Premium Plus and Premium Business users will soon be able to browse and request inactive usernames on the X Handle Marketplace<\/a>. Handles are going to be broken up into two broad categories. Priority handles will be free and \u201coften include full names, multi-word phrases, or alphanumeric combinations.\u201d Rare handles, on the other hand, will be a paid option, and \u201cmay be priced anywhere from $2,500 to over seven figures, depending on demand and uniqueness.\u201d<\/p>\n

X is treating this not as a one-time perk, but as an ongoing service to lure in more paid subscribers. If you secure a new handle, your old one will be frozen. The company says it may eventually offer a redirect option as a paid add-on. But more importantly, if you ever downgrade your X subscription<\/a>, your account will revert back to your original username, and you\u2019ll lose access to the one you snagged through the marketplace.<\/p>\n

The X Handle Marketplace is our industry-first solution to redistribute handles that are no longer in use. <\/p>\n

Eligible Premium subscribers will be able to search and make requests, with both complimentary and paid options available.<\/p>\n
