Ganz has introduced a new level of membership - the Deluxe Membership. By upgrading your membership one can expect the following every month:

• A gift box with an exclusive piece of clothing only available to DMs
  
• Special access to a Deluxe activity page in the Today's Activities section
  
• Access to the DMs only Gold channel on the Webkinz phone
  
• 3,000 eStore Points to spend at the eStore
  

When you sign up you also get a special hat that let's everyone know you are a DM. There are two plans available - a single account membership or a family account. The single account can be paid for on a monthly basis for $5, a semi-annual membership for $25, or $45 for an annual membership. The family account seems to be available on an annual basis-only for $45 - this option allows you to have up to five accounts signed up. The single account annual plan is the only one that also gives you an "EXCLUSIVE Super Deluxe Item!".

Being the Webkinz addict that I am, I signed up for the Single Account Annual Plan. Because I am on the West Coast, I am not able to access my account to report on what the hat looks like, or anything else I may have been sent. I will check now and then before retiring to see if I can access my main account and bring you more info. The chart states that my plan pays Bonus eStore Points of 5,000 but my actual eStore account shows I have 6,000 points.

I will continue to bring you updates as available!
