Troubleshooting #

  • Error: No member found matching the code and email address
    • This means the combination of Member Claim Code and Email do not match an existing member profile. We usually see this error when the email address you entered is different from the one where you received the Welcome Email.
    • Often times this means a student Member Claim Code is being claimed by a parent. Reminder: all students and parents will have separate accounts in Presto Assistant.
