Former Builders Club
Former Builders Club is an unofficial membership reserved for players who had previously purchased any type of Builders Club membership. Members who have previously purchased Builders Club, Turbo Builders Club, or Outrageous Builders Club have the same features as a free user, but can still keep the Welcome to the Club badge, the hard hat corresponding to the Builders Club membership they had as well as the extra hats they were given if they bought OBC, and still stay in any groups they were in above the maximum limit of 5 (but will be unable to join new groups unless they go back down to only being in 4 groups or buy a new Builders Club membership).

Welcome To The Club Badge


The Welcome To The Club Badge is a badge that can be earned by purchasing any type of Builders Club membership. It was released on October 14, 2014, along with the Official Model Maker badge. This badge would have also been obtained if a user's BC membership expired before the badge's release. The player can still keep this badge if his or her Builders Club membership expires. It is a permanent badge, unlike the other Builders Club badges.

Comparison of Builders Club variants
The following chart compares and contrasts the membership types and the bonuses they had.

Note that the NBC Icon is unofficial, and although the Upgrade page claimed that OBC users had 70% paid access, it is actually 75%.

Roblox Cards
Roblox Cards are cards with codes to either get more Robux or Builders Club. They are sold for $10-$200, $10, $25, $40, $50 $100 and can be found at various places like Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, GameStop, EB Games, 7-Eleven, etc. Toys "R" Us cards were released earlier than 7-Eleven cards, on September 26. 7-Eleven cards were released on October 1. After that was announced, card gears were released, also being the first gear costing tickets. Toys "R" Us cards can no longer be obtained as the company filed for bankruptcy.

Builders Club Purchases on Mobile
Builders Club purchases on mobile are different from purchases on the website. Unlike Builders Club purchases made by the website, app purchases are not recurring. There is also an option to purchase 3 months of Builders Club, a feature not available on the website. Also, mobile app purchases are $0.05 more expensive than the website, likely due to the 30% fee Google and Apple charges for purchases. These purchases are also available through the Windows 10 app.

Criticism
Multiple discussions within the community have occurred that debated the features a premium member has compared to a free member. Some features have sparked criticism within the Roblox community, such as members of the community believing that users who have purchased a Builders Club membership are less likely to be moderated on Roblox, though these reports cannot be theoretically proven. It has also received critique due to the assumption that online daters purchase memberships to show off their "wealth."

Since January 2019, Roblox unexpectedly changed the icons of the BC and OBC to TBC, and the majority of the users suspect that their membership (either BC or OBC), out of nowhere, changed to Turbo Builders Club. This issue has outraged a lot of users that their prior membership was changed to TBC. Despite that the users believed that their membership changed to the TBC, their prior membership is still highlighted, shown in the "Upgrade to Roblox Builders Club" page, and features still function to the prior membership. This issue has since been resolved.

Discontinued membership plans

Players can currently purchase Builders Club memberships that automatically renew monthly or annually. Previously, they could purchase memberships that last, 6 months or lifetime (100 years) up until August 4, 2015, when it was deprecated. Despite the inability to purchase this option, players with an active lifetime Builders Club membership will continue to receive their Builders Club benefits for the duration of the purchased period.

Trivia

 * On April 12th, 2007, the 1st place winner team of the Paintball Tournament on Ultimate Paintball got free Builders Club and Robux.
 * TBC and OBC were later created in 2009. OBC also had its own uniquely themed page before a change that brought it onto the main Builders Club page.
 * 6-Month and Lifetime (100 years) plans existed alongside Monthly and Annual, before being removed on August 4, 2015. Any users who purchased a Lifetime plan before its removal got to keep their "permanent" membership.
 * Users can still get 3-Months on the mobile app.
 * On January 21, 2019, a glitch occurred in which all users with a membership had their membership changed to TBC. Some even received the TBC hard hat. This was a visual glitch and benefits were not changed.
 * Builders Club Hard hats are still obtainable even after not being displayed in the bonuses page this was proved by a Youtuber called SharkBlox on May 29, 2019.
 * When Roblox launched their Premium Features API, there were 2 endpoints related to canceling your Builder's Club Membership & being refunded. If you sent a GET request to this endpoint, it would tell you how much Robux you would receive. If you sent a POST, it would cancel & refund you.
