Minimum points for blue card now at 125 officially
We knew it was coming, and they increased it today to 125.
Glad I decided to jump on that 25 point contract when I did back in 2016 to supplement my resale contracts. It was worth it for 25 points (and I needed 25 points more at the time anyway and 25 pointers were barely cheaper resale), but there’s no way on earth is buy 125 direct ‘just’ to get benefits.

I know we didn't have the first contract in time for the 25 points and really wanted to do it but at 125 points there is no way I could justify it now so it will be another resale for us I'm afraid

Those 25-points must be one of your best buy's, when we bought direct (in a different century) we never knew about a resale market and think we only found out from TheDibb.
Just checked the DVC website and it's not yet been updated from 100 to 125-points, so thought it was worth pasting the current web-page for a reference so to check for any other changes going forward.
