Happy 3rd Birthday to Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter)! But here's the real treat: you can snag an X Premium subscription for just Rs 89 for the first month in India. Yes, you read that right—a steal of a deal, but only if you act fast. This limited-time offer ends on December 2, so let’s dive into how you can grab it before it’s gone. And this is the part most people miss: after the first month, the price jumps to Rs 427 (desktop) or Rs 470 (app) per month. Is it worth it? That’s the controversial question we’ll explore later.
How to Get X Premium for Rs 89
For first-time subscribers only, here’s how to unlock this deal:
On the X Desktop Site:
1. Log in to your X account.
2. Look for the ‘Claim offer’ card at the top right. Can’t find it? Click the ‘Premium’ option in the left column (fourth from the bottom, marked with the ‘X’ logo).
3. Select the Premium plan showing the Rs 89 promo price.
4. Click ‘Subscribe and Pay’ and complete the payment with your credit/debit card.
On the X Mobile App:
1. Open the app and log in.
2. Tap your profile icon in the top-left corner.
3. Choose ‘Premium’ from the sidebar.
4. Select the Premium plan with the Rs 89 offer.
5. Click ‘Subscribe’ and follow the prompts to complete payment.
Pro Tip: This offer is only for new subscribers, so if you’ve already tried Premium, you’re out of luck this time. But here’s where it gets controversial: Is X Premium worth the full price after the first month? Let’s break down what you get.
What’s Included in X Premium at Rs 89?
For Rs 89, you unlock a suite of features that might just change how you use X:
- Blue Tick Verification: Yes, you get the coveted blue tick, instantly boosting your credibility.
- Priority in Conversations: Your posts and replies are pushed higher in threads, making you more visible.
- Post Editing & Undo: Fix typos or take back a post after sending it—a game-changer for perfectionists.
- Longer Posts & Videos: Write up to 25,000 characters per post (vs. 280 for free users) and upload longer videos.
- Fewer Ads: While not ad-free, you’ll see significantly fewer ads than free users. (For zero ads, consider X Premium+.)
- Creator Earnings: If your posts gain traction, X pays you—similar to YouTube’s creator program.
- Extra Perks: Download videos, create communities, use bold/italic text, organize bookmarks, and customize your app icon.
- Higher AI Limits: Get more usage with the Grok AI chatbot.
But here’s the debate: Is the blue tick and ad reduction worth Rs 427/month after the promo? Some users swear by it, while others call it overpriced. What do you think? Is X Premium a must-have or a luxury?
Final Thoughts
At Rs 89, this is a no-brainer for anyone curious about X Premium. But remember, the full price kicks in after the first month. Is it a deal or a trap? That’s for you to decide. Let us know in the comments—would you stick with Premium at the full price, or is the free version enough for you? And if you’ve already tried it, share your experience!
