You know we’re absolutely obsessed with our Yoto Player. Make that. . . Yoto PlayerS since we now own 4 of them.
(If you’re curious about the Yoto Player, I have a whole post about it here and a post here about the Yoto Mini).
And every time I talk about them, I get asked about Yoto Club and if it’s worth it.
Well, you know I can’t ever resist a little research into things like this, so in December, I signed up for an annual membership.
The cost of Yoto Club is $9.99 per month or $99 per year (which works out to $8.25 per month and is a 21% discount over doing it month-to-month).
The original reason I signed up for Yoto Club was because I was ordering some cards and the shipping was absurd ($10 for one pack of cards). You CAN get free shipping if you spend over $50, but I wasn’t buying that many cards.
Suddenly, the idea of paying $9.99 for a month of Yoto Club and getting free shipping on my order, PLUS 10% off my order AND two free Yoto cards felt like a no brainer.
So, if you’re making any sort of order from Yoto, it very likely makes sense to sign up for Yoto Club first and then make your purchase because you’ll get that 10% off and free shipping, plus the membership cards.
(Or if you’re not ready to commit, you can use my link here and it’ll give you 10% off your player and first order).
The best news is that they recently made some updates to Yoto Club and it’s even better than before. The cost is still the same and you still get the 10% discount and unlimited free shipping, but the Yoto Club cards situation is way better.
Previously, there were ten options each month and you could choose during a designated time slot which two of those ten you wanted.
Now? There is no selection time and you can choose Club cards whenever you want and they’ll ship immediately (the delay used to be several weeks between choosing and shipping).
Even better, the selection of cards has become MUCH larger – I just counted and there were 102 options to choose from! So you’re much more likely to be able to find two cards you REALLY want.
You also can accrue Club Card credits for up to 12 months so if you want to save them up and get a bunch for a birthday or Christmas, you can absolutely do that!
Basically, all the best parts of Yoto Club have remained the same, but now it’s even easier to get great cards.
It’s pretty straightforward and with the annual membership, it means you’re getting cards for $4.13 each. With a monthly membership, they’ll be $5.00 each which is also excellent savings, since many of the cards are more like $9-12 each.
Any questions about how the Yoto Club works? I’m happy to answer!

I think Im going to sign up for yoto club. It just make sense. Also, did you get a jacket for your player. If so, what color and does it look like it does in the pictures online (color wise)?
Janssen Bradshaw says
We just did get a jacket (the blue one) and it’s identical to the online photos.

Hi there!
Do you have a list of favorite YoTO Club cards?
Janssen Bradshaw says
yes! https://everyday-reading.com/yoto-cards/
Kara says
Do you know if the selection of the Yoto Club cards changes each month, or if those same 102 cards are the same ones always offered as part of the Yoto Club cards?
Janssen Bradshaw says
They said they’ll be regularly adding new ones, but it won’t be a full switch over like it used to be when it was only 10 cards.
Hannah H. says
Do they remind you to buy your two cards per month? I just signed up!
Becca Breinholt says
Would you recommend this for kids 12+ my daughter loves audio books and we have audible but I was wondering if the book selection would be good for older kids. Also she will listen to audible on my phone and scroll while she listens so I like that she can’t do that with this.
Janssen Bradshaw says
You can make cards for the Yoto player with any audiobook, so you never really age out of it. My 13 year old still uses hers all the time!
Kim Woodruff says
I joined yoto club to buy a yoto and cards for my grandkids. Will they be able to link the yoto to themselves after I give it to them?
Janssen Bradshaw says
Here are instructions for that https://support.yotoplay.com/en-US/can-i-gift-a-yoto-club-membership-31580
Krista says
Have you noticed whether any of the Disney or Pixar story cards are Yoto Club options? Or Paw Patrol? It feels too good to be true that those would make it in rotation?
Janssen Bradshaw says
Some Disney cards are. No Paw Patrol. You’ll see them all marked with the little green tent logo if they’re a Club card!
Aubrey says
If I save up credits throughout a few months and don’t choose any club books, when I go to use the credits does it still have to only be club cards or can the credits then be used towards any cards (including ones not part of Yoto Club?)
Janssen Bradshaw says
Club credits will always only work on club cards.
Julie M says
Do some cards cost more credits than others? For instance I noticed there is a $29.99 pack of cards listed as a club card. Does this still only cost 1 club point and we would get another selection that month or do certain cards cost more than 1 club point?
Janssen Bradshaw says
Usually the pack of cards will cost as many club credits as it is is cards.
