The purchase date is the official starting date of your membership or Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) and ReviewProgram.

For all BNP Health™ Memberships, the auto-renewal date is the date of purchase each month. For clarification, this means the following: 

  • If you purchased on a date in the month, for example 4th, 12th, 20th, you will be charged at the same time on that date  the following month. So if you buy on June 4th you will be charged on July 4th etc. 
  • If your purchase date is the last day of a month such as the 28th (February non-leap year), 30th or 31st, you will be charged on the last day of the next month. For example, a January 31st purchase date will auto-renew on February 28th or 29th (if a leap year). 


Cancellation of your membership: To avoid being charged for the next month's fee, you must cancel your membership through your online portal. Cancellations will not be processed via email, and refunds will not be issued for those who claim they intended to cancel or who request cancellation via email. If you have any questions about the cancellation process, please contact us within 72 business hours of your renewal date to ensure the issue is resolved before the renewal is processed.
