Another Deluxe Day is coming on Wednesday, February 17th! Once again, Deluxe Members will be able to log in and visit the Today’s Activities in order to receive a special prize: some Romantic Perfume! Also on the Today’s Activity schedule, there will be an entire day of fun and activities for Deluxe Members to enjoy!
If you’d like to join in on the fun and prizes, have a parent visit the Ganz eStore to upgrade your account!
I have a question. Why isn’t a bank debit card accepted as an acceptable payment for deluxe membership? When I tried to purchase a deluxe membership for my account, it wouldn’t accept it ( Yes, I did type in all the correct information.) even though it does have the Master Card symbol on it, and the debit card works like a credit card only better because the money is in the account ready to be drawn by the company the purchase is being made from. This is a mystery to me because I can make other on line purchases using my bank debit card. I really would appreciate an answer to this question since this is what is standing in my way of becoming a deluxe member. I do not want another credit card as I have paid off all credit card debts and do not wish to go into debt again with one. ♪♫LadyBeauty♪♫
Ganz eStore doesn’t have the ability to process these cards or the “gift card” varieties of credit cards, unfortunately.
I purchased a bunch of plush webkinz last year with my debit card and it worked, but now it won’t let me buy anything. :( So it has to be credit card? I have a Visa card.
I’ve been asking Ganz this same questions for years now. I believe the reason is that debit and prepaid credit cards cannot be subject to automatic renewal upon expiration of the deluxe term. I teach in a lower bracket socio-economic area, where many of my parents would be all too happy to purchase deluxe and online virtual items, but are simply unable to do so because they do not possess credit cards and Ganz refuses to accept these other means of wholly (and yes, guaranteed) legal tender. Again, I strongly urge Ganz to reconsider this practice, because (and this based on consistent and first hand experience), you are alienating a *lot* of potential (and repeat) consumers who will only purchase items when they know they have the means to pay for them and thus restricting a valuable revenue stream. In the absence of access, they instead purchase from companies that will accept their money (and respect their financial limitations). I’m certain it would benefit Ganz’s profit margins greatly to remedy this issue. But I’ve been asking for years, so…. your call, guys. Please *DO* post this, because I’d like to see what other parents have to say on the matter.
Hello LadyBeauty. I just thought that you might be interested in checking out a PrePaid Credit Card. It is different then a Gift Card. It is a credit card, but you can only spend what money you put on the card, hence the name PrePaid. This is how my friend buys her deluxe membership.
That’s what we use for online purchases too because my husband refuses to put his credit card online or pay bills over the internet (he’s a bit old school). It worked fine for buying deluxe memberships.
That’s strange. I purchase my Deluxe membership with my bank’s VISA debit card every year. I have also used a VISA gift card and a Master Card gift card to purchase e-store items. I’ve never had a problem with any of these forms of payment. Maybe my bank treats debit card purchases differently. I don’t know. Using gift cards has not been a problem either. I’m in the USA in case that makes a difference. Just letting you, LadyBeauty, know.
me too!
Have you thought of PayPal?
They don’t accept PayPal either. I don’t have any credit cards but I do have a PayPal account that is connected to my bank account so it automatically comes out of my bank account. In my opinion this is better than a credit card because you get paid immediately, no billing and waiting for your money.
I love this! its so cute!
Enjoy (: it’s cute!
I really wish I was deluxe. I would buy a membership, but I’m more willing to spend money on makeup, perfume, clothes, etc…….
Another teeny tiny gift.
Aw, don’t be ungrateful, alohaem! Webkinz has done SO much for us!
What FennecFox said! I do agree that the Deluxe day gifts are a taaaad bit small, but with everything they’ve been doing, I’m always willing to overlook a prize I’m not particularly fond of! :D
Me too, the prizes are awesome and I don’t think it’s wrong for deluxe members to get a monthly Deluxe gift…actually they are Deluxe so there oughtn’t to be any problem. Ganz has done such amazing things for us and honestly we all got great Valentine’s Day items from the community codes so…I’m pretty pleased and grateful. :))
Yeah – it’s cute and will look nice on one of my dressers. Thanks, Ganz.
Thanks, Ganz. That’ll look cool on my dresser in my pink room.
