Your account settings let you update your profile, change your password, view billing information, choose how you receive emails, and unsubscribe from emails you no longer want. This page walks through each settings area step by step.
Profile (Name, Email, Contact Info)
- Log in and open your account menu, then choose Settings → Profile (or go to https://portal.uibeta.org/account/settings/profile).
- Update your First Name, Last Name, or Phone.
- Click Save Changes.
Your profile is used for confirmations, class and event communications, and account identification.
Changing your email
Your email is shown on the Profile page but cannot be edited there. To change it, contact Upstate International staff. If you are asked to verify your address, click the link in the verification email; a link sent to an old address will not verify a new one.
Security (Changing Your Password)
- Log in, open your account menu, choose Settings, then open Security (or go to https://portal.uibeta.org/account/settings/security).
- Enter your current password and then your new password (and confirm it), as required by the form.
- Click Save or Change password.
Use a strong password that you do not use elsewhere. After you change it, you must use the new password to log in.
Billing (Viewing Billing Info)
- Log in and go to My Account → Settings → Billing (or https://portal.uibeta.org/account/settings/billing).
- You can view the billing information we have on file (for example the payment method used for your membership or renewals). If the site allows updating payment details, you will see an option to do so there.
If you need to change how you pay or update a card, use the options on that page or contact staff.
Recurring Gift and Payment Method (Account Owners)
If you are the account owner and this account has a recurring gift, two extra rows appear on the Settings hub (https://portal.uibeta.org/account/settings):
| Row | What it is for | Link |
|---|---|---|
| Recurring gift | Amount, frequency, and stop or keep this gift | Manage your gift → opens https://portal.uibeta.org/account/giving |
| Payment method | Card on file for your recurring gift | Update card → opens https://portal.uibeta.org/account/settings/payment-method |
Gift management is owner-only. From Recurring gift you can use Change my gift, Stop this gift, and Keep my gift. From Payment method you update the card that charges the gift. See Giving for the full steps.
These rows do not appear for family members, or for owners who do not have a recurring gift.
Notifications (Email Preferences)
- Log in, open your account menu, choose Settings, then open Notifications (or go to https://portal.uibeta.org/account/settings/notifications).
- Adjust your preferences (for example which emails you want: class reminders, event confirmations, membership reminders, or marketing messages). Check or uncheck the options as shown.
- Click Save to keep your choices.
These settings control what kinds of email you receive from Upstate International. You can turn some types off without unsubscribing from everything.
Unsubscribing from Emails
If you want to stop receiving certain emails, you can use the unsubscribe link in an email or manage preferences in settings.
From an email:
- Open one of the emails you want to stop receiving.
- Scroll to the bottom and click the Unsubscribe link.
- You will be taken to a page (for example https://portal.uibeta.org/unsubscribe/... with a unique token) where you can choose what to unsubscribe from.
- You can unsubscribe by category (for example only marketing emails) or from all emails. Select your choice and confirm.
- Your preferences are saved. You will no longer receive the types you turned off.
If you change your mind: Open your account menu → Settings → Notifications and turn the types of email you want back on, or contact staff and ask to be resubscribed.
