Do it yourself
Cancel IEEE yourself
TLDR: In My Account, opt out of automatic renewal before the second week of October, or call +1 800 678 4333. That stops the automatic charge for the next membership year, and the pages do not say this ends benefits you already paid for.
Opt out in My Account
You signed up for automatic renewal.
- 01Sign in at ieee.org.
- 02Open your member profile in My Account.
- 03Opt out of automatic renewal before the second week of October.
The renew page also says you can change this in your payment profile. Automatic renewal is an opt-in. It is not on unless you chose it. Charges are processed the week that starts with the second Sunday of October. An email reminder goes out each September.
Call the contact center
You cannot find the setting.
- 01Call +1 800 678 4333 in the US or Canada.
- 02Or email contactcenter@ieee.org.
The contact page says the contact center is open Sunday 8:00 p.m. Eastern to Friday 4:30 p.m. Eastern. Worldwide, the number is +1 732 981 0060.
Mail a notice
You want it on paper.
- 01Write that you are opting out of automatic renewal, and include the email or member number on the account.
- 02Mail it to IEEE Operations Center, 445 Hoes Lane, Piscataway, NJ 08854.
That is the address for mailing payments. The contact page lists the same lane as 445 and 501 Hoes Lane, ZIP 08854-4141, and a New York office at 3 Park Avenue, 17th Floor, New York, NY 10016-5997. A US membership notice uses the Piscataway payment address.
How to know it worked
- Opting out before the second week of October stops the automatic charge for the next membership year.
- The pages that opened do not say this ends benefits you already paid for this year. The membership year runs from January 1 through December 31.
Watch out for
- Automatic renewal is off unless you opted in. Life members, and members on a minimum-income, unemployed, permanently disabled, or member-get-a-member discount, cannot use it.
- Society memberships have extra dues. New members, and members lapsed for 2 or more years, see a price that includes a 50% discount. Existing members see their own dues after they sign in.
IEEE refunds
- The membership pages that opened do not state a dues refund. The terms link to a separate returns policy.
