Does my membership include an insurance benefit?
The existing BGOA FAQ states that members receive a no-cost $2,000 accidental death and dismemberment benefit. Other insurance products are separate and may be available through participating partners in the member area.
Am I guaranteed local training after joining?
No. Training events depend on demand, instructor availability, chapter activity, and the concentration of members in a particular area.
Will my membership renew automatically?
Recurring memberships generally renew automatically unless automatic renewal is canceled. Lifetime memberships do not require annual renewal.
How do I update my payment method?
Use the billing portal associated with your payment provider. PayPal users can manage the payment method from Automatic Payments. Stripe users should use the secure customer portal link available through their BGOA account or billing email.
Can I reactivate my membership later?
In most cases, a former member can purchase or restart a membership later. Use the membership page or contact Membership Support for account-specific assistance.
How long do benefits remain active after cancellation?
Canceling automatic renewal normally stops the next billing charge while the membership remains active through the current paid term. Benefit availability remains subject to the applicable membership and partner terms.
What is the merchandise return policy?
The existing FAQ states that undamaged products may be returned within 30 days, with the customer responsible for return shipping.
Does BGOA mail physical membership cards?
No. The existing FAQ states that BGOA no longer issues physical membership cards. Members should use the available digital membership information.
