Builders Club

Builders Club (BC) is a premium service that enhances the ROBLOX experience by giving users the ability to create and manage multiple structures and environments. Builders Club members also gain the ability to earn ROBLOX currency, ROBUX, which can be used to purchase premium items in the ROBLOX catalog. These items enable much greater customization of users' avatars and their interactive creations.

There are three types of Builders Club memberships that you can buy: Builders Club, Turbo Builders Club, and Outrageous Builders Club. ROBLOX game cards can be bought at various retailers such as GameStop, Toys "R" Us, Best Buy, EB Games, Walmart, etc. When purchasing ROBUX, a user with Builders Club will receive a somewhat significant bonus of more ROBUX with their purchase compared to a non-Builders' Club member. The prices are: for $9.95USD,  for $24.95USD and  for $49.95USD.

Criticism
Multiple discussions within the community have occurred that debated the features a premium member has compared to a free member. Some features, like players allowing their games to be restricted to only users who have a premium membership have sparked criticism within the ROBLOX community. Some members of the community believe that users who have purchased a Builders Club membership are less likely to be moderated on ROBLOX, though these claims cannot be proven.

ROBLOX Mobile App purchases
ROBLOX gives the option to buy ROBUX and Builders Club with your Google Play/iTunes/Amazon Account. Unlike purchases made by the website, app purchases are not recurring and Google Play/iTunes/Amazon automatically convert currencies for you.

Trivia

 * Builders Club was introduced in 2007, however, because ROBUX was not available back then, players wouldn't get the daily stipend of ROBUX like we do today.
 * When BC was first created, TBC and OBC did not exist. They were created in 2009.
 * Lots of kids use game cards to buy ROBUX and BC. However, this has exceptions, in the countries where cards are not available.
 * Alongside the Monthly and Annual plans, there were also two other options: 6-Month and Lifetime (100 years). However, these two plans were removed on August 4, 2015. On the bright side, anyone who purchased a Lifetime plan before its removal got to keep their forever membership.
