Blue card member reqs

[Momtomouselover]

Can you purchase direct two home resorts at 75 points each and still get a blue card? Or does it have to be one 100 point contract?

 

[Drewferin]

Yes, your total points have to now be 100 not each individual contract in order to get a blue card

 

[Sandisw]

To add, someone could add on 50 right now, and then 50 in a few months, and once they get to 100, they would become eligible.

This assumes the minimum is still 100.

Thanks!

 

[HickoryDickory]

Yes!

Are you able to purchase in blocks as low as 50 pts once you have a (resale) membership? Having 50 pts each in additional home resorts sounds pretty attractive for doing split stays over 10 days (driving down from Canada .

Yes, existing DVC members who currently own at least one contract can buy as small as 25-point add on contracts direct from Disney. Caveat- I’ve heard Riviera is a minimum 50-point add on. I believe all the other resorts are still only 25-point minimums.

 

[Sandisw]

Yes, 25 points cash, 50 points, finance, except RiV which starts at 50.

You also don’t have to stay in multiples of 25. So, if you wanted to buy 55 points at RIV or 35 at BLT, etc., you can.

I guess it could get little crazy with benefactors of all those separate, smaller contracts if they are not all left to 1 person. Sounds like all those individuals would not then get the member benefits.

Correct. If someone buys the minimum for member benefits in contracts smaller than that number and down the road, transfers them to others, the benefits would be removed if that person no longer met the minimum of 100.

Even further, if the transfer happened like that and they lost the status, they would then be required to meet whatever new minimum is at that time.

If you transferred them all to the same person, or kept them as joint owners and it stays at 100 or more, the benefits transfer

We are doing that. I am buying a 130 point contract with my adult kids and adding them to one of my 300 point contracts. This gives us a joint Membership that will stay this way. if they decide to buy more of their own points, they will buy their own membership. But this one membership will stay as our family one...technically mine and DHS since we are the ones who paid!

 

[Maistre Gracey]

Ahh.... the good ole’ days when Disney paid closing costs...

Correct me if I’m wrong, but you will pay closing costs on every contract. That can get expensive, plus that drives the resale price down a bit.

 

[Sandisw]

Yes, they do charge when you split. When I first bought, it was like cheap to do it...now it’s not so unless I was buying a lot..like 200 or more..I wouldn’t bother paying to split.

 

[pixieprincess925]

Yes, 25 points cash, 50 points, finance, except RiV which starts at 50.

CCV also starts at 50 - it was the first resort to start that trend.

 

[The Jackal]

Yes CCV started the 50 point minimum, so RIV and CCV 50 points, all the rest 25.

 

[Sandisw]

Yes CCV started the 50 point minimum, so RIV and CCV 50 points, all the rest 25.

Thanks for the clarification!

I have a follow up question on this. Do the contracts have to be under the same UY to fall under the same member number? I notice my recent resale contract (first contract with a different UY) has a completely different member number and shows up as a white card. My other member number that included my qualified contract shows the blue card. I wonder if two direct contracts from Disney, totaling the magic qualified number, require the same UY?

 

[Sandisw]

That is an interesting question. Yes, a different UY is a completely different membership. It’s like two different owners.

I am going to venture to say that since they are different memberships, it would default to not counting, But I can’t imagine Disney not figuring a way to help a member. Then again, they may not and tell a buyer that they need to keep the same UY so it’s the same membership.

i have the same thing. 3 memberships. Blue cards for 2 of the 3 as they have qualifying points.

Of course, once a member, it doesn’t really matter because as long as you have a blue card, you get the benefits.

 

[SecondEventuality]

It still burns my biscuits that we just missed the cut off from 75 to 100 just last month.
