One of the most popular dating apps in the country is offering a pricey new premium membership. For $500 a month — or $6,000 annually — Tinder Select promises a five-point screening system for quality and engagement.

According to Zumper, 57% of the Atlanta population is single, and the city is the no. 1 destination for singles to move to, making it a prime market for apps that help singles find love.

This new version of Tinder is available only online at Tinder.com/Select; according to the website, the membership will include:

  • Direct Messages: Up to two times a week, you can send someone a message without having to match first.
  • Skip The Line: People you like will see your profile unblurred in their Likes You grid, even if they don’t have a Gold or Platinum Tinder subscription. Your profile also remains prioritized on their Likes You grid for 7 days.
  • Special Status: Show off your membership with an exclusive SELECT badge. If you’re not interested in adding this badge to your profile, you can opt out in Settings.
  • SELECT Mode: See and be seen by Tinder’s most sought-after profiles so you can enjoy more exceptional connections.
  • VIP Experience: Membership spots are limited to less than 1% of users to ensure you receive the most exclusive experience possible.
  • Early access: Be among the first to test new features.

In addition to shelling out $500 per month, would-be Tinder Select members’ profiles must meet certain requirements, including:

  • Having five interests
  • Having four pictures
  • Having a bio of at least 15 characters
  • Indicating a relationship goal
  • Photo Verified

Those who are approved will receive a notification via email from Tinder with a SELECT unlock code. For more information on how to apply to Tinder Select, visit the website’s help section here.
