Neopets Premium

Premium Perks

No Advertisements

All the ads you'd normally see around the site will vanish. As a Premium Member, you'll never see another advert or sponsor spot—that includes banners and preloaders. (Any sponsor activities, like hunts for item prizes, will still be available.)

Never again!

Premium Toolbar & Portal

A toolbar will become available at the bottom of every page when viewing the classic site. It includes many of the features explained in the next sections here: the Super Shop Wizard, a special Premium Featured Game, dailies links, your Bankroll, link to the Customisation Journal, Species Change, Space Faerie Scratchcard redemption, a link to your Premium Neodeck, a link to the Premium Neoboards, and a link to the Premium FAQ.

The Bankroll will show you all of your Neopoints in the bank and in your shop till. It will also sum those up to get your "Total NP", which includes your bank account balance, your shop till balance, and your on-hand Neopoints (as displayed in the top right corner of the page).

When viewing any of the Beta site pages, a Premium button will remain on the menu bar near the top right with a star icon, and clicking it will redirect to a new Premium Portal page.

This page contains many of the same features as the toolbar: the Super Shop Wizard, link to the Customisation Journal, a link to your Premium Neodeck, Space Faerie Scratchcard redemption, a special Premium Featured Game, and Species Change. (Since the dailies links are gone, try using our dailies service!) It also shows a preview of your pets, and a Bankroll section outlining your total NP, bank balance, shop til amount, and a summary of and link to your stocks.

Premium and Charter Neoboards

There are six Premium-only Neoboards. Three of them are available right away - Help, Main Hall, and Spotlights and Games. The other three - Charter: Main, Charter: NC Mall, and Charter: Trading/Auctions - are only available once you've been a Premium Member for four months or have paid for a 4-month or annual membership. Because access to these boards is limited, they're quieter and more relaxed than most of the Neoboards, but that doesn't mean they don't see some really interesting conversations and a strong sense of community. They make a nice place to hang out and chat about Neopian life with other Premium subscribers.

Premium Avatar and Site Theme

You'll automatically receive the "Premium Space Faerie" avatar and the "Space Faerie Premium" site theme. Both the avatar and site theme count as default ones, rather than "secret" ones, and disappear if you cancel Premium.

Premium Space Faerie / Guide

As of 2012, this avatar is automatically awarded to those with Premium service. Quitting Neopets Premium will cause this avatar to disappear; it will reappear if you sign up again. Prior to 2012, this was earned by referring a certain amount of paying people to Premium Neopets.

Because it counts as a default avatar, this avatar does not increase the avatar count on your user lookup or count for the Avatar Collector high score table.

Released: June 29, 2005

Space Faerie Charm

The Space Faerie Charm, like the Lutari Talisman, is not a virtual item. It appears on your userlookup among the Site Feature trophies. This valuable trinket can double the Neopoints you earn from Flash games when you send your score. (Yes, this means you can earn more than 1,000 NP from a game, if the doubled score is high enough. If you send a score for 1,000 NP on the Featured Game, you may even get 4,000 NP!) The charm activates randomly, though; you can't choose which Flash game it activates for, and it doesn't differentiate between a high-scoring game and a low-scoring one. This doubling occurs prior to any additional Neopoint bonus granted by your Lutari Talisman.

I'm so mystical!

Premium Cards

You'll notice a new addition to your Neodeck—a section called "Premium Cards". These aren't items you can sell or trade; they're just exclusive little pieces of art you can show off that measure how long you've been Premium. They're often themed around the name of the Neopian month in which they were awarded, and you can see a collection of them in our Image Emporium.

There's nothing like some Sunday afternoon playtime in February!

There were additional yearly cards awarded for continuous membership for any (or all) of the first four years of premium. You can view these anniversary cards here. TNT has confirmed that these were discontinued after Premium Year 4, even though cards for years 5-7 were located.

Additional Random Events

Premium has its own Random Events. Just as Random Events pop up while you're browsing the main site, so do Premium Random Events. (It is even possible to get both a regular random event and a Premium one on the same page.)

