Thanks for the help. I just want to be clear, if we buy from an authorized reseller we would still have the charter member benefits of being able to use the points at any BG property. We don't plan to use the week I own, not even sure which week that is. We do want to use the Big Cedar resort though. But on the resale market I see time in TN or MT much cheaper than at Big Cedar. But if I buy points for TN on the resale market I can't use Bonus Time at Big Cedar? Will my 15K points at Big Cedar be more valuable for trade in through RCI than buying 15K points at a place in TN?

Big Frank has a point -- there is a Bluegreen subforum here that would probably get you more response.

Rescind Now, rescind now,
This is a no brainer, rescind now, Then come back to the BG forum and ask your questions. You will be able to buy 15k for under $500, and with the $22500 you save you can travel in style for years. Greg
Originally posted by ramhog69 View PostI am brand new to the whole timeshare business after years of being adamantly against the idea. We bought 15,000 points in BlueGreen at Big Cedar in Missouri. I love the idea of the points, and I understand by buying directly I have a charter membership that allows me to use my points at any BG property. I am still within my 5 day window to cancel the contract and I have some questions I am having a difficult time getting an answer. My 15,000 points cost me about $23K. When I read on RCI it talks about .02 per point. Am I paying way too much for these points? I also see on other posts people talking about having over 100,000 points each year when they were converted from a weeks account to a point account. Is 15,000 points enough to really go anywhere on the RCI network?
Thanks

Hey everybody, Jeff from PA here. I am new to the board but became a TUG member and then found these forums. DW & I are looking for our first TS purchase. We had considered this before but then backed off. We have decided to do it and believe we are going to buy BG points to primarily vacation in a southeast US beach location. I am here to learn, gather advice and info. before we slap money down. So as I post please excuse any "stupid or naiive questions". THANKS!

Welcome to TS4M's.. I believe you'll find this a very relaxed environment, so never hesitate to ask questions.. Nobody here is waiting to attack you if you have your own opinion! We actually encourage intelligent discussion and hope new members ask questions. It's not about egos here, it's all about information. Questions and conversation are pretty much the main point of the website!
Visit the Bluegreen threads and you'll find the members here are friendly and helpful. You won't find more knowledgeable Bluegreen experts than some of the moderators on this forum.

Hi everyone,
I'm Rebecca and I own a travel membership, and traveling is very important to me and my family. I used to sell timeshare for 6 months last year but it wasn't for me. I now own a membership (similar to timeshare, same resorts) that I purchased through XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX and I love it. I don't have any maintenance fees and my lifetime membership was only $6500. If anyone else want to check it out, I'd be happy to share more info about it. In the meantime, I enjoy travelling with my two kids and husband, painting, and living a healthy, happy life full of adventure.

There's a Bluegreen forum here that you might find helpful. Feel free to ask if you don't see the answers you need.
We have Bluegreen points and really enjoy our ownership. We've been to over a dozen of them, and would happily go back to any. Always a lot to do (although some resorts take more planning offseason), and the quality is pretty consistent with the owned resorts (the associate resorts have a lot more variation). We're planning Christmas at Christmas Mountain Village this year, something I never thought I'd do, but eventually it dawned on me that, if we got a Townhome, we'd have two full kitchens on hand! Having two full ovens for the big holiday meal may counteract the not being home for Christmas thing.

I am new to the time share game, years ago I got scammed in Mexico... Hoping to be more knowledgeable this time around. I recently bought a Bluegreen timeshare deeded at Paradise Point (close to Big Cedar) I am learning I could probably have gotten a better deal in the resale arena, I have two days left on my rescind and I was looking for some opinions, I like the extra perks you get from the developer, however I've also read that if you go through an authorized reseller that they will still qualify... Here's what I got. 15,000 points, Charter benefits, travelers plus, bronze vip status for $1.43 per point... What are some opionions?
