Thank you - good to know.
I just tried to do this to 'trick' the system, LOL, but I kept getting 10 day availability! Will try it again in the future.

It may depend on where you're searching. Or it my work that way with the BG owned resorts but not so well with the Associate. I'm more likely to be searching the owned ones, although I sure thought it'd happened for me with some associate resorts I checked in Florida.

Also, I think a lot of the frustration with some of this stuff like the booking engine is if Bluegreen says it is going to be up by June 2011 and that date rolls around and it isn't up - instead of keeping owner's up to date through the magazine, or e-mail, or the online site itself - nothing is ever said about the delay. If you ask an agent - they know nothing about it. I think everyone expects things to run behind schedule from time to time - but it is always better to keep people up to date on the status and let them know you are still working on something. Might be a bad analogy, but like an airline - people expect delays - but they prefer to be kept up to date on the status and not just left hanging and wondering.

I don't think BG made any public declarations of these things/timelines so updates on them would add confusion.

If you can find something from the BG magazine or website, then they should absolutely update that. If you are referring to internet scuttlebutt, that doesn't count. I would also say that comments at the annual meeting are also not Carved In Stone Intentions and I would be very surprised if they gave a deadline at one of those meetings. More surprised if they updated that info since there are very few owners that go. who would they tell the update to??

I think there are reasons that tehy agents know nothing about it - it's because there is no public comment so no reason to guide your out-facing staff.

I could be wrong about this, but I don't recall ever seeing anything from BG to the ownership regarding creating an availability calendar.

Nor the Select Connections - that one I thought came thru an annual meeting prefaced as "we'd like to try to" but no firm date, no certain feasibility, no real reason to hope.

If anyone can find such definitive declarations, I would be happy to quiz bg over it.

Gandfal indicated in her post that she had seen in the magazine that Select Connections would come on board by June 2011. I didn't remember that it was the magazine, but I did remember seeing it in writing.

As far as the availability calendar, we were told by Bluegreen that they were working on trying to come up with something. I did not see this in writing.

Updates can easily be posted on the Bluegreen website.
