!'''Months'''!!'''Badge'''
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, but is needed to remark that this is '''''illegal'''''.

*A limited-time offer for a 3-month Membership was offered from mid-June 2009 to July 15 2009, and with a cost of approximately half that of a 6-month membership (across all currencies). It was for people who wanted the membership on summer vacations.

*Many people try to find out if there is some way to get a free membership, which is only possible through Cheating.
*The famous cheater, [[MicroChip123]], said he will '''NOT''' make a membership trainer.
*Members sometimes bully non-members around because they don't get enough privileges as them. Most non-members are tired of this, however, some Members feel sorry for them.
*There have been reports of a glitch that causes permanent membership by buying two month-long memberships on the same day but '''DO NOT''' try it, as it is unpredictable and dangerous.
*The Mexican prices for the membership are wrong. The 1 month membership costs around 80 Mexican Pesos when compared to United States currency.
*Most of the memberships are used through membership cards, as kids usually do not have access to a credit card and any payment mde through the mail can take about 4 weeks for processing <ref>http://support.clubpenguin.com/help/faq/faq.htm#take-effect</ref>, and by that time, almost any member-only event would probably be over by that point.
*At some point Club Penguin might make Membership free or something else, although this is HIGHLY unlikely, because they need the money to keep the company running.

==Criticism of Membership==
{{Types of Penguins}}
Many [[non-members]] who have been on ''Club Penguin'' for a long time have claimed that members have been given a lot more privileges than they did earlier (such as more member-only rooms during parties). As a result, non-members have been getting less privileges nowadays. Many of these non-members believe that ''Club Penguin'' is focusing more on making money nowadays, since the company is growing. In addition, non-members have been starting protests outside of the entrances to member-only rooms. Many penguins have been noticing that because of the growing number of members, Club Penguin has been recently more focused on buying items and attending parties, than it is simply chatting and having fun. Many penguins believe that this has been happening after Disney bought the company.

The old Game Card, one method of acquiring a membership status.

Penguins who have Membership[1] 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, but if they are EPF agents, then they can buy clothes from the Elite Gear. Also, if they are ninjas, they can also get ninja furniture, buy a hand 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.[2] 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. As of January 31, 2017 players can no longer buy membership for your penguin.
