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.

* Important Information About Access to Disney Vacation Club Resorts

Effective January 19, 2019, Disney Vacation Club Members who do not acquire their real estate interest directly from the developer will not be able to make Vacation Point reservations at some or all non-Home Resorts.

Members who purchase a Resale contract for Disney’s Riviera Resort will only be able to stay at their Home Resort, Disney’s Riviera Resort. Resale contracts purchased at the 14 other Disney Vacation Club Resorts opened prior to Disney’s Riviera Resort will only be able to exchange into those 14 Resorts but not into Disney’s Riviera Resort.

Members who purchase directly from Disney Vacation Club have the opportunity to use their Vacation Points to stay at all current and potential future Disney Vacation Club Resorts and access additional benefits such as Membership Extras.

About Member Dining Discounts:

Important Information about Membership Extras:

Membership Extras, such as vacation options in the Disney and Concierge Collections, certain discounts, offers, and special events are incidental benefits.

These incidental benefits are subject to change or termination without notice, may require the payment of a fee and cannot be combined with any other offers or promotions.

Membership Extras are also subject to availability and block-out dates may apply, including high periods of demand such as Christmas and New Year’s Day. To receive any Membership Extras, purchasers must present a valid Disney Vacation Club Membership Card along with a corresponding valid photo ID.

Effective September 17, 2019, to obtain a Disney Vacation Club Membership Card, Members must accumulate a total of at least 100 Vacation Points purchased directly from Disney Vacation Development, Inc.

Disney and Concierge Collections options are not available for ownership interests not purchased directly from Disney Vacation Development, Inc. after March 21, 2011, and, effective April 4, 2016, Members who have not purchased an ownership interest directly from Disney Vacation Development, Inc. will not have access to Membership Extras.
