?
You can’t sell them, I know that. My suggestion (again) is that Ganz would open up a “Thrift Store” in Webkinz World that people can DONATE items to, just like in life. Those items would then be offered at discounted prices to all members. People could get rid of stuff they don’t want or need, and others could benefit. What a win/win. I have so much stuff that can’t be sold I would be more than willing to give it away just to get it out of my dock.
I think this “Deluxe Day” thing actually sounds kinda fun, but that’s mostly because of the games, you see I like most daily activities like “gem hunting” or “the wheel of wow”. I’m not very fond of the whole Deluxe Member idea though. What if someone can’t have a membership? Then they must be sad. Also I don’t think the prizes are as great as GANZ makes them out to be. Ex: Helmet, what do you use a helmet for?!, Crazy recipe foods, 20 kinzcash (as if it’s all that much), etc. I wish they would give out prizes you can use! P.S. E-store items are WAY overpriced and I really don’t like items you can’t sell!! Also a question for GANZ. How do you get rid of eager beaver hard hats?!?!
