What is the new Premium Plus Subscription Tier?
Premium Plus Without Stipend is a new subscription option that gives you all the perks of Premium Plus—like expanded groups, bigger land allowances, and exclusive experiences—but without the weekly L$ stipend or signup bonus.
This new version is offered at a lower price for those who want the Premium Plus benefits but don’t want or need a stipend.
Why would I choose Premium Plus Without Stipend over regular Premium Plus?
If you want all the Premium Plus features at a more affordable price—and don’t rely on the weekly L$ payments—this plan is for you. It’s especially appealing if you’re here for land, groups, or experiences, but prefer to get L$ on your own schedule.

As of October 2025, Premium Plus Without Stipend memberships cost:
- Monthly: $15.99/month
- Annual: $143.88/year ($11.99/month billed annually)
Do I still get Linden Homes, expanded land, and other Premium Plus perks?

- Up to 2048m² of land allowance
- Access to Premium Plus Linden Homes
- Up to 150 groups
- Bigger upload limits and free uploads
- Exclusive Premium Experiences
- Priority support and live chat assistance

What happens when I switch between Premium Plus with stipend and Premium Plus Without Stipend?
- Moving between Premium Plus with stipend and Premium Plus without stipend are both treated as an upgrade.
- Changes will take effect immediately.
- If moving to the “without stipend” option, your L$ stipend payments will stop immediately.
- If moving to the “with stipend” option, your L$ stipend payments will start immediately.
- When you switch, we will pro-rate your subscription using the following rules:
- If you have time left on an existing subscription, your new membership's renewal date will be adjusted to a later date based on the prorated daily rate of your remaining membership.
- If your existing membership has remaining time but not enough to fully cover the cost of your new membership, you'll get a discount on your new membership based upon the existing time left in your current subscription level.
Does this mean I get a refund if I switch from standard Premium Plus to Premium Plus Without Stipend?
No, you don't receive a refund for any remaining time on your standard Premium Plus membership if you switch to Premium Plus Without Stipend. Instead, your new Premium Plus Without Stipend membership is extended automatically (giving you more time on your membership before it renews again) based on how much time is left on your pre-existing Premium Plus membership. You will not receive a refund or account 'credit' in US Dollars (USD).
