Ganz to Upgrade Webkinz Newz Accounts to Ganzworld Accounts on March 14

Ganz has Webkinz Newz for the children, and the Ganz Parent Club for their parents. You need separate accounts to post comments on each one, but on March 14, that will change, as accounts will be upgraded to GanzWorld accounts.
You will need your Webkinz Newz username and password to finish the account upgrade, and after March 14, changing your password will become more difficult.
From what I can gather from the Parent Club's video about the subject, it seems that the upgraded accounts will let people use the new Share Center, also making its debut on March 14, no matter what kind of account they previously held.

  • Your Webkinz World account will not be affected by this change
  • If you have a Parent Club account and a Webkinz Newz account, they will merge
  • You will not lose login information, comments you've made, pictures you've uploaded to the Share Center, or any KinzCash you've gathered from playing games on the WKN/Parent Club sites
  •  The whole point of this is to allow players access to WKN, the Ganz Parent Club, and any future Newz sites with a single log-in.

  3. I have a webkinz newz user name and password but it has never worked for me.So I can't play the games for kinzcash or anything else that requires this. I have even changed my password several times and it still has not worked, so I wonder how this is going to effect my ability to be able to log in to play the games there or the other stuff. Thanks for any help you can offer.
