Bonus Gift on Expiring Deluxe Membership Policy Confirmed

Ever since Ganz changed the Deluxe Membership "gift date" to the first of the month for all Webkinz Deluxe members, our users have wondered what happens to those whose Deluxe Membership expires during a particular month -- do they still get the gift?

Thanks to @sammymc83 on Twitter (sammymc on our Webkinz Forum), we now know the answer to that question -- NO. Her Deluxe Membership expires on August 9, and she received an e-mail today from Webkinz World that she had received her "final bonus gift". While no one could be sure what the policy would be, this is the correct and fair way to establish eligibilty for bonus gifts.

To clarify, the "Deluxe Bonus Gift" policy is:

• Current Deluxe Bonus Gift awarded immediately when starting membership
• Deluxe Bonus Gift awarded for every complete month after that

Thanks Justin!

I get it now. Looks like I'm not getting my September gift. D:

I think it sounds fair, you'll probably have deluxe activities until the date you signed up. But when gift boxes get moved up to the 1st of the month, you'll get 12 boxes for an annual membership, I believe.

Thanks Justin!

Any idea what the "official policy" is around Estore points? Some folk got theirs today - some did not - are they awarded first of the month or on your anniversary?

Grump... I need 2500 more points to get a Mammoth and I am *not* buying points!

cool. i did not know that. I signed up for one month before, and i got one right before it expired. But that was before it changed to the 1st of each month i think. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for telling me that! My deluxe thing expires October 5 or something like that. Let me see....................................... only two more gifts! I think I'm going to get another half a year of deluxe for my birthday. Bye!

Well, my anniversary date is not at the beginning of the month (I don't remember what day it actually is), and I received my estore points today. However, I have not received the gifts for July.
