X Original Content RewardsEligibility checker
You qualify for X Original Content Rewards with four things at once: active Premium, Premium+ or Premium Business, age 18 or over, 500 verified followers, and 500,000 verified Home Timeline impressions in the prior 90 days with replies excluded. Enrollment opens September 8, 2026. Payouts are biweekly through Stripe and X Money.
Your account
Original posts only. Do not include impressions on replies.
X publishes no minimum account age. This is only used to tell you whether you have a full 90 day measurement window yet.
Result
The dates that matter
Final payout under the old Creator Revenue Sharing program. If your X payouts stop after this date, nothing broke. The program ended. See why did my X payout stop.
Enrollment opens for Original Content Rewards. The 500,000 impression window looks backward at the prior 90 days, so the posting that qualifies you happened before you enrolled.
Payouts, through Stripe and X Money, on qualified impressions from the period.
Frequently asked questions
What are the four gates for X Original Content Rewards?
An active Premium, Premium+ or Premium Business subscription. Account holder aged 18 or over. At least 500 verified followers. At least 500,000 verified Home Timeline impressions in the prior 90 days, with replies excluded. You have to clear all four, not three of four.
When does enrollment open for X Original Content Rewards?
September 8, 2026. The final payout under the old Creator Revenue Sharing program lands September 7, 2026, so the two programs do not overlap. If you were earning under revenue sharing, September 7 is your last payment on the old terms.
Do replies count toward the 500,000 impressions?
No. The threshold counts verified Home Timeline impressions on your original posts. Impressions your replies collected are excluded. This is the single biggest change for accounts that grew by replying under large accounts.
Is there a minimum account age for Original Content Rewards?
X does not publish an account age minimum. This checker asks for account age only to tell you whether you have a full 90 day measurement window yet. An account created 40 days ago cannot show 90 days of impressions, so its first realistic enrollment date is later.
How does X pay Original Content Rewards?
Biweekly, through Stripe and through X Money. Stripe is still a supported payout rail, so an existing Stripe payout account does not become useless. You pick the rail that is available in your country.
Can I be removed from the program after I qualify?
Yes. Reposted or reproduced content does not qualify for payout, and soliciting engagement three or more times gets you removed from the program plus referred for a policy violation. Letting your Premium subscription lapse also ends eligibility.
