Is there anyway to find out exactly which properties are going to be the place to stay for the 3 nights? I'm looking at New Orleans and the Smokey Mountains.
Do you have to sit through a timeshare presentation as part of the deal?
Don't buy anything from Bluegreen!! We spent $2500 for a sampler package only to discover they lied about they way we could use their points. Shameful!!! Beware please.
Why did you spend $2500 in the first place, that too on Bluegreen?
Ok, So, you think you MAY want to check out Bluegreen owned properties so they offer you a SAMPLER package of points for $2500 you can use to book stays all over the US. That's why.
The timeshare sales people love it when you tell them you can buy the same timeshare for a few bucks on eBay that they are trying to sell it to you for $20K+ :)
10000% agree, I asked the Hilton person last time why I would not just buy the timeshare secondhand for pennies on the dollars. There was something about perks but that was about it they would say was the difference
Heads Up: Minimum age is 25
Do they try and lock you into a contract or something? Seems like a pretty good deal if not.
Yes, their goal is to destroy you financially in the WORST possible way. They are paying you for the opportunity to scam you.
Do you think a virtual card would get around it? I sat through a timeshare with my dad before when I was a kid, I don't mind politely saying no for a few hours, my worry is I pay for the $279 thing and then they hide some agreement when I pay for it that I have a contract and get me to owe thousands or something.
No, it is not like that. Sit through their presentation and politely, insistently say no when they pressure you to actually buy a timeshare.
Yeah, I saw that, I was a little surprised because I thought that partnership might have ended. Pre-pandemic, you could often stay at Bluegreen resorts for a very reasonable number of points. But, several years ago, they seemed to have zeroed out the Bluegreens for redemption -- even though they left them on the website (Choice has done this with some other partners, too). This is not a bad offer if you're the type of person willing to sit through timeshare presentations (I'd need a resort I'd really want to stay at and at least 100K points to consider it). But what I wonder is whether Bluegreens will now be available again for regular award redemption.
Agreed, a resort would be more bearable especially when traveling with small kids. Do you know which of the destinations on offer are at resort locations?
