You can try logging out and logging back in with a different email address or by using Facebook, Google, or Apple.
If you are logged into this site (MinnesotaPBS.org) with the email address you use with Minnesota PBS and don’t see your member information, then contact our Member Services team at 651.229.1300 or [email protected] for assistance.

The renewal window starts four months before your renewal date.
