reddit gold has always been a great way for redditors to get more awesomeness out of their experience while simultaneously helping to support our site. Initially, we used it as a platform to give our monocle-clad members new features, like comment highlighting and your own personal butler, but a few weeks ago we started expanding into the new territory of offsite deals and sweet offers.
Current gold members should already be familiar with our recent introduction of gold partners, and the response was so impactful that we’ve been steadily hearing from more and more companies who want to give gold members new perks. We’ve handpicked the best ones, and we’re looking for feedback on what you think. That brings us to...
/r/goldbenefits
Introducing /r/goldbenefits! It's the best way to keep track of all of the latest and greatest features, partners, suggestions, and discussions about all-things reddit gold. Admins and gold members alike can create posts and comment on existing topics, while all users are free to subscribe to the subreddit to see what’s new and cool with reddit gold. We really hope we’ll get a lot of solid feedback from the community, so we can continue to shape reddit gold into something worth loving .
The new partners deals are already up, so if you’ve got gold, check them out here. But here’s the quick list:
Backblaze - 3 months of unlimited backup and cloud storage from our World Backup Day buddies.
Urbilis - $10 off any $50+ purchase. Elegant gardening solutions, and some radical obscure stuff, too.
Empire Mayo - 15% off all purchases. This is mayonnaise fit for the royalty of reddit gold. Seriously, who doesn’t want a BBLT?
Goldbely - $20 off any $50+ purchase. Goldbely is all about sending legendary local gourmet food straight to your door. They will literally ship you edible, gold-plated bacon.
Uniqlo - We’re trying something interesting for this one. Once a week, a randomly-selected reddit gold member will receive a private message (so keep an eye on your reddit mailbox) in the form of a “Golden Tikkit”. (See what we did there?) That user will have 24 hours to claim their prize, which will always be something really cool and totally free. This week, Uniqlo is offering a small token of their appreciation to one lucky goldie, but we won’t know what it is until they get it! (Hopefully they'll post it to /r/goldbenefits!)
Our main goal is to give our honored gold members some extra, but completely optional stuff. This list is just getting started, and we’re really excited to bring you guys some real-life benefits to your golden membership. But we want your help! Give us feedback on our current features and deals in /r/goldbenefits, and tell us what you want out of reddit gold in the future. You guys rock, and it’s our job to make sure you keep loving reddit gold.
PS: Have you all activated your multi beta yet? For anyone who missed the last blog post, you seriously need to check out multireddits. /u/chromakode has been way too modest; multis are unfathomably awesome, and have completely changed the way I’ve been using reddit. This is definitely the biggest evolution to reddit we’ve seen since subreddits, and totally worth checking out.
