Webkinz Reviews



.... June 20th, 2015


Webkinz is a gimmick. The toys are okay, but the website itself is slow, boring, and they charge you for everything and anything you do. Do not even bother with "webkinz." I bought a few webkinz, and I am unsatisfied.


.... July 20th, 2014


I am very upset I have been extremely loyal to webkinz since 2008 spending every drop of my money on them! Half the codes didn't work! And now your getting rid of signatures! And the adds really! One last thing the preices are outrageous I was looking for a webkinz timber wolf for months the only one I could find was 400! Dollars! What a ripoff

i HATE I MEAN HATE webkinz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why dose everything have to be delux? i haven't gotten on in like a year because of it! And i would like a membership but it is to expensive!!!!!!! so please make it less expensive then i would play more and become a member. or at least don't make everything delux!

The Deluxe Membership is a terrible idea. By having so many games listed in the arcade for deluxe members only, it teaches our children that excluding others based on their financial status is ok. I tried to explain that we wouldn't purchase this deluxe membership just on principle, whether we could afford it or not, but it is a tough concept for a child. Why doesn't Ganz just set up a separate arcade for their "deluxe" members - because they want our children to see it every day and ask us to become deluxe! I stopped giving Webkinz Pets as gifts once they introduced this new class of membership.

Webkinz is a great virtual world filled with excitement for children, though it is upsetting for Webkinz lovers to see that many of the features that were once open to members are no longer available unless you become a "Deluxe" member. It is also disappointing that when you're not a member at all, it tells you to become one, and if you do, you will get all of the features a regular Webkinz member gets. This is not true since you do not get absolutely ALL of the features. Your average member will be able to visit many places in Webkinz World, such as the Curio Shop and the KinzStyle Outlet. However, even after purchasing at least one Webkin with a code, you still do not get those features. Is there a number of pets you must have to be able to have all of those features? Overall, "Webkinz World" is becoming very disappointing for many.

I am happy to see others are fed up with webkinz going deluxe for all the things that use to require just buying the code. Well no more for us. Between the kids they have 9 accounts, with at least, 11 per account. They see something or a game and then they can't play or get it because who can afford to go deluxe. Greedy greedy company because now buying a new code once a year isn't enough.

Have been contacing support about a stuck car in between the rooms for 5 years now and they still haven't taken care of it.

Rip-off!

These toys were sold at a store I worked at and they were SO expensive. People would come in and steal the codes out of them to use online. They ARE cute, but I can't imagine spending $20 on a tiny stuffed animal.


.... January 8th, 2013


Webkinz took away arcade games from members by making them "Deluxe." In other words: YOU HAVE TO PAY TO PLAY! Didn't we already pay, when we bought a Webkinz plush? And isn't that taking away something from an already existing account? How are they getting away with this? I have bought A LOT of Webkinz in the past, and that is where this is ending, I guess-- in the past. Very greedy, insensitive decision on the part of Ganz. I am VERY DISAPPOINTED!


.... January 5th, 2013


I am very mad about the wackyER freezing at the end of level 6, I have read comments from other people all having the exact same issue. those posts were from 3 years ago saying it would be fixed and it still isnt.... !!! I have worked very hard on getting to the level and then i have to just exit out of the game! it really frustrates me!!!!!!!!!


.... December 22nd, 2012


My children just bought more webkinz pets. They went online to play their favorite games and found they were locked out because of the deluxe requirement. My son said if that continues, he won't buy anymore webkinz pets! We are all very disappointed in webkinz' decision to put the favorite games into a pay more to play mode.


.... December 19th, 2012


Webkinz is a scam and no one should support their website. I have dozens of webkins and addons that I bought for my child only to be locked out of the games he has played for years right before Christmas. A ploy to force participants to pay double/triple to access items previously incouded in the membership cost. I will not purchase any additional items and we will move to other child/family frendly sites that do not change the format constantly in order to acquire as much money as they can from you. I'd like to participate in a lawsuit as well regarding bait and switch tactics the company is performing.


.... December 18th, 2012


They are doing themselves a disservice by changing games members could play to deluxe only. Many people including my family will discontinue to buy their products. We will never upgrade our account for $44.00 and will no longer buy their stuffed animals if this is the way they treat the members who buy their toys. Would rather let our accounts expire and never play again.


.... December 16th, 2012


I just saw last Wednesday that some of our family's favorite games can no longer be played unless we buy Deluxe memberships. This is ridiculous, considering we have bought hundreds of dollars worth of Webkinz stuffed animals over the years. Every year we spent money on new pets with the expectation that we would be renewing our 3 accounts for another year and would be able to play the same games as always. What they've done is unethical. We are going to let our accounts expire if they don't bring back the games we've always enjoyed.


.... December 14th, 2012


Very disappointed you are now charging for some of the more popular games. Thought webkinz was interested in the children that play on your site.A lot of these children can not afford to pay. Shame on you!!


.... December 13th, 2012


I've had my account since i was 7. Now, you have to pay 20 BUCKS A MONTH just to have fun! And yesterday, i noticed that more games in the arcade became "deluxe members only!" And today, EVEN MORE GAMES BECAME DELUXE ONLY! We all need to work together to put webkinz back the way it was!


.... December 11th, 2012


EVERYTHING is turning DELUX!! Im not buying my 4 kids webkinz anymore! Its a rip off! We have to pay for the pet! We have to pay for the electricity and yet we have to pay for a membership too!!! This is the dumbest thing ever!!


.... November 8th, 2012


I just paid $13.00 for my son to have a new
Webkinz pet. This is his 10th Webkinz item.
Yet the site blocks his usage with this new
Deluxe members block out. This is a rip off
and now, I will change my Christmas list and
will not buy webkinz for other family members.


.... November 7th, 2012


I have been on Webkinz for about 7-8 years now. Where has the time gone? I miss being a little kid. Webkinz was something exiting, new, and fun that everyone at school talked about. I logged on today after about a year of not going on the site, and was deeply dissapointed. It has all gone extremely downhill. It is so sad that this wonderful idea has become terrible. To all those people out there who remember the time when webkinz was the greatest thing- doesn't it make your heart hurt how bad the site has become?


.... November 7th, 2012


You have so many little children playing Webkinz. Now they have to try build a village and can only buy new items if they are a Deluxe Member. Like their parents are made of money!! What a rip off it has become. Too bad we parents have spent so much money on this so called product.


.... October 19th, 2012


I agree with the comments that this is a poorly-ran site and lazy company. I was happy with the four "pets" we had and only really "played" one. Nowhere do I remeber seeing I would have to purchase yearly to keep an account active. Now the site isn't loading either at all or stalling for several minutes. They seem to be "updating" when they should be focusing on some of these ratings! My son did enjoy the activities but not enough for us to put up with this BS. Our "pet" was actually a legacy to a real lost cocker spaniel, the last thing we had like him.
