If you have the digital card, if it says Y you have membership extras aka blue card, if it says ND, you get no extras.

The digital cards are only DVC Y. If you have DVC Y you have access to all discounts and events, anything else is not accepted.
How the calculate who has the right to have it or not, they don't probably know either, since it took them months to sort it out. Most resale members who had been grandfathered didn't show affiliation properly at the beginning.

I’m not surprised - it’s a long & convoluted path, not only do they have to consider when the resale points were purchased but they also have to look at what the minimum number of direct points to qualify for membership was for those w/ mixed direct/resale memberships. Not that I’m excusing DVC for their abysmal roll out of the digital cards - after all they created the monster.
There have historically been several sets of restrictions imposed on resale buyers.
Originally resale purchasers were treated exactly the same as direct buyers,
3/21/2011 - DVC limited resale points by barring their use for cruises & other exchanges w/in the Disney universe. Anyone w/ resale points purchased before that date kept those benefits - they were grandfathered in.
4/14/2016 - DVC made resale points ineligible for perks like discounts, access to DVC lounges, etc.. Anyone w/ resale points purchased before that date were grandfathered in & kept their blue card status. Hence the origin of the term ‘white card.’ During that era, though, you just had to buy 25 direct points & viola you attained ‘blue card’ status.
1/19/2019 - the Riviera resale restriction started - any resale points purchased after that date at the original 14 resorts could not be used at Riviera & any Riviera points purchased resale could not be used anywhere except Riviera.

Thanks,,,Yes we 1st purchased resale in 2011, but after may. So I was just curious if the cards show now that or that is just when you try and book a member cruise or the elite exchange,,,,not that we are using them and have all the others,,but wow would not like to try and keep track.

DVC Y gIves you what you got with a blue card, DVC ND is the same as those with a white card.

I think eventually we will move away from those phrase. I tend to just say DVC Y or eligible for membership extras more than I use blue card.

Sounds like you bought after points were restricted from cruises, etc. but before the membership extra program became restricted for only direct.
