In a special birthday celebration, Elon Musk's microblogging platform, X (formerly known as Twitter), has rolled out an attractive discount on its Premium subscription for users in India. The platform is marking its third anniversary by offering new subscribers their first month of X Premium for just Rs 89.
How to Avail the Rs 89 X Premium Offer
This limited-time promotion is a gateway for new users to experience the paid features of X without a significant initial investment. However, the offer is strictly for first-time subscribers and is not available to existing paying members. The window to grab this deal is short, as it expires on December 2.
After the first month at the promotional price of Rs 89, the subscription will automatically renew at the standard rate. For users on the desktop, the subsequent monthly charge will be Rs 427. If the subscription is managed through the mobile app, the renewal fee will be Rs 470 per month due to platform-specific charges.
Step-by-Step Guide to Subscribe
Getting the X Premium subscription at the discounted rate is a straightforward process, whether you are on a computer or a mobile device.
On the X Desktop Website:
- Log in to your account on the X website.
- Look for and tap the 'Claim offer' card displayed at the top right of your screen.
- If the card isn't visible, navigate to the 'Premium' option in the left-hand column (it's the fourth option from the bottom, marked with an 'X' logo).
- You will see the available plans. Select the 'Premium' option that shows the Rs 89 promotional price.
- Click "Subscribe and Pay".
- Enter your payment details using a credit or debit card to complete the transaction.
On the X Mobile App:
- Open the X app and ensure you are logged in.
- Tap on your profile icon located in the top-left corner of the screen.
- From the sidebar that appears, select the "Premium" option.
- Browse the subscription plans and choose the one highlighting the ₹89 promo price.
- Tap "Subscribe" and follow the on-screen instructions to finalize the payment.
What You Get with an X Premium Subscription
Subscribing to X Premium unlocks a suite of features designed to enhance the user experience. The most recognizable benefit is the coveted blue tick verification badge, which adds a layer of authenticity to your profile.
Your engagement on the platform also receives a significant boost. Your posts and replies are prioritized in conversations, giving them greater visibility. The subscription also grants you the power to edit your posts after publishing, a feature long requested by Twitter users in the past.
For content creators, the benefits are substantial. You can upload longer videos and write posts with up to 25,000 characters, a massive leap from the standard 280-character limit. Perhaps most importantly, Premium users are eligible to earn money based on the reach and engagement of their posts, similar to models like YouTube's creator program.
Additional perks include the ability to undo a sent post, download videos, create communities, use bold and italic text formatting, organize bookmarks into folders, and select a custom app icon for your device. Furthermore, subscribers get higher usage limits for the Grok AI chatbot and see fewer ads than non-paying users, though the platform is not completely ad-free. For an entirely ad-free experience, users need to subscribe to the higher-tier X Premium+ plan or use an ad blocker on the web version.
