Virtual DVC Card question

[Bearval]

Does anyone know what DVC-Y stands for on your virtual DVC membership card?

 

[zavandor]

It means you have a "blue card", i.e. you are entitled to benefits and discounts.

 

[peabody58]

DVC-Y indicates that your contract qualifies for Blue Card DVC Benefits. Minimum Direct purchase or previously grandfathered Resale Purchases.

And Those not eligible for membership extras will have DVC-ND, indicating no discounts.

Thank you all for the explanations

We collectively need to stop using the term blue card since they no longer exist-- online temp included.

Yes but saying blue card now implies discounts and is just so easy to say and understand for most of us. When I hear "blue card" I assume online card with benefits...smjj

But it had an expiration date of 12/31/21. They always took a couple of months to send them out, then sometime late in 2021, when they wouldn’t have been sending them out before the new year anyway, they announced the change.

The online temporary cards have no longer looked like the blue physical cards for months now... they were updated sometime mid 2022.

Wow, I didn’t realize they had changed it - I recognized it as the MagicMobile DVC card but didn’t know they had made it the temporary card that could be printed, etc. from the DVC member website until I looked just now. If the member isn’t eligible for Membership Extras, does the card on the website look different, or is there not one at all?

I don’t believe there is one at all.

Personally, I do not consider that blue.

I don’t believe there is one at all.

I would like someone to definitely confirm this. I don't see why they wouldn't have the same card but with DVC-ND.

It's entirely possible they still do offer a digital ND card, but when pool hopping was officially removed from the Benefits of Buying Direct chart, that left nothing that would require the need for a membership card. But, again, maybe they do. I have never heard of anyone printing one out, and I don't know what purpose it would serve if you did.

P.S. You got me: blue with a brown suitcase.

Those not eligible have an identification thst just says eligible for pool hopping. Same as before.

So is it just a plain black and white card-shaped document on the website?
