Award packs add a one-time supply of Awards to your account. Use them when you want more ways to thank people for useful contributions without starting or changing an Abo.
Awards are quick, item-level appreciation. Medals are rare, lasting recognition with their own rules; buying an Award pack does not buy Medals.
Choose a Pack
Open Premium and select Awards. Move the pack selector to compare the amount and displayed one-time price:
The selected card changes with the pack size. Check both the number of Awards and the price before continuing to checkout; a larger selection is a larger one-time top-up, not a recurring allowance.
Compare the quantity and one-time price before continuing.
Keep Top-ups Separate from Monthly Awards
Contributor supplies 10 monthly Awards and Coordinator supplies 25. Those subscription allowances refresh at renewal rather than accumulating unused Awards from every month.
Purchased Awards are a separate spendable balance. An Award pack does not upgrade your Abo, renew every month, or appear in the recurring monthly estimate on Manage Subscription. You can buy a pack while keeping Free, provided purchasing is available.
Confirm the New Balance
After a successful purchase, review the confirmation for the selected pack and choose Confirm. Then open My awards and check the available balance before giving an Award.
If you already had Awards, the balance may contain more than the pack you just bought. Check the change in context rather than expecting the whole balance to equal the latest pack size. Giving Awards still follows the supported actions and rules of the item you are appreciating.
Common Questions
Will a pack renew automatically?
No. Each pack is a one-time purchase.
Do I need Contributor or Coordinator?
No. Those Abos provide their own monthly allowances, but a pack is independent.
Why is the pack missing from my monthly total?
Manage Subscription estimates recurring products. One-time Award purchases are intentionally separate.
What if checkout is unavailable?
An unavailable notice means the purchase has not started. Return later rather than treating the selected pack as added to your balance.
