Maybe they are waiting for BMW Corp to give them permission and tell them how to do it their way.
We don’t need, or seek, any permission from BMW.

The app is scheduled to be updated once per quarter. That timing can vary due to several different factors - our internal workload, the developers workload, significant information updates, such as expiration dates, database maintenance, technical development, etc. It would be great to say with certainty that is it always going to be released on a specific date, but that isn’t reality in the app/software world. At least not at our level.
We are trying to include feature updates with each release. The last version of the update included member numbers, cards and expiration dates in the app. If there is new functionality to be added, that can push the timeline as the developers try to make those things work.
There is actually a new release that is expected in the next few days. That release, in particular, was delayed by Apple who has to approve the release before the app can be updated in the Apple Store.
The app is NOT connected to the member database. Member information has to be manually updated periodically. The day will come when it is connected and updates will be instantaneous. That isn’t today.
A better indicator of your member status, expiration dates, etc. is your online member profile at bmwmoa.org. The website does reflect the actual database information in real time. The link to your profile page is https://www.bmwmoa.org/members/public_profile.asp
The app will continue to improve and we do have larger plans to improve the functionality and make the data available in real time. It will take a little patience to get there.

Just now tried to refresh data, still shows my old 2022 data. Message popped up I have the latest data, that's some funny crap right there.
New release expected in the next few days on Oct 31? Really?
The lion does not even bother to turn his head when he hears the small dog barking.
And in this case, we have big dogs posting about updates that haven't occurred. Quarterly updates? nope Update in the next few days? Nope
I'll turn my head when a big dog speaks.
So....I just checked mine again, refreshed data, still showed me as expired and ready to renew.
So I logged out of the App, then logged back in, and guess what?
The info is current, showing me as a member through September 2023.
Give that a try....

If a few others have the same result by logging out and back in, I think that might have cracked the case!
That worked for me, app now shows my correct expiration/renewal date. Apparently that piece of data is only accessed at login time and not during a data refresh.
Best,
