Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: View Gift Tier Options

(() => {
  console.log('🎁 PREMIUM GIFTING - XActions by nichxbt\n');

  console.log('══════════════════════════════════════════════════');
  console.log('🎁 PREMIUM GIFTING INFO');
  console.log('══════════════════════════════════════════════════\n');
  console.log('   Gift tiers available:');
  console.log('   🥉 Basic     — $3/mo (small checkmark, edit posts, longer posts)');
  console.log('   🥈 Premium   — $8/mo (blue checkmark, half ads, Grok, creator tools)');
  console.log('   🥇 Premium+  — $16/mo (no ads, largest boost, X Pro, articles)');
  console.log('');
  console.log('   Duration options:');
  console.log('   📅 1 month');
  console.log('   📅 12 months (annual — saves ~12%)');
  console.log('');
  console.log('   💡 The recipient will be notified of the gift.');
  console.log('   💡 You can gift anonymously if the option is available.');
  console.log('══════════════════════════════════════════════════\n');
})();

Step 2: Open the Gift Flow

Navigate to the recipient's profile first, then paste:

(async () => {
  const sleep = (ms) => new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, ms));

  console.log('🎁 GIFT PREMIUM - XActions by nichxbt\n');

  // Detect username from URL
  const match = window.location.pathname.match(/^\/([^/]+)\/?$/);
  const username = match ? match[1] : null;

  if (!username) {
    console.error('❌ Not on a user profile page.');
    console.log('💡 Navigate to a user profile: x.com/username');
    return;
  }

  console.log(`👤 Target user: @${username}`);

  // Check if they already have Premium
  const verifiedIcon = document.querySelector('[data-testid="icon-verified"]');
  if (verifiedIcon) {
    console.log('ℹ️ This user already has a verified badge.');
    console.log('💡 You can still gift them a subscription extension.');
  } else {
    console.log('✅ No verified badge — great gift candidate!');
  }

  await sleep(1000);

  // Try direct gift button
  const giftBtn = document.querySelector('[data-testid="giftPremium"]');
  if (giftBtn) {
    giftBtn.click();
    console.log('✅ Clicked Gift Premium button.');
    console.log('💡 Follow the on-screen prompts to select tier and pay.');
    return;
  }

  // Try the three-dot menu
  console.log('🔄 Checking profile menu...');
  const moreBtn = document.querySelector('[data-testid="userActions"]');

  if (moreBtn) {
    moreBtn.click();
    await sleep(2000);

    const menuItems = document.querySelectorAll('[role="menuitem"]');
    let giftOption = null;

    for (const item of menuItems) {
      const text = item.textContent.toLowerCase();
      if (text.includes('gift') && text.includes('premium')) {
        giftOption = item;
        break;
      }
    }

    if (giftOption) {
      giftOption.click();
      console.log('✅ Clicked "Gift Premium" from menu.');
      console.log('💡 Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the gift.');
    } else {
      console.log('⚠️ "Gift Premium" option not found in menu.');
      console.log('📋 Available menu options:');
      menuItems.forEach((item, i) => {
        console.log(`   ${i + 1}. ${item.textContent.trim()}`);
      });

      // Close menu
      document.dispatchEvent(new KeyboardEvent('keydown', { key: 'Escape', bubbles: true }));
      await sleep(500);

      // Fallback: direct navigation
      console.log(`\n🔄 Trying direct navigation...`);
      window.location.href = `https://x.com/i/premium_sign_up?gift=${username}`;
    }
  } else {
    // No menu button — navigate directly
    console.log('🔄 Navigating to gift flow...');
    window.location.href = `https://x.com/i/premium_sign_up?gift=${username}`;
  }

  // Log gift attempt
  try {
    const gifts = JSON.parse(sessionStorage.getItem('xactions_premium_gifts') || '[]');
    gifts.push({ username, initiatedAt: new Date().toISOString() });
    sessionStorage.setItem('xactions_premium_gifts', JSON.stringify(gifts));
  } catch (e) {}
})();

Expected Console Output

🎁 GIFT PREMIUM - XActions by nichxbt

👤 Target user: @friend
✅ No verified badge — great gift candidate!
🔄 Checking profile menu...
✅ Clicked "Gift Premium" from menu.
💡 Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the gift.

Gift to a Specific Username (Without Navigating First)

(async () => {
  const targetUsername = 'friend';  // Set the username here

  console.log(`🎁 Gifting Premium to @${targetUsername}...`);

  // Navigate to their profile
  if (!window.location.pathname.includes(`/${targetUsername}`)) {
    window.location.href = `https://x.com/${targetUsername}`;
    console.log(`🚀 Navigating to @${targetUsername}'s profile...`);
    console.log('💡 Re-run the gift script after the page loads.');
    return;
  }

  // Or go directly to the gift flow
  window.location.href = `https://x.com/i/premium_sign_up?gift=${targetUsername}`;
  console.log('✅ Opening gift flow...');
})();

Tips & Tricks

1. Direct URL shortcut -- You can skip the profile page entirely by navigating to x.com/i/premium_sign_up?gift=USERNAME.

2. Anonymous gifting -- If the option is available in the gift flow, you can send the gift anonymously.

3. Existing subscribers -- You can gift Premium to someone who already has it. This extends their subscription period.

4. Gift tracking -- The script saves gift attempts to sessionStorage for your records during the session.

5. Best gift tier -- Premium ($8/mo) is the most popular gift tier as it includes the blue checkmark, Grok AI, and creator tools without the higher Premium+ price.
