Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I don’t use all my Bonus Coins before my subscription renews?
Bonus Coins expire every 30 days from your subscription start date. For example, if you have only used 150 of the 200 Bonus Coins, the remaining 50 Coins will expire at the end of the monthly cycle, and you will receive another 200 Bonus Coins.
This 30-day cycle applies to all plans, including monthly, 6-month and annual plans. To make the most of your subscription, we recommend using all your Bonus Coins. Once unlocked, your selected Wattpad Originals will be available in your Library to read at your own pace.
Can I access a free trial of Premium+?
Wattpadders on iOS devices can try Premium+ free for 7 days. During your free trial, you will receive 20 Bonus Coins, and enjoy all the perks of Premium. When you continue your subscription after the trial, you will receive the remaining 180 Coins available with your Premium+ plan, for a monthly total of 200 Coins. A free trial is currently not available for readers on Android devices.
When does my Bonus Coin balance reset with Premium+?
Your Bonus Coin balance resets monthly on your subscription start date. For example, if you started your subscription on April 15, you will receive your next refill of 200 Bonus Coins on May 15. Bonus Coins are issued monthly on your subscription date, regardless of whether you are on a monthly, bi-annual, or annual plan.

How does my Premium+ subscription support writers?
When you unlock a Wattpad Original with Premium+, we give a portion of your subscription payment to the writer as per our contractual agreements.
Why did Premium+ change from 2 Wattpad Originals/month to 200 Bonus Coins/month?
Premium+ was updated to give subscribers even more value, for the same great price.
- Want to try some more parts before you buy a whole story? Now, get even more choice in how you unlock your favorite Wattpad Originals with Coins—part by part, or the entire story.
- Take advantage of Wattpad Original sales by spending less Coins to unlock the same great stories (previously not applicable to Premium+ unlocks)
- Continue to support Wattpad Original creators, and support even more creators as you can now unlock parts from more than just 2 stories. Everyone wins!
- Plus, get all your usual benefits including zero ad interruptions, unlimited offline stories, and a free monthly curation of 5+ Wattpad Originals with Premium Picks. That’s a LOT of top-tier reads, distraction-free and always with you on the go.
I've subscribed to Premium+ since before June 26, 2024. Why haven’t I received 200 Bonus Coins?
Subscribers who were already on a Premium+ plan prior to June 26, 2024 will receive Bonus Coins when their subscription renews. You must also update your app to version 10.66 or later to transition to receiving Bonus Coins. Until then, you can continue using your Premium+ unlocks to access Wattpad Originals. Please note that these unlocks will expire on the date your subscription renews.
I subscribed to Premium+ after June 26, 2024. Why haven’t I received 200 Bonus Coins?
Please update your app to version 10.66 or later to receive Bonus Coins with your subscription and see a new experience to unlock Wattpad Originals with your Coins.
How will I know when my Bonus Coins will expire?
Your Bonus Coins will expire each month, 30 days after they are issued. You can check your subscription renewal date by going to Profile > Settings > Subscription. For example, if you subscribed to a monthly or annual plan on April 15, your remaining subscription Bonus Coin balance will expire on May 15 and you will receive a refill of 200 Bonus Coins.
Will all my Bonus Coins, including Coins earned from Coin Offers or Video Ads expire on the same date?
Bonus Coins expire 30 days after they are issued. This means earned Bonus Coins will expire 30 days after they are earned, and not necessarily together with your subscription renewal date.
I already have Coins in my wallet. Will they get confiscated if I subscribe to Premium+?
No, any coins in your wallet will remain yours to spend on any Wattpad Originals of your choosing until they expire.
Can I unlock both completed and ongoing stories?
Currently, you can only unlock completed stories.
Is it possible for me to lose access to a Wattpad Original I have unlocked?
You can keep all the Wattpad Originals you have unlocked to read and re-read as you wish, as long as they remain a part of Wattpad Originals. Your access to the story may be revoked if the story is removed from the Wattpad Originals program at the discretion of the writer and/or Wattpad.
I did not like the Wattpad Originals I unlocked with my subscription. Can I swap it with another story?
No. It is not possible to swap one unlocked story with another.
