The Upgrade to Premium Gift is a tool item. It is represented as a fictionalized, worn-out retail box copy of Team Fortress 2, featuring the Soldier's portrait and a peeling barcode sticker.
When used, it grants the user a premium account, giving them perks such as a 300 slot backpack, access to all crafting recipes, the ability to trade their items to other players, and use text and voice chat (in Valve official servers). Gifting this item to another player gives the sender the Professor Speks.

Update history
- Added Upgrade to Premium Gift to the game.
- Updated the backpack image for the Upgrade to Premium Gift.
- 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.
Notes
- The item description is missing a period at the end.
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.
- The barcode sticker in the backpack icon lacks several identifiable codes around it; while still readable by machine, it becomes useless if damaged.
- There is a very small bit of text under the barcode that says *MAGGOTS*, however, you cannot read this normally due to the small size.[1]
