JLB, bless your heart for continuing to be soooo helpful.

The first link that you posted to negate the info I gave above about the Bluegreen Points Transfer fee....is for fixed week owners at La Cabana.
It is the wrong information for Bluegreen Owners.

The OP owns Bluegreen points....deed is tied to an underlying unit but their unit is in the Bluegreen trust

The second and third post pertaining to people who are looking for weeks at La Cabana is just that...people looking for fixed weeks and units at La Cabana, not Bluegreen Ownership.

Got any more helpful misinformation?

To the OP.

Here is a post from the board I suggested you post your freebie on.
This person found a home for their Bluegreen Points in 3 days.

Posting for a friend:
She will pay the $450 transfer fee.

Shore Crest II

11,000 annual points.
Points renew Feb 1
Trust fund D
Sales Type P
Deeded unit 2908

Once transfer forms are submitted and finalized, new owner will be added to the account for making reservations while the transfer is in progress.

Points have a home

That could get you down to a post count of 304.

It's a shame that the bickering overrides the sad fact that the best that can be said about a timeshare brand is that when you are done with it you may be able to get out of it with nothing.

It's sad that timeshare owners have been lulled into that mindset, something that never would have been thought of 10, 15 or 20 years ago.

I am not bickering with you, I am correcting the WRONG information you are posting here about Bluegreen Vacation Club Ownership.

Not all timeshares fall into the same category but you somehow after all this time do not understand this.

I will not be deleting your comments because I do not "personally approve" of them, I am attempting to correct the WRONG information that you keep posting regarding what this OP owns.

It's still a shame that timeshare owners have become such a bunch of wussies, accepting whatever is pushed on them. So that the best and most accurate information we can give them is that when they are done with their timeshare the very best they can hope for is to get nothing. And we are to be pleased about that.

Sounds like most car purchases.

Speaking of inaccurate information

That's a very old and tired comparison, which tends to pop up every now and then.

But, $130/ton at a recycling center.

But, yeah, the consumer does accept a lot of BS that is pushed on them.

I look @ it this way, as a consumer, I'm in the end responsible for what I do with my money. Is the TS end game something salesman are willing to discuss right off the bat, probably not. Should I have asked, yep, I should of.

I was kinda peeved when I finally figured out what I could and could not do when I got into using timeshares. Peeved at me for being a bit gullible. But I learned the system, and now totally enjoy the experience

My car on the other hand.....

Timeshares are a luxury item.
It's a way to live at a level that is above your means, which would other wise probably not be possible for you on a continual basis.
The more you play the more you pay. Only problem is that quitting the game may come at a price if you didn't buy something worthwhile to begin with.
Bluegreen is great at keeping the properties nice. Trust me I know after a 3K special assessment, because the previous owner controlled board let it fall into ruin because it was used as a landlord rental business by most owners and used hard.

Bluegreen has a great mini-system and despite what you may think of these developers, they keep the appeal because of the mini-system and the continual upgrading of these properties that would otherwise fall into disrepair and ruin.
I own in several mini's and although they are a little more expensive to own, they are so worth it for the average owner who uses their luxury and wants a hassle free experience. Bluegreen provides that experience so you can usually find someone fairly easy to take your points off your hands if you give them away for free.
Free? Yes free. You want out of the game? Give them away or continue to pay to play.

I just bought a luxury car. Why? Because I wanted it. I'm not thinking about what I will get for it in the future cause my present enjoyment is all I really care about at this point. If I can sell it for something in the future, great. If not then I am okay with that too because I can understand why someone might not want my old Mercedes in 10 years. It's gonna need new parts and maintenance that will be more expensive than most may want to risk but someone will probably take it off my hands even if it's just for $1. I'm okay with that because it's a depreciating asset just like a timeshare. In the meantime I get to live above my means for a while.

I see many Bluegreens listed on eBay that can't sell for $1. In that regard, Bluegreen seems to be in the same or worse shape than the Wyndhams resales. The problem is what happens five years from now, because think back to the timeshare resales five years ago - it has declined across the board. Who knows, but if the economy takes a dive again, I'd be a little concerned about the Bluegreen resale value.

I intentionally did not post links to all of the dissatisfaction and frustration among Bluegreen owners since it is obvious how my posting of such information would be regarded on this forum. All is not rainbows and puppy dogs with Bluegreen.

The OP has not returned, but their brief comments seem to say they are not pleased with what they are facing . . . $1, if that. I sincerely hope they will return and let us know how it goes.

Anyone can google it, so as to not taint those facts by attaching a JLB to it.

still . . . sad that timeshare owners have wimped out and accepted all the garbage they are being dealt
