Neopets Premium

Neopets Premium is a feature that was added in 2004. It includes many different settings, including the BOSS button, beta testing, a Space Faerie Scratchcard, and more.

Neopets Premium is an extended version of the site, for which members pay $7.99 a month, or $69.95 a year. There are also different packs that include Premium such as dial-up service. With this Premium membership, external ads are completely erased, and certain "perks" are added, such as bonus Neopoints, rare items, NeoBoard available to premium users only, webmail, more Random Events, and testing unreleased games. Some groups voice the opinion that the Neopets staff members are transferring some free features to Premium.

To go Premium, a player must first be invited by another Premium member. There is then a 15 day trial. There are even prizes (an Avatar, Sidebar, and Trophy) for referring people to Premium who have remained after their trial has expired.

Some people complain that this will create a two-tier system...

Some bonuses include access to the Super Shop Wizard.
