Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Check Your Current Status and Compare Tiers

(() => {
  'use strict';

  console.log('💎 X PREMIUM — XActions by nichxbt');
  console.log('');

  // Check current status
  const verifiedBadge = document.querySelector('[data-testid="icon-verified"]');
  const premiumLinks = document.querySelectorAll('a[href="/i/premium_sign_up"]');

  if (verifiedBadge) {
    console.log('✅ You appear to have a verified badge (Premium active).');
    console.log('💡 Manage your subscription: x.com/settings/manage_subscription');
  } else {
    console.log('⚠️ No verified badge detected — you may not have Premium.');
  }

  // Tier comparison
  console.log('\n══════════════════════════════════════════════════');
  console.log('💎 X PREMIUM TIER COMPARISON');
  console.log('══════════════════════════════════════════════════\n');

  const tiers = {
    'Basic — $3/mo': [
      'Small blue checkmark',
      'Edit posts (5 per post, within 30 min)',
      'Longer posts (up to 10,000 characters)',
      'Longer video uploads (up to 2 hours)',
      'Bookmark folders',
      'Fewer ads in For You and Following',
    ],
    'Premium — $8/mo': [
      'Everything in Basic',
      'Blue checkmark',
      'Prioritized rankings in replies & search',
      'Half the ads',
      'Creator Subscriptions',
      'Grok AI assistant',
      'Media Studio access',
      'Analytics dashboard',
    ],
    'Premium+ — $16/mo': [
      'Everything in Premium',
      'Largest blue checkmark boost',
      'No ads',
      'Largest reply boost',
      'Write Articles',
      'Revenue sharing eligible',
      'X Pro (TweetDeck) access',
      'Highest priority support',
    ],
  };

  for (const [tier, features] of Object.entries(tiers)) {
    console.log(`\n🏷️  ${tier}`);
    console.log('─'.repeat(40));
    features.forEach(f => console.log(`   ✓ ${f}`));
  }

  console.log('\n══════════════════════════════════════════════════');
  console.log('💡 Annual billing saves ~12% on all tiers.');
  console.log('💡 Subscribe at: x.com/i/premium_sign_up');
})();

Step 2: Navigate to the Signup Page

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

  console.log('🚀 Navigating to Premium signup page...');

  const premiumLink = document.querySelector('a[href="/i/premium_sign_up"]')
    || document.querySelector('nav a[href="/i/premium_sign_up"]');

  if (premiumLink) {
    premiumLink.click();
    console.log('✅ Clicked Premium signup link.');
    await sleep(2000);
  } else {
    console.log('⚠️ No Premium link in sidebar. Navigating directly...');
    window.location.href = 'https://x.com/i/premium_sign_up';
    await sleep(4000);
  }

  // Check for tier options on the page
  const tierElements = document.querySelectorAll('[data-testid="premiumTier"]');
  if (tierElements.length > 0) {
    console.log(`✅ Found ${tierElements.length} tier option(s) on the page.`);
  } else {
    console.log('ℹ️ Tier elements loading... Follow the on-screen prompts.');
  }

  console.log('\n✅ Follow the on-screen prompts to complete your subscription.');

Tips & Tricks

1. Annual billing saves money -- All tiers offer annual billing at approximately 12% discount compared to monthly.

2. Check before subscribing -- The script checks for an existing verified badge so you do not accidentally double-subscribe.

3. Manage existing subscription -- If you already have Premium, manage it at x.com/settings/manage_subscription.

4. Regional pricing -- Prices may vary by country. The signup page will show your local pricing.

5. Trial periods -- X occasionally offers free trial periods for new subscribers. Check the signup page for current promotions.
