An example of a buddy list.
The Buddy List, which displays as My Buddies, is a menu that stores the list of Buddies for a Jammer. This menu can be accessed by clicking on the tiger and monkey icon along the top of the game screen. The list has a limit of 1000 buddies for players that currently or formerly had a Membership while non-members have a limit of only 200 buddies.
Online Buddies[]
The Buddy List can be used to determine which buddies are online at the moment. The online buddies are sorted to the top of the list and appear with a green icon next to their username. The offline buddies, on the other hand, are sorted to the bottom of the list in alphabetical order starting with numbers then going on to letters. They have a grey icon next to their username. If the buddy is hosting a party, the green button will change to a party hat. If a buddy is blocked, a smaller red button will appear next to their name.
Last Seen[]
When a buddy's username is hovered over in the list, a small tool-tip pops up to show how long it has been since the buddy was last seen. Online Jammers do not show this; they instead show the word "Online". Jammers that were online on the current day show up as last seen "Today" and other Jammers that have been away for longer will show up as last seen "# Days Ago", where the # is anything from 1 to 30. If the Jammer has been away for more than a month, it will display "More than 30 Days."
Find A Jammer[]
At the bottom corner of the My Buddies menu there is a search button that can be used to search for a Jammer by their username. If the Jammer is located, their Player Card will be displayed; otherwise, the game notifies the player that the Jammer could not be found. If a player types in their own username, it will instead show up with a notification saying they cannot search for themselves.
Refer A Friend[]

The Refer A Friend Rewards pop-up
At the very bottom of the buddies pop-up is an "Invite A Friend" link that will display the Refer A Friend Rewards page. This page details a player's progress in referring a certain number of friends to join Animal Jam Classic. The top left of the referrals page includes a button to view a list of all the other Jammers that have been referred by the player. The bottom center of the page has an invite button that allows the player to copy a text link that can be pasted elsewhere for friends or to print out invite cards with the code included.
Level 1[]
The first reward is the only one that can be redeemed an unlimited number of times. It is obtained by referring a friend that creates a new account. The reward for this level is 1,500 Gems.
Level 2[]
The second reward can only be redeemed once. It is obtained by referring one friend that purchases a new Membership. The reward for this level is 15 Diamonds and 1 week of Membership. This, along with the levels onwards will only be redeemable if the Memberships are not from free Membership codes.
Level 3[]
The third reward can only be redeemed once. It is obtained by referring three friends that purchase new memberships. The reward for this level is 25 Diamonds, 1 month of Membership, and the Epic Feathered Armor Set.
Level 4[]
The fourth reward can only be redeemed once and it is currently the maximum reward level. It is obtained by referring five friends that purchase new Memberships. The reward for this level is 50 Diamonds, 1 month of Membership, and the Legendary Eagle.
Trivia[]
- If the Player sends a buddy request to a user who does not accept them, it will say: "(Insert username here) is not accepting Buddy Requests right now."
- If a buddy comes online, then the Buddy icon will flash and a sound will play to inform the Player that a Buddy has come online.
- When the buddy list icon is clicked, the expressions on the monkey and tiger change.
- There is a glitch that causes the last seen pop-up to often display "More than 30 Days" incorrectly even when a Jammers was online recently.
- There is a glitch where the player may obtain more than the maximum number of buddies if multiple buddy requests are sent to offline Jammers and then later accepted.
- There was a glitch where the player could appear on their own buddy list, but it has since been fixed.
- There was a glitch where buddies added while they are a New Jammer will sometimes be displayed in the buddy list as "New Jammer" forever. However, once they get their username, it can be seen by clicking on their Player Card. This glitch is now fixed.
- New Jammers cannot be searched because their username is unknown; however, even once their username is visible the search may not work to find them until several days later.
- Originally, the buddy list was limited to only 100 Jammers, but it was expanded to 200 for all Jammers on April 28, 2016. Then, on March 30, 2017, it was expanded again to 1000 for players with membership.
- The buddy list used to show the name of the animal that online buddies were currently using. However, due to the most recent buddy limit increase, this feature was removed in that update.
- The "Invite A Friend" button was added around April 2018 and the Rewards page was expanded around November 2018.
