Membership is an optional addition to Club Penguin which players can buy. By default, players have a limited access to many of the features of the island, but players with a membership have unlimited access to all features. This includes buying clothing, earning all stamps, accessing all the features in parties and events, adopting up to 75 puffles, and so on. Penguins with membership are called "members", whereas players who don't have a membership are referred to as non-members.
A membership can be obtained in several ways. The player can buy membership online, using their parent's credit or debit card, or via PayPal. Another way is by using a membership card or a gift certificate. Membership cards are purchased from shops and retailers in many countries around the world. Gift Certificates can be purchased online using a credit card; then activated later.
Member Badges
All members have their membership badge on the upper-left corner of their player card image. The badge's design changes depending on how long the player has been a member for. The longer the membership lasts, the higher the badge's "rank" is. This system has been used since January 2009.
- Badge Level 1: 0-6 Months = standard member badge
- Badge Level 2: 7-12 Months = member badge with blue stripe
- Badge Level 3: 13-18 Months = member badge with blue and orange stripes
- Badge Level 4: 19-24 Months = member badge with white, blue and orange stripes
- Badge Level 5: 25+ Months = member badge with white, blue, orange stripes and a star
Membership Prices
There are four options to choose from: 1 month, 3 month, 6 months, or 12 months. 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months can be bought online. 1 month, 3 months and 6 months can be bought on the Club Penguin app. All options can be bought in membership card form.
