Hi everyone, Steve Webkinz here. In today’s special report, I’m going to take an updated look at all you need to know about Pet Medallions!
If you don’t know anything about our Pet Medallion system for adopting pets, you’ll want to first read our introduction to Pet Medallions here.
There are currently a total of 26 different pets that you can adopt with Pet Medallions.
Not only do different pets require different amounts of medallions to adopt them, but the chance of getting each medallion has different rarities as well. Here’s a look at each pet’s medallion value and rarity:
Out of these 24 pets, 2 of them (the Rainbow Googles and the Diamond Dragonfly) are exclusive to the Pet Medallion system, which means it’s the only way that you can adopt them!
Also exclusive to the Pet Medallion system are the seasonal Snowy Retriever Puppy and the Kiwi Bird, but those medallions can only be collected during special events. We most recently ran a Snowy Retriever Puppy floating medallion event during the 2019 holiday season, and then gave away a special 25 pack of medallions in the 2019 Christmas Gift.
There is also an “Any Pet” Pet Medallion that can be collected and used towards any of the pets. When you get one, it is automatically added to the Any Pet Medallion counter on your Pet Medallions screen. You can then add it to a specific pet by selecting that pet in the Medallions tab and then clicking the Any Pet Medallions transfer button in the top left (orange) area of your screen.
If you’ve collected 10 medallions for a pet, you can also trade them for 1 Any Pet Medallion. Just select that pet and then click on the exchange button on the bottom left (blue) area of your screen.
There are now many more ways to collect Pet Medallions than there were when we first launched this feature.
Arcade games marked with a red gift box can award prizes for a “Great Play” (i.e., a specific score threshold). One of the prizes included in those drops are Pet Medallions. All games in the Webkinz mobile app Arcade can award a prize drop.
The “Great Play” score is different for each game. We can’t tell you what those scores are because there is only a chance that you’ll get a prize drop if you hit it, however we have recently increased the odds of getting a prize drop when getting a “Great Score”.
You can also get a Pet Medallion in your Daily Delivery, so there’s a chance you’ll win one each day that you log into your Webkinz account.
We’ve also added a floating Pet Medallion that you can click on and collect 1 additional medallion per day.
Deluxe Members also get a Deluxe Pet Medallion Gift Box among their monthly prizes. Inside is a random assortment of rare, uncommon and common Pet Medallions, including a chance at getting an Any Pet Medallion!
NEW: If you use your SPREE rolls every day, you may already know that we’ve added a Pet Medallion 5 Pack to the Kinzville Mall! If you have 500 Mall Credits to spend when you get there, you can pick up this pack containing 5 random Pet Medallions!
How is YOUR Pet Medallion collection going? And what would you like me to report on next? Let me know in the comments below!
What is happening with the webkinznewz there is no events, daily food, peek a newz challenge. I miss those activities.
It must be an update hiccup. It’s good that you posted, because now they will know and they can work on it. Hopefully it won’t take too long to fix!
Me too! I was hoping for one more chance at Peek-a-Newz to try to get that elusive forest green chair.
I am having the same problem. Glad it isn’t just my computer!
I am having the same problem – Not fixed yet. Hopefully soon. I wanted one more day.
The addition of the pet medallion package to Spree was a great idea!
Completely Agree With You ZootZoot!
Perfect timing for this to come up. I was trying to remember how to exchange the medallions so I could get my next pet. Will there be a chance to get more Kiwi medallions or should I trade out the ones I have?
More kiwis would be awesome for those who missed it last time. I traded all the leftovers because I figured that it was a one-time thing and I didn’t want the extra medallions just sitting there. It would be a challenge to start over, but I’m game if the Ganz team is!
I’ve been able to adopt 2 Snowy Retrievers, a Kiwi Bird, Panda, and Tree Frog with Pet Medallions! I have enough left over from the Snowy Retriever and Kiwi Bird events to trade for 15 Any Pet Medallions! Thank you, Ganz!
Thanks Steve for this report. I have been super excited about the pet medallions and have been collecting since it started. All the medallions I collect, I trade for the Rainbow Google. I loved the new 5 pack spree prize, I have been getting those every chance I get. After doing all of that, I still only have 164 Rainbow Googles. Can you add the medallions to the Wish Factory.
When you exchange 10 pet medallions how do you choose which pet you are exchanging for?
if you exchange 10 pet medallions from a pet they become an any pet, which you then scroll to the pet you want to deposit the any pet to, select them and then it’ll show the button to put the any pet into their lot
Does anyone know where the events went? When I click on the page nothing pops up. I was hoping to do the peek-a-newz one last time, since today is the last day of the month.
Thanks for this report! I think it explains everything very well. Also thanks for adding the extra ways to collect these things. My girls want the arctic fox so bad! LOL!!
I am so with you on that one! All my Any Pet Medallions are going to that arctic fox. I keep exchanging medallions from pets that I am not as keen on, or ones that I already have, but it’s going sooooo sloooooow! I have adopted a kiwi bird (Ava), and have enough for a tree frog, and three snowy retriever puppies, but I can’t decide on names. LOL! Thanks for the report Steve Webkinz!
Gosh I love the googles, and the new one is super cute. I like the eyelash addition.
Great Newz. I wasn’t aware the games specifically with the red gift box awarding medallions for Great Play. I will have another look for those.
