CN Premium Account

On Jan 30, 2019, we rolled out the exciting CN Premium Account. Every CN user has the opportunity to upgrade their regular CN account to a Premium account. 

Features and services the Premium Account offers:

• Premium members' CN ePortfolio receives a higher ranking in the CN Member search results. This provides high visibility for networking and employment. 
• Upload large files up to 1GB/file (right now it is 10MB/file for free users).
• Upload files from Google drive.
• Use the CN email system. You will be able to contact other users from within CN directly. 
• Use your Anar seeds to renew your membership after the first year. Detailed rules will be released later. 
• See who visited your Portfolio including prospective employers. 
• Coming soon: job application tracking, create different versions of your ePortfolio, and more.

Note: the following Premium features are already available to institution users: upload large files up to 1GB/file, upload files from Google drive, use the CN email system.

Price:

We are offering an introductory price of $1/month at this stage. The minimum membership period is 12 months, so you will need to pay $12 to upgrade your account for a full year. This price may increase as we add more advanced features and services to the package. 

Upgrade process:

1. You can upgrade your CN account from multiple places: 

• Click the gray crown icon next to your profile picture 

• If you are a free user, when you try to upload a large file, upload a file from Google Drive or send a CN system email, you will see a prompt similar to the one below:

• When you check who has viewed your ePortfolio:

2. Once you decide to become a Premium member, you will be taken to this payment page:

3. You can use your Paypal account or Credit/Debit card (see number1) or BitPay (see number 2) to complete the transaction. All payment methods are secure and easy to follow. 

*BitPay users may refer to this article for more information: https://support.bitpay.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005701523

You are now a CN Premium member!  

After completing the transaction above, you will be taken back to CN. After a few minutes, the crown icon next to your profile picture will appear gold. It indicates that you are already a CN Premium user. You now have access to all of the Premium features and services! 

Note: Sometimes, it may take 30 seconds to a few munites for your account status to be updated. Please wait a little bit and refresh the page. If you still don't see the status change, please contact help@thecn.com.
