NO, deluxe memberships didn't begin until April 2009. This account clearly was expired in August 2008, which is 8 months before deluxe memberships were offered.
I am glad that this was posted. I almost posted it. This member did not even set up their "My Page" when the account was active (maybe the "My Page" didn't exist back then--I don't remember when they introduced "My Page").
I hope they fix this. I have called them about this problem before and they did verify that the member of the day honor and trophy was given to an expired account. They were supposed to fix it--but obviously they didn't!
If you check the badges on the one page, the deluxe members will have a Deluxe Badge. On this particular member's page, the page was so old it was before they introduced badges and there was no way to see the badges because the page was so old and out of date.
I wish they would give this honor only to active accounts. Most of the "Members of the Day" don't even have the badge that is won by clicking the daily kinzcare. Most of them don't have the one that we got for Christmas. Most of them only have the default badges and the type of pet badges.
If they would only take into consideration the activity on the account and give the accounts with more activity a greater chance at getting the "Member of the Day" honor, I would be happy. They could program it so that the greater the number of badges you have, the greater the chance of getting "Member of the Day".
Or, since it seems tied to the "my page" maybe those who do things regularly to update their page? Even if it is just earning a new bage, changing a background, what ever.
Then the people who check it regularly would have a much better chance than people like,- oh I don't know, let me see, I know - like me who seldom even check to see who won the member of the day thing. You who check regularly should have a better chance than just anyone in the database.
Another expired account won the Member of the Day today (March 2). The winning account opened on Dec 15, 2007 with 2 pets, which would mean that the account expired on or before Dec 15, 2009. I think that there was an extension that WW gave us for 1 or 2 months sometime in the past. Even with a 2 month extension, the account is not active. Their "My Page" is not set up. By looking at the badges, this is not a deluxe account (there is no Deluxe Badge)! The account doesn't even have the daily kinzcare badge!
The real question here is, who can live with just one Webkinz? LOL
Ah, too true!

I see SnowCrystal is understanding my frustration with the MOTD award recipient! Thank you for explaining it better than I did
Well, this is kind of disappointing to hear. Those of us who have spent big $$$ buying Webkinz and related items and spent so much time on WW might be disappointed to see that someone whose account has long since expired with only one pet gets member of the day and a trophy???
Yes, it should be expired - but according to Ganz, you can be the Member of the Day if you visit your MyPage, which would be impossible if the account is expired - so are these trophies actually being awarded? That is what I am wondering.....
The trophies are being awarded. I managed to get lucky enough to trade for one so there are a few of them floating around.
I do find it quite frustrating that Ganz is awarding the trophy to accounts like this one. It isn't like they would have been able to extend their membership using the Deluxe Membership either. The Deluxe membership wasn't available when the account would have expired.
I went back and dug up the WW newspaper article about the "Member of the Day". It does imply that you have to have "My Page" set up in order to become the "Member of the Day"; but from what I have seen, most of the winners of this honor don't have their "My Page" set up at all. I wish WW would redo the programming so that you have to at least log in to your account during the month that you are awarded this honor. Maybe have the "Member of the Day" chosen from the accounts that logged in the day before. It is a shame that they are giving this honor (and trophy) to expired and inactive accounts.
I have seen this before - the Member of the Day is supposed to be someone who logged into their WW account and visited their MyPage. Today, this is the Member of the Day - someone who has one pet and began the account in 2007. This account should be an expired account, so the person couldn't have logged in and visited their MyPage. I have actually called Ganz about this quite a few months back. I hope it gets fixed!
I see this all the time. SUPER annoying! Why don't they set it up so someone deserving gets it?... Like me! LOL!
Wow, I hope they fix this soon. If this is a glitch of making an expired account member of the day instead of an account that exists or giving the honor to no one, I will be completely and utterly upset and discouraged! :O
