X is now giving away free blue check marks to some users

April 4, 2024

To keep the platform relevant, you can now be given a blue checkmark for free on X, formally known as Twitter, without paying for it.

based on all the confused tweets i’m seeing, it looks like Twitter / X is starting to really ramp up the roll out of this now

To get your gifted checkmark accounts with over 2500 verified subscribers, get Premium for free, and those with 5000 will get Premium Plus for free. The Premium Plus tier does allow you to opt out of ads, boost posts with the most replies, and allow for longer posts.
