Mayor of Kinzville
I’d like to give a big thank you to those of you on the Webkinz team who are working on this problem. I’m sure that you’ve had a lot of issues with the site since Webkinz X, and I just want you to know that I am grateful for everything that you’ve been able to do. Your work is very much appreciated!!!!
I would love to become a Deluxe member but it’s never going to happen until you can offer alternative payment methods. I got rid of my credit cards a few years back and will not EVER get another. On another note, I’m looking forward to the Leprechaun Chase – that Lucky Go Kart is a must-have! :)
They are available on Amazon, as well. I believe Amazon has a few more options for payment.
did you think about picking up one of those visa cash cards at the grocery or gas store to use for webkinz?
Those won’t work in Ganz eStore
just a thought
I have used them, Sally. As long as they are registered with a name and address they work.
Great! Our system isn’t officially set up for them, but if it works for you, then that’s wonderful. We can’t guarantee that they’ll work for everyone, though, so the official stance is that we can’t take them.
Noooooooo! Not the plasma ball! Could there someday be more of those, like green, blue, and purple?
My pets are disappearing one by one!!! Help!! I love my pets and they are just GONE.
HELP!!! Sally, I am missing half my pets, they just are gone! What happened? How do I fix this?
My pets are disappearing, too!! Are you ever going to get everything fixed?
Sally, I have pets missing today, too. I’m not playing with more than the 2 pets I can see today. OH ! I don’t like the new clothing button. GRAMKINS
I adopted two new pets today, but did not get any exclusive items! Did I do something wrong? Looking forward to The Leprechaun Chase!!!!

Hey Webkinz.. Um… There’s something wrong with my pets. I have a cafe room and I noticed one of my pets (a lil Kinz gray and white cat named Crystal) disappeared. I clicked on her portrait under ‘my pets’ abd she appeared in my room, but my other pet (a lil Kinz black and white cat named Joy) disappeared. I clicked on Joy’s portrait but then Crystal disappeared again. Just wondering, is this a bug? And if so, will it be fixed anytime soon? Just wondering. Thanks ~Taffy
*I meant to say ‘and”, not ‘abd’. Sorry!
Can you concentrate on making it so that Webkinz doesn’t crash all the time?