Unlike the regular kind, Premium random events are always good, though they are much more limited in variety. You will either receive a random amount of NP (1,000 to 2,500) or have a random item up to r75 fall into your lap.

Space Faerie Scratchcards

Every Friday, you will receive a special Space Faerie Scratchcard. This isn't a regular item, so you can't sell or trade it, and it doesn't affect your ability to purchase other scratchcards around Neopia. You can access the Scratchcard by clicking the Space Faerie Scratchcard link on the middle right of your toolbar.

For more information on the Space Faerie Scratchcards and possible prizes, check out our dedicated guide:

Space Faerie Scratchcard Guide »

Space Faerie Vending Machine

Premium members will also have access to the Space Faerie Vending Machine. The no-trade token could be found very rarely from the Space Faerie Scratchcards, but has not been awarded since June 2013.

Premium Featured Game

In addition to the regular Featured Game, every day Premium members have an additional Featured Game that can be played for double NP. Clicking on the Featured Game spot on your Premium Toolbar will allow you to view the game for the day; it also gives a link to the game itself.

Occasionally the Premium Featured Game and the regular Featured Game will be the same game. Unfortunately, the bonus does not stack: you will only receive double NP.

As a note, only Flash-based games are offered as Featured Games (no HTML5 options), and since the Flash games offered may or may not work with Ruffle, you may experience mixed results on being able to take advantage of this perk.

Increased Score Sends

On February 10, 2025, TNT increased the number of daily score sends from 3 to 4 for Premium users only. This perk is present for all Flash and HTML5 games, and is the first time in the site's history that the number of score sends has been adjusted!

Increased Wheel Spins

In November 2024, the Wheel of Celebration debuted as for Neopets' 25th Anniversary. This marked the start of a new Premium perk—bonus wheel spins. Premium users were granted an immediate second spin on the wheel, no strings attached. Non-Premium users could choose to watch an advertisement in order to receive a second spin. Due to glitches and technical difficulties, this perk was turned off after 72 hours and all users were granted an ad-free second spin.

Permanent Implementation

On January 27, 2025, this perk returned and was debuted for the Wheel of Knowledge.

On Feburary 10, 2025, the second-spin perk was expanded to include the Wheel of Excitement, Wheel of Mediocrity, and Wheel of Misfortune. It is not currently availble on the Wheel of Extravagance or the Wheel of Monotony.

Dailies Panel

The Premium Toolbar includes a "Dailies" spot that allows you to add, order, and customise your dailies routine. Clicking on the spot will bring up a small window in which you can select a daily, rearrange your dailies (by clicking on the lock icon), and manage your dailies (by clicking on the cog icon).

To add or modify which dailies options you have, click on the cog icon. A page of popular dailies will appear, organized by land. You also have the option of choosing five custom dailies that are not on the page.

To rearrange your dailies, simply click on the lock icon to "unlock" it, and move your modules on the dailies window around!

Extra Gallery Categories

Normally, you're allowed to create up to 20 different categories for your gallery to divide up your items. However, while you're a Premium member, you can create up to 30 categories. This perk became available on August 1, 2018.

This perk does not affect the upgrade cost for your gallery.

If your Premium cancels or expires after you have made more than 20 categories in your gallery, you continue to keep the extra categories without issue! You can even continue to edit their names and assign items to them as normal. They will continue to work as normal unless you delete them. However, you will not be able to create any additional categories.

Customisation Journal

The Journal became available to Premium members on August 1, 2018. It allows you to take a snapshot of any of your Neopets on a given day to save an image of their current customisation. You can then write a short description, and have it on display for other Neopians to view.

The Journal is accessible from the Premium Neopets bar at the bottom of every page. If you have the bar disabled, you can also access the Journal from your userlookup (it's located under where the NC Mall Album would normally exist).

You may make up to 6 entries per day. Each entry you make can have a custom title and description, and it will automatically record the colour and species of your Neopet, along with a list of the current clothes it is wearing. The list of clothing is accessible by clicking "Petinfo" under each entry.

