Platinum Awards

If someone gives you a Platinum award, you will receive a month of free premium Reddit, giving you a month of ad-free browsing, r/lounge access and 700 Reddit coins. The coins will not expire once the month is up, and, like other premium awards, the time stacks up if you get other premium awards during that month.

Platinum is not like any other Reddit premium award in that you might not get the coins immediately, depending on other factors such as any awards you might have previously won. Those who pay for their premium subscription get 700 regular Reddit coins delivered every 31 days, and those who are awarded Platinum get theirs the same way.

Getting your 700 Platinum coins also depends upon when in the month you won the award[1]. This is ambiguously called the ‘Billing Cycle’ and to view yours, go to: User settings --> Subscriptions --> Subscription status.

1: https://www.reddit.com/r/blog/comments/kr7wzl/the_code_is_unfrozen_heres_your_first_super_short/gi8rmjn/

You will see the message “Your Premium Subscription will automatically renew at the beginning of your next billing cycle. If your subscription ends, you will have Premium until (Date).” If you won Platinum, your subscription will end on that date.

Yes, it’s confusing. So. Let’s say you are a Redditor currently with no premium, paid for or gifted.

You get 4 awards in the first week of January in this order: 1. Platinum, 2. Platinum, 3. Gold, 4. Platinum. Hooray! 13 whole weeks of Reddit Premium in total!

However, in January you will only get 800 coins, 700 of which might not even be given straight away. The 100 gold is given immediately, the platinum is given as described above. That’s the coins from your awards numbers 1 and 3. You get your first four weeks of Reddit Premium.

Sometime in February, four weeks after your first coin delivery you’ll get another 700 coins, from award number 2. By now you are into your second four weeks of Reddit Premium.

Sometime in March, four weeks after your second coin delivery, you get nothing. You are into your ninth week of Reddit Premium; the gold week. But you already had your 100 gold coins in week 1 because they were given immediately you won the award.

One week later in March, maybe even April, you get 700 coins from award number 4, the final platinum.

Your Reddit Premium then ends after 13 weeks.

You will be notified by Reddit when your coins arrive with a message like: *Gadzooks! Your monthly Coins have been delivered! Your 700 monthly Coins have been added to your balance! Thank you for supporting Reddit as a Premium member!*
