The Upgrade to Premium Gift is a tool that appears as a fictionalized, worn-out retail box copy of Team Fortress 2 featuring the Soldier and a peeling barcode sticker. When used, it will grant the user a premium account, giving them perks such as a 300 slot backpack, access to all crafting recipes, and the ability to trade their items to other players. Gifting this item to another player will give the sender the Professor Speks item.

Added Upgrade to Premium Gift to the game.

March 19, 2013 Patch

Updated the backpack image for the Upgrade to Premium Gift.

June 10, 2013 Patch

Fixed a bug that would cause some players who used an "Upgrade to Premium" item to be unable to thank another player after upgrading. Accounts that were affected by this bug have been retroactively fixed and will have the option to thank a helpful player automatically next time they log in.

Trivia

Originally, the Upgrade to Premium Gift used a similar backpack icon as the Backpack Expander, but was tied with a red ribbon instead of leather straps and lacked the Heavy Duty Rag, Description Tag, and Mann Co. Supply Crate Keys.
