Thank you for your interest in our b-linked teen portal. This handy guide will walk you through some basics
in setting up a b-linked account and registering for events. If at any time you experience any issues that aren’t
covered here, please don’t hesitate to contact our Customer Service team at customer_service@bbyo.org.
They’ll be glad to help you with whatever you need. Let’s get started!

Logging In ...

If you’ve already created a

b-linked account, logging in is
pretty simple. Just point your
browser to www.b-linked.org
and enter your email address
and password into the login
fields to the right of the screen.

You will be taken to your

b-linked main page. To see your
account page, just click on the
MY B-LINKED tab at the top left.

Congratulations! You’ve
successfully accessed your
account. From this page, you’ll
be able to search and register
for upcoming events, pay
membership dues, connect with
friends, and much more.
Forgot Your Password...

Did you forget your password?

No problem! Just click on the
I FORGOT MY PASSWORD link
under the login box, fill in your
email address, and click SUBMIT.
The system will send you your
password automatically. If you
don’t receive an automated
email, check in your spam
folder, and make sure your
email security settings allow you
to receive emails from BBYO.

Creating a New Account...

If you’re new to the b-linked

system, you can create a FREE
account quickly and easily by
clicking on the REGISTER NOW
link under the login box.

On this page, just fill in all of the

fields with the appropriate info
and click SIGN UP!.
A confirmation email will be sent
to the address you provided.
Just click on the link supplied in
the message, and your
registration will be complete!
Registering For Events...

Now that you’re logged in, you

will be able to search for and
register for upcoming BBYO
events in the system.
Remember, you’ll only be able
to see and register for
international events that are
open to everyone, or local
events that are happening in
your region. On your main
account page, you’ll see the MY
EVENTS column. Here, you’ll be
able to see any events that
you’re already registered for
under the I’M ATTENDING
header, as well as any events
that are coming up in your area.
This is an abbreviated list, and
will only show some of the most
recent events that will be
happening. To see a broader list
of events, and to search for a
specific event, just click the
SEARCH ALL EVENTS button right
next to the MY EVENTS header.
If you see the event you’re
Interested in, just click on the
event name and you’ll be taken
to that event’s main page.

Once you get to the event’s

page, you’ll be able to read all
about the event, as well as see
who else is attending, and
register and pay. Directly under
the event’s name, there will be
buttons that will let you consider
this event (if you’re not sure
about attending), invite a friend,
or register and pay for the
event. If you want to register
and pay, simply click on the
REGISTER AND PAY button.
Registering For Events Continued...

Once you click on the Register

and Pay button, you’ll be taken
to the registration page. Here,
you’ll verify your information
(which will already be auto-filled
for you), as well as let us know
of any special dietary needs and
food allergies you may have.
Once that’s done, you’ll click
NEXT and be taken to the
payment screen.

On the payment screen, you’ll

enter the CARDHOLDER’S
Information, not your own!
Then you’ll check off the
payment amount, enter any
extra amount you’d like to
donate to your region, enter the
credit card info, then click PAY.
This will process your payment,
as well as send the cardholder a
confirmation email.

Congratulations!
You’re registered!
Registering For Events Continued...

Once you’re registered, you’ll be

able to go back into that
registration to pay any
additional amount if you
originally only paid a deposit, as
well as fill out any required
forms, and edit any info required
for the event.

Clicking on the PAY NOW button

will let you pay any additional
amounts owed.

SUBMIT FORMS will let you

electronically sign any required
forms, as well as download any
supplemental forms.

EDIT INFO will let you add any

additional info required for the
event, such as t-shirt size, room
requests, bus stops, etc.

Becoming a BBYO Member...

Not only can you register for

events through b-linked, but you
can also become a full member
of BBYO as well.

Once you log into your b-linked

account, you’ll see a PURCHASE
MEMBERSHIP button under your
name. Just click on this button,
and you’ll be taken to a Payment
screen where you can choose
your dues structure and become
a BBYO member.
Becoming a BBYO Member Continued...

After you click on the PURCHASE

MEMBERSHIP button, you’ll be
taken to this information
screen. Here, you’ll fill in your
information, as well as the
information for one of your
parents, including their email
address. This is required
information, as any BBYO
member needs to have at least
one parent listed to give
permission to attend events, as
well as pay for events, and
receive any communications we
send out to our members.

After all of the required info is

filled in, click the SUBMIT
button, and you’ll be taken to
the payment screen.

Here on the payment screen,

you will be given a chance to
review all of the info you’ve
entered about yourself and your
parent, and can make any
changes if necessary. Then, you
will enter the CARDHOLDER’S
information, the credit card info,
and choose which dues structure
you’d like to purchase.

We offer two dues options:

$75 will purchase a one year

membership

$149 will purchase a high school

career membership

These membership option are

described in greater detail on
the next page...
Becoming a BBYO Member Continued...

The $75 dues option:

This option will begin at the start of the SCHOOL year, and not from the time of purchase. This means that
a one year membership purchased in the fall of 2010 will expire in the summer of 2011, and only cover the
current school year, regardless of when it was purchased in the fall.

However, a one year membership purchased in the spring (after January 1) will be extended to the
FOLLOWING summer. So, a one year membership purchased in the spring of 2011 will not expire until the
summer of 2012.

The $149 dues option:

This option is the best value for anyone considering becoming a member of BBYO. When this option is
purchased, the membership will not expire until your high school graduation, regardless of when it was
purchased. So, if you are a sophomore and purchase this option, you will be a BBYO member until your
graduation 3 years from now. On the same token, if you are a freshman and purchase this option, your
membership won’t expire until your graduation 4 years from now.

We hope this quick run through will help you in getting started with b-linked and BBYO. Remember, if you
have any questions, please feel free to contact our Customer Service team. We’re always available, and
we’ll be able to help you out with any and all BBYO questions. You can contact us at

customer_service@bbyo.org

Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you at the next BBYO event!
