Builders Club (BC) is a premium membership gives users extra priviliges that cannot be earned by normal users, such as 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 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 can range respectively from 1000 Robux for $9.95 USD to 6000 Robux for $49.95 USD.
Players can purchase Builders Club memberships that automatically renew monthly or annually. Players 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 continue to receive their Builders Club benefits for the duration of the purchased period.

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 also be 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.

Roblox Cards
Roblox Cards are cards with codes to either get more Robux or Builders Club. They are sold for $10, $25, $40 and $50 and can be found at various places like Toys "R" Us, Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, GameStop, EB Games, 7-Eleven, etc. Toys "R" Us cards were released earlier than 7-Eleven cards, at September 26th. 7-Eleven cards were released in October 1st. After that was announced, card gears were released, also being the first gear costing tickets.
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 reports cannot be theoretically proven. It has also gotten lots of hate, mainly because ODers (Online Daters) purchase memberships to show off their "wealth."
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. Although the Roblox Mobile App BC purchases are special because it allows you to buy 3 Months of any type of BC instead of the Annual price the normal Roblox site costs you.

- Lots of players use game cards to buy Robux and BC. However, this has exceptions, in the countries where cards are not available.
