Frequently Asked Questions
As questions come up repeatedly, we’ll put FAQs here in an effort to answer them. Please check here for answers to your problem before contacting your chapter.
WEBSITE LOGIN ISSUES:
PLEASE DO NOT USE USERNAMES TO LOG INTO THE WEBSITE. ALWAYS USE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS.
I requested a password reset but I didn't receive it.
There are a few reasons why this might happen:
- If your email is NOT in the website database, you will NOT receive a password reset. That makes sense because if that wasn’t the case, anyone could request a password reset. If this is the case, you’ll need to contact your chapter.
- Check your spam folder. The reset might be in there.
- If neither of the above is true, it’s possible that your email provider has blocked our email that sends you the reset. You should try whitelisting our website email: webadmin@bellpensionersgroup.ca
If that doesn’t solve your issue, the best next step would be to discuss this with your email provider to see if they are blocking the email. As well, you can contact your chapter and they can reset your password for you.
I received my password reset email but when I went to the website all I saw was a blank blue screen.
The most likely reason for this is that your password reset email ‘timed-out’. You should try having another sent and make sure you try to do the reset quickly i.e. as soon as the email comes to you.
In my member account information, I see two active subscriptions. How come and am I being billed twice?
If you see two active subscriptions like the one below, please do not worry about this! You are not being billed twice and this will not cause you any issues. It’s simply a duplicate data entry in the website database.
If you see one active and one inactive subscription, that is likely because you converted to using your credit card and previously had paid by cheque or EMT. Again, this is nothing to worry about.
IF on the other hand, you do not see at least one active subscription, that means you will NOT have access to the members portal. This could be because you paid by cheque or e-transfer and that processing has not been completed yet (cheque received, cheque deposited, cheque cleared, data sent to coordinator, data uploaded to website).
I tried to login but my login was greyed out.
We’ve seen one user who had this problem while using Firefox for his browser. What’s interesting is that his user information was populated in the email and password fields already, likely auto-populated by his browser password manager. He was stuck from there.
To solve this, we asked him to check the box ‘Save my password’ and to then press “Enter” (or “Return”). This logged the user in.
You can always tell if you are logged in (or not) by checking in the upper right hand corner of the website. If it says “Logout”, then you are currently logged in.. If it says “Login”, then that means you are currently logged out.
