Insider Insider Card - A suggustion for buying Insider Insider Subscriptions

[Lake]

Hello, WI!

I was looking into becoming an Insider Insider, and I realized that I really didn't want to ask my parents to buy me one -- I'd rather buy it myself. Because it's through the computer, that's pretty much impossible for me to buy.
I know WI has many users that don't own a credit card, and can't order a subscription by themselves, so that brings me to my idea:What if WI created cards, like ClubPenguin has. Each card has a certain number, which you could enter on the site. Sort of like Webkinz, too.
*If you've never seen the ClubPenguin cards, they can usually be found at Wal-Mart in the cash register area, under all the gift cards.

I don't know if that's even possible, but I think it would get WI to have more Insider Insiders because the kid-users could buy them with thier money.


UPDATE: Thank you to [xo] Pop-Tart for telling me that we can buy these subscriptions with our WI Bucks-- I didn't know that, and it just made my day!

This is a quote from hp1010 that I think still makes the Cards a good idea:

Good idea, Lake, but now there's a way to become an Insider Insider without paying the real money. You can pay 50,000 WI bucks.

And thank you, too, hp! That's what I was thinking.

I do love the idea, though, Lake, and I agree with HP! Great idea!

Click 'Quick Links' and then the last link will be 'WI Bucks Store'. It was just added a few days ago! (:

Awesome! Thanks!

You're welcome, and congratulations on becoming a WI2.
But I still LOVE this idea. I don't know if it's possible though, but if it is it'd be a great way to make money for their website and gain more members!

Thanks! I am so excited!

I think it would be a great idea to find an easier way for young people without credit cards to buy WI2 memberships, but I can't really think of any way for people to buy something online without a credit card or paypal account (which requires a credit card/bank account)... The idea of having them for sale in a store is a good one! I'm not sure how difficult that would be for WI to do though. WI doesn't really have a "product" that it sells that the cards could go along with... retailers might not want to have WI cards if it's only use is to purchase the WI2 membership... I am quite happy that Justin added the option for people to buy them with WI Bucks though!!! That is very cool!