I don’t think they were being ungrateful. Not everyone is always going to be happy with everything, and that’s just a matter of opinion. I think this prize it chute, but I also understand where alohaem is coming from. It’s a small gift in comparison to what Ganz has given before, especially considering that deluxe memberships are not cheap. I’m not a deluxe member, but I think that alohaem, as a customer, has every right to voice that perhaps he/she isn’t quite satisfied (:
*cute not chute xD
Yes! :) well, i’m just happy because webkinz is so awesome! so… *dancing*
very true! :D webkinz is awesome!
Very True…Webkinz was, is and will be AWESOME!!! :D :D :D
Yep! YAHOO!
I also wanted to know how big it is in the room. It’s small and will be hard to see but Thank You Ganz!!!
It’s small but it packs a punch!!! A punch of perfume to be exact!!! Think about it, there are so many things for Deluxe members and regular members every month including challenges with special prizes. A small Deluxe gift, but everything adds up to a giant gift!!! Webkinz is a gift!!! ;)
I really do appreciate everything that Ganz has done for us, but I’m also very disappointed in this monthly gift, as I was last month and December. I spent real money for my deluxe membership, expe ting cool gifts each month. If this keeps up, idk if I’ll renew. Not getting too much for the money. Sigh.
I love it, because I collect perfume in real life. There aren’t very many options in WW for perfume containers/bottles so I’m happy with it. I love decorating table tops and counters with small items and I always welcome more options.
Never mind. I see you have now changed the date to the 17th. Thanks.
Cool! Another deluxe day is coming soon! :)
Yep! Congrats, deluxe members!
Very Cute! Can’t wait! :)
Aww, this is cute! :) Hey guys, sorry I haven’t been commenting a ton lately, I’ve been busy with homework… I hope you still remember me! *breaks into a phantom of the opera parody* “THINK OF ME, THINK OF ME FONDLY, WHEN I’M NOT COMMENTING…….” Lol, sorry, when someone says something that reminds me of a song, I have to sing it. :P Anyway, thanks again, this gift will go nicely in one of my pet’s rooms I’m sure!
Hey WingsOfFire! Good to see you back! :D I still remember you (and I hope you don’t mind, but whenever I think of you, I think of the Headwig thing XD I still haven’t got over that. No joke. I’m still laughing about it right now) And it’s okay. I’ve had a lot of work lately, too. But I still can’t help commenting almost every day. ;) And yeah, this is a really cool deluxe day gift! :D I can’t wait to get it!
Hey, WingsOfFreedom! Don’t worry, i’ll never forget you! xD
Hey WingsOfFreedom!!!! I know the feeling with saying things that remind me of songs and then I sing. Happens ALL the time!!! I have SO MUCH homework too!!!! It’s hard to juggle after school activities, eating, homework and Webkinz!!!! Somehow, I make it work!!! It’s great to see you again!!!!!
welcome back wingoffreedom!
I’ve missed you! You’re one of those people that cheer me up when I have a bad day. It seems like every time I read one of your comments I laugh! I think that I said that before, but I really mean it! You’re like, totes amaze! XD
Awww, thanks! XD Lol, TaffyKitty! I still think of that conversation randomly! (Fiower) That’s one of my favorite ones I’ve had on here! Thanks, Fennec and whataawesomekitty! And chattyb, that’s really nice of you, that means a lot to me. I love making people laugh! :-) Oh and thank you all for (1) making me feel so welcome when I first started commenting, and (2) helping me complete me valentine collection! I’m starting it again! :) Also, I had this great idea for webkinz; you heard of comic-con? Well, I think that webkinz should do something called kinz-con, where you bring one of your favorite webkinz to this convention and get to do all sorts of games and activities and crafts with them and fellow webkinz members, and one of the webkinz workers can host it and tell a little bit about how some of the things work. They could sell kinz-con merchandise and make a special webkinz just for this event! What do you think, is it a good idea? It might make webkinz more popular again… I don’t think they’ll actually do this, but it’d be so cool if they did! It could be something they do every summer!
Your welcome! And haha, yeah, I think that’s one of my favorite conversations that we had on here, too! And by the way, that is an awesome idea!!! :D A Kinz con would be seriously amazing! It reminds a little bit of the Ganz road trip they used to do a few years ago (unfortunately, I never got to go to one of their stops :/ Whenever they came to my state, it always seemed like I was either busy that day or it was a town that was too far from where I lived *sigh*) But anyhow, that really does sound like an awesome idea! I would totally go to it as long as it was somewhere that wasn’t too far to get to. But OMG, that would be soooo cool! I hope webkinz maybe tales this idea into consideration :D
That’s a really great idea WingsOfFreedom!!! This could be such a perfect event for every summer, something like Summer Fest with plush pets but even better, sounds like a lot of fun!! And it’s totally something new and so cool, you’ve made me really excited!!! :D :)) And sorry if I’m late, welcome back WingsOfFreedom, you really made me laugh so many times, how could I forgot you?! :D :D :D
Thanks! Yeah the road trips always sounded like fun but I never got to do them. I just think it’d be a really fun and cool idea to bring the community closer together (not like that’s a problem though) and also it might make webkinz more popular again! The only problem is location. It needs to be somewhere where everyone could go to, but I’m not sure where that could be… any ideas?
