Thanks for posting this! I was wondering if my posts were "fluff" or not and this will help me decide whether I'm ready to "apply" or not. Looks like it's been helpful to a lot of people besides me, too!!

how do u become gifted?

[Catchfire]

I was looking everywhere trying to find this info. Then I looked where it should be so of course i found it here. And you know I'm pretty sure I saw all this when I first joined a few months ago and read everything. Unfortunately I wasn't able to remember. Ah well. It's probably because I didn't actually get really interested in Webkinz Insider until the last couple of weeks. Other than looking at the rare times and printing the trade guide off. But now I'm having a blast. It's so much fun looking at pictures and participating in conversations. There's so much to do I don't know what to do next. The only bad side to this website is that I'm not earning as much kinzcash as I used to. Because I'm spending time here instead of WW. Oh well it's more interesting (& funner more or less) than Webkinz World. I just want to say thanks to everyone who created this awesome site and run it. Thank You Catchfire

Dear Gingerly,
This was a very nice thing for you to do for all of us members here on WI! It really means a lot to me! The thing is, I know lots of people who have a lot of non-fluff, helpful posts and have applied to the Gift Exchange, but eitheer don't get accepted or forget about it because it takes so long. Is there any way I could make the process of waiting any shorter, because I really would like to be a Gift Trainee but afraid of how long it will take in the process. Also, once you apply, how long does it take you to become a GT? Thank you very much indeed!

Thank you, so much. It is a little frustrating because I want to be gifted so badly because I love rare items and trading. However I keep trying and trying to be helpful and find useful information, and it always seems like someone else always posted it, or found out first.

Every time I find something to announce or explain - there it is, already posted.

I guess I will just keep trying.

Thanks again!!!

This information helped me a lot, and I put in my application a few weeks ago. Can you tell me if I will be notified by PM? I'm not sure how long it takes, but sometimes I miss a few days in here because of work travel. I'm really looking forward to becoming a trainee! Thanks for all your help.

Thank you so much.
The process really doesn't take that long. Just make around 60 posts...they
shouldn't all be *helpful* posts either. Take a moment to reread this thread
from the very beginning.
Once you sign your Agreement, it takes about one week to be notified.

Please remember, this isn't about making only *helpful* posts...there are many
other types of posts that will count.....

Be supportive.
Congratulate people.
Welcome new members.
Check out the Happy Birthday section and send good wishes.
Go to Open Mike or Gen'l Disc/chat and join in conversations.

.....Please reread this thread for lots more suggestions.

It takes about a week to find out. ( via PM )

Thanks for the correction. It is very good advice.
