What is the difference between premium membership and Coins?
Coins unlock individual things — like unlocking the profile of a person who has favorited you, for instance, or unlocking conversations once your free conversation limit has been reached. Premium subscriptions, on the other hand, do not require those functions to be unlocked. Premium subscribers may have unrestricted conversations with other Zooskers, but basic (free) subscribers can purchase coins to have unrestricted conversation with individual Zooskers. Some functions on Zoosk require coins from both premium and basic subscribers. In order to send Gifts to other Zooskers, send a Special Delivery email, or request Delivery Confirmation for emails you send, all members must purchase Coins.
