Yes… I tried and tried to log on (I am a cardholder) but the MemberProjects web site was seriously broken… I emailed ‘webmaster’, since there was no support email to be found, and it failed to connect over several days and finally failed.
So much for tech-driven charitable enterprises, though I blame Amex for the login problems.
