Reddit’s virtual currency[1] with which you buy Awards to give to posts or comments you particularly like. You have the option of paying real money for Coins[2], or if you earn one of the larger Awards from a fellow Redditor, you’ll get some free Coins. Premium subscribers get 700 coins monthly to spend.

If you do wish to spend some of your hard-earned cash to purchase Reddit Coins, it might be good to wait until Reddit has a ‘sale’ on (usually near a holiday) where they give special offers on certain amounts purchased. Having said that, at the time of writing (June 2022) there hasn’t been a sale for several months, except for the special offer that pops up whenever you claim one of the Free Awards that Reddit occasionally gives. On the new design of the mobile app, click the “Reddit Coins”[3] option on your profile, and that’ll show you if there’s one to claim.

Before giving any money to Reddit, please familiarise yourself with the Reddit Premium and Virtual Goods agreement[4].

There is no time limit on using Reddit coins (whether won or bought); they will stay in your account until you use them. They are exclusively used for giving awards to other Redditors and cannot be exchanged for any other Reddit feature.
Just like real money, sometimes it seems that your coins just disappear out of nowhere. If you think you have less coins that you should have, you can check on your profile at https://new.reddit.com/user/me/gilded/given/[5]. Mobile users should open that link with your phone's browser.

If you are experiencing issues with a Reddit Premium subscription or Coin purchase, tell Reddit through the contact form https://reddit.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new[6] and choose "Premium/Coins/Awards/Powerups Support" from the dropdown menu.
