Membership Magic Beyond-2026?

[Genie+]

Yes I agree as it stated MMB would end on 12/31/25. I guess the question is will they start MMB 2026 on 1/1 or wait a few weeks like this year.

The part where I’m less sure is cast member saying I’d be able to use my Memory Maker credit for the trip next year. I’m not relying on that but would be a nice little bonus.

FWIW, they have let me buy BOGO OTUP for a stay in the 2026…

Same. But it was under my Dec 2025 UY I thought that was why.

FYI - Member magazine this month says details for 2026 Member Magic Beyond coming soon.

Nice! I am excited they are keeping it, honestly even if it costs more.

Could be, but the MM+ is paid for based on calendar year…. So I’m not sure if OTUP works on a UY or Calendar Year timeline….

I believe OTUP Work on a use year basis

Here is my undersatnding:

When OTUP are purchased, the go into the UY in which the reservation for which they are purchased belongs.

However, when using MMB to get the "bonus" OTUP, that purchase has to happen in the Program (calendar) Year in which you have purchased the MMB option.

You can use the MMB to buy the bonus OTUP for any Use Year into which you can make a seven-month reservation. So, definitely the current UY, and maybe the next one, depending.

That’s because you bought them when you have MMB.

They said from the start that the rules for OTU points were not changing so you could buy for any date that is 7 months or less.

You can purchase as late as 12/31 for a stay 7 months or less into 2026.

So, the benefits for MMB can be accessed during a calendar year you have it, but the actual trip you purchase them for just had to follow the normal rules.
