The New Discord Gifting Badge: How to Get It
Discord has introduced a brand-new profile badge that rewards members for gifting Nitro to friends and supporting the community. Unlike previous profile badges, the new Gifting Badge levels up over time as you continue gifting eligible subscriptions.
Whether you gift Nitro occasionally or regularly support your friends, this guide explains everything you need to know.
What Is the Discord Gifting Badge?
The Gifting Badge is a profile badge awarded to users who purchase eligible Nitro gifts for other Discord users.
As you continue gifting, your badge upgrades through several tiers, eventually reaching the highest rank: Legend.
Unlike limited-time event badges, this one represents your long-term support of the Discord community.
How Do You Unlock It?
Unlocking the badge is simple:
- Purchase a Nitro gift.
- Send the gift to another Discord user.
- Once you've reached the first gifting milestone, the badge automatically appears in your profile.
- Continue gifting to level it up.
Only eligible Nitro gifts count toward badge progression.
Every Gifting Badge Tier
Discord currently features multiple badge tiers based on your gifting progress.
| Tier | Description |
|---|---|
| 🎁 Patron | First milestone |
| 🎁 Champion | Intermediate supporter |
| 🎁 Luminary | Frequent gifter |
| 🎁 Icon | High-level supporter |
| 👑 Legend | Maximum badge tier |
The appearance of the badge changes as you reach higher milestones.
Where Does the Badge Appear?
Once unlocked, the badge appears in several places:
- Your Discord profile
- User profile pop-outs
- Member list profile cards
- User profile modal
Anyone viewing your profile will be able to see your current badge tier.