That’s a great idea, WingsOfFreedom! Love it! Oh, and, did you friend me on Webkinz? I think that it was you, but are you Chocolate-something something?
You’re welcome! I think it really would be an awesome idea! :D And it would be awesome also for the reasons, like you said, of webkinz potentially becoming more popular (and how can that not be a good thing? I’d love it if more people were able to experience webkinz!) and bringing the webkinz community together would be awesome as well! Now, as for the location, that is kinda tricky….. A lot of us probably live in totally different parts of the country. My idea is to maybe do it in a city… But perhaps do maybe two or three different cities in different areas of the country during the summer. Maybe one on the east coast, one on the west coast, and maybe one in the Midwest. Or perhaps the location could be a city that many people visit during the summer. I still don’t know, though. There’s probably a lot of players who live in Canada as well… Er… That’s one thing that might take a while to figure out if this were to happen, but I’m sure we could all come up with a solution! ;D
WingsOfFreedom, that is a good idea! :D Oh, no problem! Hey, what is you username on Webkinz World? ;) I would love to help you with your collection.
Thanks WebkinzLover2015, I’m really excited too, even though it most likely won’t happen… But who knows? :) chattyb, I’m already friends with you, and my user doesn’t have chocolate in it. And Fennec, I’m friends with you, too. My user starts with Princess, (sorry, I don’t really like giving it out online). :) doingmydaylies, yeah, it’s sometimes like I’ve turned my life into a musical! XDAnyway yeah, it is super hard to juggle it all sometimes! Oh, and TaffyKitty, location will be hard to figure out… I’m thinking that it will have to be done in more than one location, but it’d be so cool if it could be done in just one! But yeah, who wouldn’t want webkinz to be more popular? :)
Yeah, that would be tough. It’s hard to choose just one location since, well, there’s Webkinz fans all over the country and I bet it would be a little tough to choose a place that most will easily be able to get to. And more than one location would be awesome, but it might be tougher to do since they’ll have to move everything from the previous Kinz con to the next place. It isn’t a easy task. I do have a place in mind that I personally think would be a great place to do it, plus it’s not like it’s super, super far from where I live, (it’s still eight hours when on the highway, though), and I think it would be great place since it’ll have basically everything a Kinz con would need. However, I’m not sure if most people would be able to make it there :/ Buy anywho, it still is a great idea and I hope webkinz one day take us into consideration. Of course it’ll take a while since everything would have to be pre planned and stuff, but still, it would be pretty cool! Plus, I’d personally love it if webkinz became more popular because of it! I’d love to see others experience the joy that webkinz has given me throughout these past 8 1/2 years that I have played! :)
Thanks
Interesting… Well, enjoy your gift, Deluxies!
Nice prize, very pink and cute!… :)) :D :))
Yep! Enjoy your gift, deluxe members! ;)
Yup, enjoy your gift Deluxies!!! :D
Cool!
Yep! Deluxe member, enjoy your prize! :D
Wait… Taffy, are you deluxe? :D
Yeah, I’m deluxe on one of my accounts ;) Luckliy I convinced my parents to get it for me three years ago. I still miss the days where almost everyone had access to everything without buying a membership…. though…
yeah me too. SO many virtual pets are deluxe now! *sigh* :)
Yeah, it’s a real downside :( I know I’m able to get those pets, but I wish everyone else was able to, too. I wish I was able to send pet codes for deluxe only pets through kinzpost to my friends. That would be awesome! Unfortunately, I’m not sure if that’ll ever happen :/
Yeah…I really wish I could get the Pixie Fox or the Sweetheart Fox right now but *sighs* oh well that it’s Estore points….
Aw, thanks, taffy! :D I wish we could send you codes too…. :)
RosyFox the Pixie is gone. =( I checked bevasue I almost had enough for it and really wanted to get it but it’s too late now.
