Does my membership renew automatically?

Yes. Memberships renew each year using the card on file. Your renewal date is shown in the Member Center.

How do I cancel?

You can cancel from your account at any time, and your membership won’t renew. Go to My Account and choose Cancel. Questions? Email [email protected].

Do you offer refunds?

Yes. Every membership comes with a money-back guarantee. If PEP isn’t worth it to you, email [email protected] and you’ll get your money back. No questions. Since 2007, four members have asked.

Can I upgrade to a higher level?

Yes, whenever you like. Choose the higher level on the Membership page and check out.

My card was declined or has expired

If your card expires or is declined, your renewal can’t go through and your access may lapse. Update your card in the Member Center. If a renewal has already failed, email [email protected] and we’ll sort it out.

How do I get a receipt for my expense report?

Every payment has a printable receipt in the Member Center under Receipts.

Do you offer group memberships?

Yes. Firms enrolling three or more people save 25%. Use the calculator on the Membership page, then email [email protected] to set it up.

Can my company pay by invoice?

Email [email protected] and we’ll arrange it.

Your account

My password or username doesn’t work

Your username is usually the email address you joined with. Reset your password here; the email arrives within a few minutes, so check spam if you don’t see it.

Still locked out? Email [email protected] and we’ll get you back in.

I’m a member but hit the article limit

The article limit only applies when you’re logged out. Log in, make sure your name shows at the top of the page, then reload the article. Still blocked? Log out, log back in, or clear your browser’s cookies for peprofessional.com.

Bronze includes 10 news articles a month; Silver and above include every news article.

How do I change my email address or name?

Go to the Member Center and choose Edit profile. Your newsletters go to whatever address is on your account.

Newsletters

Which newsletters come with membership?

Every level includes all three: Morning Coffee, John McNulty’s letter on the deals, people and ideas moving the middle market; After Hours, the day’s transactions and news each evening; and The Week in Review, the week’s top five transactions.

My newsletters aren’t arriving

Check your spam, junk and Promotions folders, then add peprofessional.com to your safe senders list. At a firm, ask IT to allowlist peprofessional.com; corporate filters are the usual culprit.

Still missing? Email [email protected].

What is Briefly?

Briefly is PEP’s page of short deal items, updated through the day. Find it at peprofessional.com/briefly.

Compensation Survey

How do I get the Carried Interest and Compensation Survey?

Three ways: it’s included with Gold and Platinum memberships; every firm that takes part in the survey gets the report free; or you can buy it in the Store.
