How does KinzCash go missing in Webkinz World?

The only way items and KinzCash go missing is if someone else is using your child’s account. Sometimes children share usernames and passwords. We do not recommend this. We suggest that all children keep their passwords a secret. To change the password, please go to the Webkinz World home page and click ‘I’m a Member.’

Where is the secret code on a Webkinz Pet?

Each Webkinz pet comes with its own unique Secret Code and is contained in the tag that is securely attached to every pet when it is shipped to the original retailer. Just as we cannot replace a lost Webkinz pet, we are unable to replace a lost Webkinz tag and the Secret Code that comes with it. The code doesn’t work.
