We became members in Feb, 2018. They were supposed to send us cards then. I've requested them two times since then and still have yet to receive a physical card 13 months later.
Unfortunately they haven’t done this in a few years.Not sure if this still happens but at Saratoga visitor center we were able to get new cards made for us. We had misplaced and happen to be in areas and thought we'd try. They were blue cards and we did get better cards sometime later.
If you really need to exile your iThing while on vacation, you can always print out a copy of your Card and carry it with you. I’ve been asked for IDs even with a device image.
You can't request the physical card until after you close that is the exact error you get in this case. So on your documents from DVC there was a closing date. Once that date passes you should be able to order the physical card. But up until that point your account is "restricted" and you aren't considered a full member. But really the only things you are restricted on is 1) making a reservation for before your closing date, 2) ordering a physical DVC card, and 3) being involved in a points transfer transaction.How do you even make the request? I bought 150 points direct, but when I click on the link for ordering a card, I get a picture of Rex telling me this:

Oh thanks! We're a little out from that timeline still, so this makes sense.You can't request the physical card until after you close that is the exact error you get in this case. So on your documents from DVC there was a closing date. Once that date passes you should be able to order the physical card.

Generally closing is 30 days from 10 days after you sign your paperwork. But check the documents for what they say. Also you can look at the Comptroller's website for your recorded deed.
In the meantime the digital version of the card will give you everything you need. I will say I've ordered my physical card months ago, spoke with MS and still haven't received it. So it will take awhile after you close anyways.
This. I know my time is limited with using my blue card, lol. But ya, I think you are correct.Maybe they're intentionally trying to get away from physical cards? Otherwise it really shouldn't be that difficult
I do believe some reported that they were going to print out copies of their online to use. You often have to show an ID but for those that don't want to pull out a phone all the time that might be something to try.

I've gotten the digital and used it successfully to get a discounted AP for my son. I don't know why I even need the physical card--just want it I guess.Are you able to get the online blue card? There is another thread where people who have purchased direct are discussing having trouble even getting the digital blue card.
