reddit • 2h To our Gold members,

Thank you for your patronage as you've supported Reddit through the years through your Gold membership. Your contributions have (and continue to be) much appreciated!

We wanted to give you advanced notice that your membership will be getting some updates in the coming weeks, which hopefully you will find are all for the better. Here is a summary of these changes:

Gold Membership will be rebranded as Premium Membership. You will continue to have the same benefits as before (e.g. ads-free Reddit, highlighting new comments, creating exclusive Premium communities) but with a new name. New benefit - monthly Coins. You will receive a brand new good called "Coins", which you can spend to give Gold awards to others, just for being a Reddit Premium member. You will receive these Coins on a monthly basis with your membership. Price change for new memberships. If you are paying for a recurring monthly or yearly Gold membership ($3.99 USD monthly or $29.99 USD yearly), you will be able to keep that price point if you buy it prior to our changes in the coming weeks. Once the new changes are rolled out, new memberships will cost $5.99 per month. Creddits will be converted to Coins. If you paid for Creddits and have any outstanding when we move over, your balance will automatically be converted to Coins. Creddits can alternatively be converted to the new Premium Membership (one-time only). A few of you give yourselves Gold by buying Creddits (instead of buying Gold directly). If you want to convert your Creddits to months of Premium Membership, do the following now: Go to reddit.com/gold and click the “One-Time Purchase” tab Select the number of months you would like to purchase a membership for, and click continue On the next screen, please select “creddits” as the payment method to convert your existing Creddits to membership That’s it! You should be set now Why We're Doing This We first launched Gold back in 2010 and gilding a couple years later. Since then, Gold has become a unique and beloved part of the Reddit experience—recognizing quality content, awarding a prize for community contests, starting a good ol’-fashioned gold train, and surprising thousands of users with a token of appreciation every day.

But in the years since we introduced Gold, we haven’t done much to improve the experience, which is why now we’re recommitting to making these experiences better. We'll be starting with the changes above (coming soon), which we hope are just the beginning of many more improvements for Gold in the future (coming less soon).

Required Legal Text (Applies Only to Users Who Purchased Gold) By allowing your Gold membership to convert to a Premium membership, you agree to continue to be charged for this membership. You also agree to Reddit’s User Agreement, which may be updated from time to time. If you would like to cancel your membership, please go here to do so.
