Did this item remove the old Premium Upgrade System? Old system: "Buy anything from store, get premium".

:No, but this is an option for it. You either receive this from someone, or you buy something from store in order to get premium account. -[[User:Asplode|Asplode]] 04:38, 22 November 2012 (PST)
 
 
 
== Useless? ==
 
 
 
This is kind of useless, because you can get premium for under $1 and this costs way more than that. For Valve, this doesn't matter because they get the exact same amount of money (For Gaben's cheezburgers, obviously) no matter if the player buys this or a Bonk. This is obviously because the minimum amount of money you can add to your Steam wallet is $5 so they get it anyway. Gongratulations, Valve, for making another great way to get money. (Use it on Ep3 or it's not worth it. I love Valve's games but still this is no good.)
 
 
 
'''tl; dr''': Too expensive when compared to the normal premium system.

:Please note that this item is ''giftable'', which means that if you won't/can't upgrade your account by yourself, some of your friends can do it for you. With original system this was impossible. -[[User:Asplode|Asplode]] 05:24, 22 November 2012 (PST)
 
::I totally understand that this might be a good thing for people that can't add Steam money for some reason. Also could be a nice gift for your friends, let's say TF2 + this for example. Still I think the price should be lowered at least a bit. [[User:NEG4tive|Neg]] 05:28, 22 November 2012 (PST)
 
 
 
How do you give this to a F2P account if they can't trade?<small>— ''The preceding unsigned comment was added by'' '''[[User:User:Gear|User:Gear]]''' ([[User talk:User:Gear|talk]]) • ([[Special:Contributions/User:Gear|contribs]]) </small>
 
 
 
@NEG, The minimum amount is 49c, not $5. You can put a 49c weapon in your cart, then when you check out, you get the option to add ONLY the cost of your cart (I used this to clean out the last $20.29 out of my paypal. Took forever to get the cost exactly right, since I wanted to $20 bonus, but couldn't go over $20.29. I managed to get it exact)
 
 
 
@anon, F2P CAN trade -.- [[User:Kinne|Kinne]] 21:13, 23 November 2012 (PST)
 
 
 
: Correction Kinne. F2P Can't trade. They can only trade items GIVEN to them. They cannot trade items they earned themselves. Which gives the question once again. How can a F2P buy this from a trader? They can't unless a friend gives them the items to even buy it. They can't idle, make metal and simply trade. [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] 21:24, 23 November 2012 (PST)
 
::The point behind this item is that it is giftable, which has nothing to do with trading. Anyways, this isn't the place to discuss the price - take your chatter to the [http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=80 forums].

Excuse me but as far as I'm concerned the minimum to spend is $5 because you have to buy it anyways to use this money in the tf2 shop. By the way is this a possible way to activate 2 alts at the same time just by spending $5 instead of $10? I mean if I buy $5 on steam for my 1st alt acc and buy the "upgrade to premium gift" so it becomes premium because of the purchase and then I gift it to the 2nd alt will it work?

should be noted that this will not give the person who uses it a chance to chose who referred them nor does it give the person who gave it to them the Professor Speks.--[[User:Ganomex|Ganomex]] 18:31, 24 November 2012 (PST)

== Contradiction? ==
 
 
 
is it me or are the 2 quote on the page a bit contradictory?
 
* Gifting this item to another player will give the sender the Professor Speks item.
 
* Fixed a bug that would cause some players who used an "Upgrade to Premium" item to be unable to thank another player after upgrading. Accounts that were affected by this bug have been retroactively fixed and will have the option to thank a helpful player automatically next time they log in.
 
from the notes for the {{Patch name|6|10|2013}}, it seems that using an Upgrade to Premium Gift would not guarantee the purchaser the Professor Speks. --[[User:Kincyr|Kincyr]] ([[User talk:Kincyr|talk]]) 20:32, 31 January 2014 (PST)
