Habbo Club (HC) was an addition for regular Habbo users to buy to upgrade their account and gain access to exclusive features. Habbo Club costed 15 credits, and lasted for one month. There were occasionally deals which offer discounted prices for Habbo Club subscription. Habbo Club was discontinued on the 30th of November 2011 so that Habbo could focus sales on Habbo VIP.
History
Habbo Club was first established in December 17th 2002 at a price of 25 credits, and underwent numerous major changes over the years. The introduction of Gold HC came not long after it was first introduced, in order to add an incentive to those who finished their first year of Habbo Club. Gold HC was issued to a member after 12 months of regular HC membership (the badge received at the beginning of the thirteenth month), and it consisted of a golden variation of the HC badge which had animated sparkles.
The biggest change to the Habbo Club system came in Version 12, which included a whole new series of Habbo Club gifts, increasing the previous rotation from 12 months to 23 months. Upon theaddition of these new gifts, the valuation of Rares went haywire as 12 rares were released simultaneously. For example, the Habbo Butler was valued at several thrones in the first few days. Whilst the prices of these rares have since dropped, they have not lost their charm.
Later on, when Badges were expanded, more stages of Habbo Club badges were added, for each month.

- Four additional dances.
- Five offers on the Marketplace available.
The end of HC as we know it?
HC was removed from Habbo Hotel in late November 2011. Many people were sad or angry this had been taken away because HC (Habbo Club) has been around since the early days of Habbo. Furthermore, HC was a cheap way of getting better features to the standard account because it only cost 15c as opposed to paying 25c to buy a month of VIP.
Trivia
- Originally, the reward for the second month of Habbo club was a unique colour of Plasto (Plastic) furniture, a shade of bright cyan blue. It was infamously unpopular, and as such, was removed as a reward upon the addition of new rewards in Version 12.
- Despite the Habbo Club rewards being in a rotation, it was never possible to gain a second Habbo Club sofa as it was absent from future rotations. The reasoning behind this is unknown, but it may have been an attempt to make it more exclusive, or perhaps to keep it at a stable value as it was an integral part of the Habbo economy.
