Membership

Penguins who have Membership priveleges can dress up in various clothing, decorate their igloos, adopt more than two puffles, have more choices, more room on servers, and go to exclusive parties. The members can get clothes not only from the Gift Shop and Sport Shop, but if they are Secret Agents, they can buy secret agent clothes. Also, if they are Ninjas, they can get ninja furniture, buy a gong or get one of the Ninja Costumes. The Stage also has clothes in the Costume Trunk. (Note: The stage changes plays, which also affect the costumes.) Also, they may open their igloo to the public to have a "party." Simply, a membership results in many additional features. The main countries for membership are the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia. When a player becomes a member, a "Member Badge" will appear in the upper left corner of their Player Card. Member Badges can vary according to how long you have been a member on Club Penguin.
 * 0 - 6 Months: The regular member badge.
 * 7 - 12 Months: The regular member badge with a blue stripe under it.
 * 13 - 18 Months: Same as previous badge, but with a golden stripe above the blue.
 * 19 - 24 Months: Another stripe is added above the golden one, the white stripe.
 * 25+ Months: same as 19 - 24 months but with a star in the middle of the stripes.

People in other countries can still buy membership. The USD currency will be converted into your country's currency once bought.

Before the Club Penguin updates, you could illegally play as a member by using CP Trainer, but if you did this and Club Penguin caught you, you would get banned for either 72 hours (first time) or forever (second time). After the updates, CP Trainer no longer works. You can still use Winsocket Packet Editor Professional to gain a free membership though.

If a player's penguin gets banned forever, and also is currently on a membership, they will get an email (the same email that you made the penguin on) saying that they don't have to pay for the membership.

Membership Prices
Membership can be paid in Monthly, Bi-Annual or Annual installments. The annual option is cheaper over a long term period; however, many users prefer to use Monthly, as they can cancel it after any monthly period.

Memberships can be purchased online (as can gift certificates), or residents of the United States and the United Kingdom may purchase a  membership card.
