Warning
Builders Club has been officially discontinued in favor of Roblox Premium.
Information
Oldbchardhat

Builders Club (BC) was a premium membership that granted users extra privileges on Roblox which could not be obtained by non-Builders Club users, such as a daily Robux stipend or the ability to make shirts and pants. These items enable much greater customization of users' avatars and their interactive creations.

There were three types of Builders Club memberships that a player could have purchased: Builders Club, Turbo Builders Club, and Outrageous Builders Club. Roblox cards which were most commonly used to obtain BC memberships can be purchased at various retailers such as GameStop, Best Buy, EB Games, and Walmart. When purchasing Robux, a user who had Builders Club would have received a somewhat significant bonus of more Robux with their purchase compared to a non-Builders Club member. Prices for both Builders Club and Robux varied between currencies, e.g. a user with their account's country set to the United Kingdom viewed prices in GBP rather than USD.

In early May of 2019, Roblox began to remove certain features that were exclusive to or a bonus for Builders Club members. On September 23, 2019, Builders Club was replaced entirely by Roblox Premium, which will be rolled out to all users soon. Users who do not have access to Premium yet can still use BC with its remaining benefits.[1]

Builders Club variants


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 previously purchased Builders Club, Turbo Builders Club, or Outrageous Builders Club had the same features as a free user, but were still able to 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

Welcome to the club derp

The Welcome To The Club Badge is a badge that was obtainable by purchasing any type of Builders Club membership at the time of their availability. 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%.

Membership Badges


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.

Builders Club Type Duration Price (USD) Price (GBP)
Builders Club 1 Month $5.95 £5.99
Turbo Builders Club 1 Month $11.95 £11.99
Outrageous Builders Club 1 Month $19.95 £19.99
Builders Club 3 Months $15.95 £15.99
Turbo Builders Club 3 Months $29.95 £28.99
Outrageous Builders Club 3 Months $49.95 £48.99

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 features before removal

These features are no longer part of the Builders Club Membership and have been removed.

Discontinued membership plans

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.
