[Psml] PIN codes

[Paul R. Soucy]

John,

Just this week I received my membership renewal notice and that was all that 
was in the envelope. No yellow insert.  However, the invoice from USPS did 
include a pin code for me and one for my wife. So some renewals may not have 
a yellow insert and members should check their invoice to make sure the pin 
code is entered.
