Message & Data Rates

Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies based on your activity and program enrollment. Standard carrier message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier and plan.

Message Frequency

Message frequency varies. You may receive up to several messages per week depending on your level of participation in BGV programs, upcoming events, and application deadlines. BGV will not send unsolicited promotional messages without your opt-in consent.

How to Opt Out

You may opt out of the BGV SMS Program at any time. To stop receiving text messages from BGV, reply STOP to any BGV text message. After you send the STOP message, we will send you a one-time confirmation that you have been unsubscribed. You will no longer receive SMS messages from BGV after this confirmation, except as required by law. If you wish to re-enroll, you may opt back in by texting START or by re-enrolling through a BGV platform or event registration.
