Tom is correct- Here are my choices on the opt in/ opt out page:
ARES E-Letter
ARRL Board meeting agendas and minutes
ARRL Club News - (monthly notification)
ARRL Current - (monthly digital notification)
ARRL Legislative Update
ARRL Letter
Division and Section News
Notification of license expiration
Publication Announcements and Special Offers
W1AW - DX
W1AW - General/Special
W1AW - Propagation
There is a notification of license expiration.
I do not remember an ARRL notification in 2020, but I probably did not give them enough time. I had my calendar set for 90 days prior to expiration and renewed via FCC ULS on the first day I could do so.
Since the upgrade, there is not a direct link to your profile page under your login. I miss that link. It is a bit more difficult to have members navigate to their opt in/opt out page.

Mike,
I believe I remember that you have to select the license renew request in your webpage account profile. No check mark, no license renewal notice.

Subject: [arrl-odv:33837] ARRL FCC license renewal notices?
A member accidently let his amateur license lapse, and was wondering why the FCC didn't send him a renewal notice before it expired. I explained that one to him, (the "Paperwork Reduction Act"), then he wondered why he also didn't get a renewal notice from ARRL. I couldn't explain that one. Here's what he sent me:
Incidentally, I just did a google search, (which brings up another issue...) where ARRL says on their website that expiration notices are a "benefit of membership"... see http://www.arrl.org/expiration-notices
It doesn't specify email or snail mail, but the wording suggests snail mail.
If that's no longer the case, that page needs to be updated. I may have received one but I don't think I did.
Is this something that Personify broke, or is this an anomaly? I haven't had any other questions about it, but was wondering.
Anybody else on ODV had recent issues with this?
Thanks!
