- Tinder Select is a $499 monthly subscription that allows users to send messages without matching.
- The company is sending out invitations to exclusive services.
- However, although the website explains five simple criteria, applications are currently closed.
Tinder is expanding access to Select, its $499/month premium subscription service that first launched in September.
For the same price, you can buy a PlayStation 5, a round-trip ticket between New York and London, or a month’s rent on select apartments in Indianapolis.
However, if you have a taste for dating apps and have the money to spare, you may be able to save money on rent with Tinder Select.
At a hefty price of around $6,000 a year, the main feature is the ability to send two direct messages per week to people you aren’t matched with.
This is a controversial addition to the app, which previously required consent from two users before sending a direct message.
Select also allows you to view other users'[いいね!]The tab will unblur your profile.
And your profile will have increased visibility and will appear in the app’s “Most Popular Profiles”.
However, as a “VIP experience,” spots are limited to less than 1% of Tinder users.
According to the app’s website, there are five requirements to apply to Select, and they’re all very simple.
Users must be photo-verified and have a profile that indicates relationship goals and includes four photos, five interests, and a bio of at least 15 characters.
Tinder’s website states that if you meet the 5-point selection screen, you can apply for an elite subscription at tinder.com/SELECT.
However, the site is not currently accepting applications and says, “Please continue to check this page for updated information.”
According to CNN, Tinder is distributing invitations to Select, but it’s unclear how users will be selected for these invitations.
It is also unclear whether everyone who applied at the time of application opening will be accepted. Tinder’s website states that “some accounts may be granted access immediately,” while others undergo a “full account review to ensure compliance with our terms of service.” It is stated that he is scheduled to receive.
A Tinder spokesperson told Business Insider that “members are also evaluated for their past actions within the app.”
So if you haven’t yet received the elusive invitations that have been sent out over the past few months, it looks like you should keep checking the website until applications open. Accepted.
In the meantime, you can spend that $499 on another service like a dating coach or matchmaker.
Or, if you want to keep using the app, Hinge has a $50/month premium subscription that increases user visibility without having to wait for an invite.