Free Species Change

Once a year, Premium members have access to change the species of any one of their Neopets. This perk is only available once per 365 days per account. That means that if you sign up for Premium for 1 month in November and then cancel, you cannot sign up for another month in January to use the perk again. You will need to wait a full 365 days—down to the second—to use the perk on your account again.

Using the perk is simple. Select your Neopet that you would like to change, and then select the new species that you could like to convert it into. When you make the change, the colour that your Neopet currently is will transfer over. For example, if you currently have a Mutant Grundo and you wish to change the species to an Acara, you will get a Mutant Acara.

If the colour of species you wish to change into does not exist, then you will have the option to select an entirely new colour. The list of available colours does not have any restrictions like the Rainbow Fountain.

When this perk was first released, you could not use this perk to change your Neopet into a Draik or Krawk. However, starting on August 30, 2024, all species were made available through this perk.

Of particular note, this means that you can create an Ice Bori, which was only available for a limited time in 2004. To do this, you will need to paint your existing Neopet that you wish to change into a colour that is not available to Bori. (Check out our Rainbow Pool for list of colours that Bori cannot be painted.)

Make sure you research beforehand to confirm that Bori still lack a particular colour—they receive new options every year in October for Bori Day! At the time of writing, Sketch is not available to Bori, so if you took a Sketch pet to change into a Bori, you would have the option to create an Ice Bori. Scritchy Sketchy Paint Brush tends to be very cheap as it is an occasional prize from Tarla's Non-Toolbar Treasures.

The perk became extra useful on March 26, 2025, when it was made the exclusive method for obtaining a Varwolf. TNT has promised to make the Varwolf widely available to all players in summer 2025, but until then, the Premium species change perk is the only way!

Space Faerie Quests

On March 15, 2019, it was revealed in editorial 859 that Space Faerie quests are only available to Premium users. This was previously unconfirmed by any official sources. For more information on the Space Faerie's quests, see our Faerie Quests guide.

Premium Boons

Certain factions give the opportunity of activating the Full Pockets boon or the Premium Dreamium boon if you side with them and they emerge victorious from the Battleground of the Obelisk. The Full Pockets boon awards you additional Neopoints when scratching a Space Faerie Scratchcard. The Premium Dreamium boon allows you to send 4 scores per day on the Premium Featured Game, instead of 3. (Or more generally, +1 score sends if there are any gaming events that allow more than 3 game sends.)

Birthday Training

In February 2013, TNT confirmed in an editorial question that, in addition to free training on their respective pet days, Premium subscribers can bring their pets to the Swashbuckling Academy on the pet's personal birthday for free training as well. To check your pet's 'official' birthday, simply go to their pet lookup, and ensure that - if you're in a different time zone - you're matching the date to NST.

Neolodge

As of March 5, 2025, Premium users are able to book their pets into the Neolodge for 90 day stays, an increase over the normal 28 day limit.

Extra Lab Zaps

As of March 17, 2025, Premium users receive an extra daily zap for both the Lab Ray and the Petpet Lab Ray, for a total of 2 zaps per day. This perk does stack with Lab Ray Fortune Cookies, which grant additional zaps on the standard Lab Ray only, allowing Premium users to have up to 5 zaps per day.

Bonus Daily Quest

As of March 24, 2025, Premium users receive a sixth daily quest, which currently will be the third pet care quest ("Customise", "Feed", or "Groom") that was not included in your first five Daily Quests. The quest will appear at the bottom of the list with a special Premium icon in the background and a gold outline.

Occasional Perks

Naturally, it's impossible to know what TNT are going to think up next, and from time to time they may award an extra perk that doesn't fall into any of the above categories.

In 2008, the Floating Space Faerie Doll was made available for free to all active Premium Members in a limited-time promotion at the NC Mall.

In October 2017, all active Premium members received a special Goodie Bag to celebrate the expansion of pet slots (Note: the extra pet slot made available on this date was available to all users, and was not a Premium-exclusive.)

In December of 2018 and 2020, all active Premium members received a special end-of-year thank you gift.
