Neopets Premium
Written by: luckystar101
You have probably heard about Neopets premium before but don’t exactly know what to expect in it. This article aims to inform you about what you get when you sign up for the premium service.
Neopets premium is released to a limited number of people each day. You can obtain it by visiting www.premium.Neopets.com and if you’re lucky there may be a place open. It costs $7.99 U.S a month or $69.95 U.S a year. With both packages comes a 15 day trial so if you don’t like it within those 15 days you can cancel your subscription.
Neopets Premium offers a Portal page, Web mail, Neopets toolbar,
a message board just for premium users and you also get to experince no ads at the top of every page. You are also given a scratch card once a week; these scratch cards are only available to premium users. As a premium user you will become an official Neopets beta tester that lets you test and send feedback on stuff that Neopets plans to release to the public.
Below you can see a screen shot of the Portal page with a few descriptions of each section of the Portal page.

You can also change the theme of your portal page.
When you sign up for premium you can download the Neopets toolbar. You can see a screenshot of the toolbar below.
As you can see the Neopets tool bar comes with a link to the portal page, a link to Neopets.com, a link to your Neopets web mail and a link to all you frequently visited websites(not necessarily Neopets sites.) What you can't see is that when you click the down arrow where it says Neopets you have easy access to all your dailies such as auctions, shops, games room, neoboards, news, tombola and the giant omelette. The thing that I find funny is that when I play plushie tycoon the pop up blocker blocks the pop up’s that a generated by this game.
As I mentioned when you become a premium user you become a Neopets beta tester. Things that have been able to be tested by beta testers so far includes Faerie Caves 2 and a lost desert scratch card kiosk that is no longer available for testing nor has it been released to the public.
With the Neopets webmail you get your own email address e.g yourusername@neopets.com and also when you get neopets premium you get the “I love neomail� avatar if you don’t already have it.
It Is also believed but unconfirmed that you get more random events by just visiting Neopets.
I hope that this article has made it clear on what the premium service offers.
