Reddit Premium and Gold: Cancel, Not Showing, Wrong Account, Prices, Refunds

Does this match what you see?

• You bought Premium but your account doesn’t show it.
• You can’t buy Premium because your account is too new.

Computer (browser)iPhone & iPadAndroid

Based on four Reddit Help articles (Reddit Premium, cancelling a subscription, gold, and deleting your account), supplied by the site owner on November 9, 2026. Prices are Reddit’s US dollar prices as of that date and may vary by country.

Why this happens: the possible causes

Where you bought Premium decides where you manage it (Reddit Help).

• Bought on a different account or Apple IDCheck this first

  Apple and Google allow one Reddit subscription per Apple ID or email.

• Account too new to buyPossible

  Reddit asks very new accounts to wait a couple of days.

How to fix it, step by step

Work through these in order. They start with the quickest, safest checks and only move to steps that sign you out or remove data later.

Premium on the wrong account

With Apple or Google, Reddit says you must cancel, wait for it to expire, then buy Premium on the right account. If you don’t wait, it carries on on the first account. Need it on the other account straight away? Buy it on reddit.com instead. Our note: you’d then be paying for both until the first one runs out.

“Your account isn’t old enough”

Reddit says your account needs to be a little older. Try again in a couple of days.

Change how you pay (for example, app to web)

Reddit says you need to cancel, wait for the subscription to expire, then subscribe again with the payment method you want.

What Reddit Premium costs and includes

Reddit’s listed prices as of November 2026 (US dollars; Reddit says prices may vary by country):

The app costs more because Apple and Google charge Reddit a fee on each purchase. Buy on the web at Reddit’s Premium page, or in the app: menu (three lines, top left of your home feed) > Resources > Reddit Premium.

Reddit lists these perks:

• Ad-free browsing, and a red dot on new comments since your last visit.
• Longer posts (80,000 characters, up from 40,000) and videos (30 minutes, up from 15).
• 60 avatar Past Looks slots (up from 30), exclusive avatar gear and custom app icons.
• 100 daily questions in Reddit’s AI search (in English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, French and German).
• Account-level performance analytics, and access to r/lounge.

Reddit gold: buying, balance and refunds

Gold is separate from Premium. You use it to give awards on posts and comments, or to get digital goods in Developer Platform apps such as games. Reddit says gold is non-transferable and non-refundable. Our tip: buy only what you’ll use.

1. On a post: open the overflow menu (three dots) > Award this post. On a comment: tap the award icon under it.
2. Pick an award. If your balance is too low, Reddit asks you to buy gold.
3. To buy gold without giving an award, tap the small gold icon at the top left of that pop-up.

Reddit’s gold prices as of November 2026 (US dollars):

• On the web, pay by credit or debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay; in the app, through Apple or Google.
• Gold you buy works on both web and the app. Unspent gold stays as a balance, up to 10,000 gold.
• You can’t use gold to pay or send money to other users.
• Awards you receive count, by gold spent, as one signal for Reddit’s Contributor Program payouts.

Our note: anyone offering to sell you gold or Premium outside Reddit, or asking you to pay them in gold, isn’t going through Reddit.

Reddit Pro isn’t Reddit Premium

Reddit says Reddit Pro is a free set of business tools (currently in beta) that helps eligible businesses and organizations find relevant communities, learn where to contribute, and measure how their content performs. Reddit says it’s not a replacement for Reddit Premium, and not a paid advertising tool or a replacement for Reddit Ads.

Reddit says Pro works on desktop and mobile web (its Trends tab is also in the iPhone and Android apps), in all English-speaking countries where Reddit operates. Our note: if you were charged, it wasn’t for Pro, which is free; check your Premium or gold purchases above.

Signing up: Reddit says to go to redditforpros.com, select Sign Up, and follow the steps. To be eligible, you need a Reddit account set to safe-for-work (SFW) with a verified email, you must identify as a business or organization, and you give your business name, website and category (size is optional). You can’t change the category after sign-up. Pro accounts follow the same Reddit Rules and community rules as everyone else, and Reddit asks businesses to be transparent about which brand they represent, respect users’ privacy, and not harass critics or offer incentives for positive comments.
