1. How do I get my password?
Click the link labeled “Forgot Password?” located beneath the member login box in the left column of most pages on USGIPS.com.
2. What is my username or login?
Your username is either your full email address or the username listed under “Membership Details.”
3. How do I find out how much I owe in dues?
Log into the website. If you owe dues, the system will display your balance.
You may also contact us through the contact form by selecting the “Dues” option.
4. How do I pay my dues?
GIPS dues can be paid online via PayPal, which is the preferred method. You do not need a PayPal account—just a credit or debit card.
If you’re unable to use PayPal, we can arrange alternative payment options (including by check). Please contact us through the contact form (select “Dues”) and we’ll assist you with payment and completing your application or membership renewal.
