Prizzma and direct exchanges with SVC & Raintree have arrived - Now seen using Safari

I was at work yesterday afternoon and tried it on IE and it worked just fine.

Tried with Safari amd Chrome at home and no go.

Does this mean I will never be able to access this feature? I do not think you can get Internet Explorer for MAC any longer.

For your MAC, you would have to buy and install virtual machine software like Parallels or VM Fusion and buy Windows. Then you would go to your virtual Windows and use IE.

I got it to work on Firefox just now after I allowed the pop-up for Bluegreenowner.com

I forgot about Firefox. I don't ever use it. I really wish Apple had not decided to shun the Adobe Flash world. It makes Safari pretty useless sometimes.

Glad we were able to find a solution. Keep an eye on Firefox. That browser updates all the time. Nothing major just a PITA.

I thought adding to this thread was appropriate. However, it does appear that Raintree properteries are now ALSO available through Bluegreen.

If you are logged into your Bluegreen Account, under Travellers Plus --> PointSmart --> Direct Exchange there are two options "Prizma" which is all the Raintree properties, and then Select Connections which is all the SVC properties. I don't recall ever seeing any kind of announcement regarding this affiliation though.

Their naming is VERY weird though since Prisma I thought was the software that they were using for these "external exchanges". In either case it is nice to see some other properties available.

Thanks - I updated the title of the thread - I did know about Raintree but forgot to mention it. Not sure if their properties fit my travel needs but more is better then less
Hope we do not lose Shell Vacation Club with their sale to Wyndham

Has anyone heard anything more on SVC? We would use them when we go back to wine country California if available. Current wine country plans are for Washington, but no idea where we will be able to find a centrally located resort there and if it will be Bluegreen, SFX or RCI.

There are no centrally located timeshares with respect to Washington wine country. The best option that I am aware of would be Whispering Woods, near Mt. Hood in Oregon. From there you can do day trips to the northern Willamette Valley, Columbia Gorge/Horse Heaven Hills, and even as far the Yakima Valley.

If tasting rooms will suffice, then Woodinville in suburban Seattle has more than you can visit in a week, ranging from the very large (Chateau Ste. Michelle) to a plethora of boutique operations. Most Washington wineries with any presence will be represented in Woodinville. Hood River in the Columbia Gorge also has a significant concentration of tasting rooms.

The DW checked out Woodinville and liked what she saw. Looks like we have a winner. Once again, you come through with good help on a wine related question.
