How to Know if Someone Has LinkedIn Premium

You have two options to detect Premium users:

1. Manually (one by one)

2. At scale using Sales Navigator + GiveMeLeads

Let’s break both down.

Method 1: Manual on LinkedIn

If someone has a Premium account, you’ll usually see a gold “Premium” badge on their profile.

Here's where to look:

• Under their banner image on their profile

• Or next to their name in LinkedIn search results or "More profiles for you" section

But here’s the catch: LinkedIn Premium users can hide this badge.

If you don’t want others to know you have a Premium account, here’s how to disable it:

1. Go to your LinkedIn profile

2. Click the pencil icon on your profile banner (top right)

3. Scroll down to the Premium Profile Badge section

4. Click the toggle to switch it Off

5. Click Save

Once it's off, the badge won’t appear on your profile or next to your name in search results.

💡 Pro tip: Don't worry. Only a small number actually do it, but you’ll miss some if you rely on this method.

Method 2: Find Premium Members with Sales Navigator

You can spot Premium members directly inside Sales Navigator using two methods:

• In the search results: Premium users have a gold “Premium” badge next to their name. Just scroll through your results and look for the badge.

• On their profile: When you open someone’s Sales Navigator profile, you’ll see the badge near their name if they haven’t hidden it.

Want to find Premium users at scale?

Your best bet is combining Sales Navigator with GiveMeLeads.

I’ll walk you through the exact steps to do it. It’s fast, simple, and super effective.

How to Search Premium Members

LinkedIn doesn’t offer a direct filter to find Premium users—not even in Sales Navigator.

But there’s a simple 3-step method you can use to detect them at scale

Step 1: Make a Sales Navigator Search

You can’t filter Premium members directly in Sales Navigator.

LinkedIn intentionally doesn’t include “Premium members” as a search filter.

But don’t worry. There’s a simple workaround to find them.

The first step is to create a list of leads.

To do that, you can use filters like:

• Company size

• Current job title (don't forget to use the boolean operators to narrow down your search)

• Years of experience

• Geography

• And more

📺 If you want to check how to use the boolean operators to find better leads, you can check this video:

You can even leverage LinkedIn Intent Data like:

• Connections of (useful to check the people in the network of your competitors)

• People who posted on LinkedIn recently

• People who viewed your profile recently`

• People who are following your company

Step 2: Export Your Search with GiveMeLeads

Now that your LinkedIn Sales Navigator is ready, it's time to export your leads into a CSV file.

To export the leads and get the information if someone is "Premium Member" or not, you need to use a tool like GiveMeLeads.

You just have to create an account, install the chrome extension if you want (it's not mandatory), and then you can easily export your leads.

You have to wait a few minutes, and then you will be able to identify Premium members.

Finally, click on Download and click on "CSV file".

You will start to download your list of leads.

💡 Pro tip: It works even for people who hide their Premium Badge.

📺 If you want to check how to export your leads from LinkedIn Sales Navigator into a CSV file, you can check this video:

Step 3: Check the Column “is_premium”

In the CSV file, look for the column called “is_premium”.

• If you see "TRUE", the lead is a Premium member

• If you see "FALSE", the lead is NOT a Premium member

From there, you can:

• Prioritize Premium users in your outreach

• Send them messages without wasting InMails

• Focus on profiles that are more likely to engage

Final Thoughts

Now you know exactly how to find and extract LinkedIn Premium users in 2025.

Manual methods work if you’re just browsing. But if you want to go fast and scale your outreach, combine Sales Navigator with GiveMeLeads.

It’s fast, accurate, and gives you the Premium status instantly—so you can focus on what matters: talking to people who are actually active on LinkedIn.

FAQ

Can you see who has LinkedIn Premium?

Yes, but only if they allow it.

LinkedIn Premium users can choose to display a small gold “Premium” badge on their profile. You’ll see it next to their name in search results and under the banner on their profile page.

But here’s the catch: this badge is optional. LinkedIn lets Premium users turn it off, which means you won’t always know who’s upgraded.

So while the badge is a good indicator, it’s not 100% reliable if you're trying to identify Premium users at scale.
