- USING A DIFFERENT MAIL ADDRESS THAN MY IRISH INDEPENDENT OR MEDIA HOUSE ACCOUNT
If you already have a RouteYou account linked to a different email address from your Irish Independent or Mediahuis account, you can easily link these two accounts via your RouteYou profile page on the website:
Go to www.routeyou.com, then via your personal settings to "My profile". Or go to your profile page in the RouteYou app and select "manage my profile".
Click on 'Connection with Irish Independent account'or'Connection with Irish Independent or Mediahuis account' at the bottom of the page, then choose to connect to Irish Independent or Mediahuis. Follow the steps as shown.
- USING THE SAME MAIL ADDRESS FROM MY IRISH INDEPENDENT OR MEDIA HOUSE ACCOUNT

Go to 'Log in', choose 'Log in with Irish Independent or Irish Independent or Mediahuis newspaper' and fill in the correct data.
We will then ask you if you would like to link your existing RouteYou account to your Irish Independent or Mediahuis account:
If you wish to do this, click on the "Link Accounts" button. Choose your default login preference and confirm.
You now have several choices depending on the type of RouteYou account you have at the time of linking:
- I have a RouteYou Free account
You can use all RouteYou-Plus benefits for free straight away. - I have a RouteYou trial subscription.
You can continue to enjoy all the benefits of RouteYou-Plus after the trial period ends. - I already have a RouteYou account subscription
If you have 'automatic renewal' enabled, this will be canceled.
Please note, if you pay for your RouteYou subscription via Apple, you must cancel automatic renewal yourself. We cannot do that from RouteYou.
You can continue to enjoy all the benefits of RouteYou Plus for free after your current RouteYou subscription runs out.
If you do not want this, use the 'Back' button at the top and then log in using your standard RouteYou account details. You will then keep your existing RouteYou account under the existing conditions specific to the type of RouteYou account you have.

FAQ
If, when logging in with your Irish Independent or Irish Independent or Mediahuis account, we do not detect that a RouteYou account is already linked to that email address, then your RouteYou account is probably linked to a different email address.
You have two choices:
- Link them via your RouteYou profile page on the website:
Go to www.routeyou.com, then via your personal settings to "My profile". Or go to your profile page in the RouteYou app and select "manage my account".
Click on 'Link to Irish' or Link Irish Independent or Mediahuis account' at the bottom of the page, then choose to link your account. Follow the steps as shown.
- Change the email address of your RouteYou account to that of your Irish Independent or Irish Independent or Mediahuis account. Then try to log in again using your newspaper account. We should now detect that you already have a RouteYou account and offer to link it.
