How do I cancel my subscription?
Just log in to your account and toggle auto-renew off from the subscriptions section.
How do I reset my password?
Passwords are not required for your Political Wire membership account. Instead, visit our sign in form, enter your email address and click “Send sign in link.” We’ll send you an email with a link that you can click to sign in.
If you prefer to create a password for your account, you can do so after you sign up for a membership. If you ever need to reset your password, click this link, enter your email address, and then click “send me reset instructions.”
How do I send someone a gift subscription?
Just click this link to send a gift subscription.
You will be prompted to enter the gift recipient’s name and email address, the delivery date, a personalized message, and your payment information. The gift recipient will receive an email with a link to activate their gift.
Keep in mind that you’re purchasing a one-time annual gift. The gift recipient will be responsible for adding a payment method before the next renewal period if they’d like to continue with the subscription. Your credit card is never attached to their account.
Where can I find members-only posts?
Exclusive posts for members can be found here.
How can I sign up for text alerts?
Text alerts are available for Inner Circle readers by signing up here.
Can I use PayPal to pay for my membership?
Political Wire uses Stripe for payments. They’re a lot like PayPal, but with simpler pricing (no hidden fees), a cleaner interface, and more modern security features that don’t require us to ever see sensitive customer credit card data.
