I want to get my wife one--what's the consensus best approach to this? She is on all the deeds, but she doesn't have online access. Do we need to get her separate online access? Or can I contact Member Services through one of the suggested channels (DVC chat function, call, email) to order a card for her?
I was on the phone with a cm about the website problems and asked if I could order our cards. The cm told me she could order mine but that dh would have to call himself. I think she ordered one for dh anyway because he never called and he received one. Worth a try.I received mine today as well, and came directly here to see if anybody else received one. Great news from many people!

I am the OP of this original post and just wanted to say that I finally got my blue card today in the mail. And my husband got a spare as another one came in the mail for him today. I did think it was coming soon as I had emailed the DVC satisfaction team email and they got back to me and said it had been sent over for printing so I was expecting it-just didn't know when to expect it but glad I at least finally got it!
Ok. Totally shocked. We received our 2 cards this morning......................(snip).............. One thing... they expire 2021. I guess you just order new ones every couple of years?
I know I received my first one on Monday and then just got another one in the mail yesterday! I ordered a lot too. Not sure how many but now I have 2. I know I ordered more though because I wasn't sure it was working. Well I guess at least we know it works ordering onlineThey must be catching up on orders. I received one last week and then again yesterday. Hopefully they won't be sending me one for every time I've tried ordering over the last 6 months.
Everyone's blue card expires 12/31/2021. We've had our blue card ever since they sent out the first batch of the new blue expiring cards to existing members. Who knows what they are planning (or not planning) to do at that time.
No way to know for sure until then, of course, but I don't think it's anything sinister or even predictive of what will happen with Magic Bands. My guess is that it's just a relatively inexpensive way to "weed out" blue cards from Members who no longer qualify for Membership Extras (assuming they still have those at that time).That expiration date seems rather odd. Are “benefits” suddenly disappearing in that date, or are we going to operate on a magic band system?
