Premium Bot: Telegram Premium deals

Wanted Telegram Premium for ages but paying through an app store is awkward or pricey? Premium Bot sorts it out right in the chat: subscribe or buy a gift with a discount of up to 40% 🎁.

The bot handles buying a Telegram Premium subscription and Stars. There is little else in it, and that is good: less confusion.

Six commands that make up the bot

• /start. Telegram Premium subscription.
• /upgrade. Switch to an annual subscription.
• /gift. Gift Premium to loved ones.
• /stars. Buy or gift Stars ⭐.
• /giveaway. Prepay a Premium giveaway.
• /stars_giveaway. Prepay a Stars giveaway.

Giveaways help channel owners: you can hand Premium or Stars to subscribers, and Telegram picks winners by the conditions you set.

Where the discount comes from

The discount of up to 40% applies to the annual plan: for a long term Telegram offers a lower price than monthly billing. Paying in the bot also usually avoids app store fees.

Exact amounts depend on region and change, so check the price in the bot before paying. Do not rely on old screenshots 💳.

What Premium gives you

The subscription adds extended limits, features such as bigger uploads and other perks that Telegram expands from time to time. Open the app settings for the full list.

For everyday chatting Premium is optional. Decide by asking if you need those limits.

Subscribing without mistakes

1. Open the bot only by its exact profile name, with no extra characters.
2. Press /start and choose a term.
3. Check the price and currency on the invoice.
4. Pay and confirm that Premium switched on in the settings.

If you are gifting, make sure you picked the right recipient. A gift cannot be returned, like any digital purchase.

Clones and resellers ⚠️

Clones always swim around the official bot. They copy the name and avatar, promise "even cheaper" and ask for prepayment to a card.

• Never pay by transfer to a person. Payment goes through a Telegram invoice.
• Never share a login code. Nobody needs it for a purchase.
• Beware of "account sales". It is a common scheme.

The subscription renews automatically, so work out how to turn that off in advance. Do it before the first payment.

Stars: what they are and how to handle them

Stars are Telegram's in-app currency. They pay for digital goods inside mini apps and bots and are used to send gifts. Buying through the bot helps when your balance runs short.

Buy only as much as you plan to spend soon. Extra Stars on a balance earn nothing, and turning them back into money is usually not possible 💫.

If someone asks you to buy Stars and hand them to a stranger "for a service", stop. That is how scams work.

In a family it helps to agree who spends how much. For a teenager, a fixed amount is better than access to your card.
