[csavargo Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close csavargo]

Does anybody know anything about SHELL VC.
There is a resort, Carriage Hills or Ridge just over an hour drive from Toronto.
I love to go there for long weekends or PA days...with the kids.
Considering buying, RESALE!!!! I know the drill, but
resale does not get me the VC with SHELL..
only if it is bought from developer...
I can not afford that .
Is there a way to find a loopwhole....buying from real estate agent , maybe?

Any info?
Thank you,

I am unsure what you are asking. I bought shell hawaii club resale and I can book the carridge ridge/carriage hills resort.

The pcc's are practically giving them away on ebay.

The only restriction is I can't book until 9 months out, if it is your home resort it is 12 months.

Resale has nothing to do with it.

Resale Lifestyles and elite benefits do not transfer.

Just checked a random availability and here is what shows:

2011-05-26 2011-05-30 One Bedroom 2600
2011-05-26 2011-05-30 Studio 1850
2011-05-27 2011-05-31 One Bedroom 2500
2011-05-27 2011-05-31 Studio 1750
2011-05-28 2011-06-01 One Bedroom 1950
2011-05-28 2011-06-01 Studio 1400
2011-05-29 2011-06-02 One Bedroom 1350
2011-05-29 2011-06-02 Studio 950
2011-05-30 2011-06-03 One Bedroom 1350
2011-05-30 2011-06-03 Studio 950
2011-05-31 2011-06-04 One Bedroom 1950
2011-05-31 2011-06-04 Studio 1400
2011-06-01 2011-06-05 One Bedroom 2500


I cannot see what "club" it belongs to but they are listed under the standard resort search

Are you trying to book through wyndham?

I believe this is a resort that can be accessed thru Bluegreen Vacation Club as part of their Travelers Plus Program - "Select Connections" - you have to purchase a certain number of "authorized points" thru Pinnacle Vacations to get access to this but then can get additional points for next to nothing - contact Bocabum99 on this board to get more info.

The maint fee that u pay on the BG points is considerably less then what u would have to pay Shell directly to get the same resorts

Hi there,

I am probably one of the few people here that actually owns Shell. Being in Canada I also purchased the majority of my points for this resort.

As for the "Vacation Club" that is all I am in, after saving myself the $20,000 they wanted at a presentation. As somebody else mentioned the only thing that does not come buying resale is the elite and lifestyles programs.

GrayFal does make a good point that you can book shell through BG, however you have to have BG purchased through Pinnacle or the developer in order to get the Select Connections (which is part of Travellers) plus. If you buy BG resale you WILL NOT get access to this.

If you are interested PM me and we can talk more.

Shell Sub-Forum???

Hi there,

I am probably one of the few people here that actually owns Shell. ... GrayFal does make a good point that you can book shell through BG. ... If you are interested PM me and we can talk more.

Owners of Bluegreen, like owners of many other resort groups, have a sub-forum for discussion of matters pertaining to Bluegreen ownership and resorts. Unfortunately, owners of Shell resorts have not done the same. Is there any Shell owner interested in starting such a sub-forum? The Bluegreen sub-forum is open to all (not just Bluegreen owners) and I would hope the Shell sub-forum would also be open to all.

Would love to see a Shell Sub-Forum, but it would not have a lot of traffic.

It would be interested to see what other Shell owners think of what is going on. I for one am not all that happy, and am trying to get rid of some poitns.

And I am the opposite and find I am liking it more and more. I just bought more points.

I am seeing some great deals through II but haven't had a chance to grab one yet.

[mickey moe Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close mickey moe]

I purchased Shell Pacific on ebay for a 1$ and use it to trade in Carriage Hills at 9 months.

Availability is usually easy if you plan 3 to 5 months out.

[gandalf252002 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close gandalf252002]

You are more then welcome to some of mine! What club did you pick up?

There are some decent II deals in the flex change period, but outside of that it is just too expensive average $800 to $1000 for one and two bedrooms with exchange fees. I can get better deals with the Getaways then using my points. If the ongoing exchange requests I have match then I will be happy, but otherwise the 700 point deals with RCI were better.

I have the hawaii club. I have been seeing some maui studios for as little as 750 points....I never did use the rci benefit....they never seemed to have any last minute inventory.

I am also seeing more resorts and available weeks than my foxrun trader which historically has always done well through II so I have been impressed with the shell options so far.

[gandalf252002 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close gandalf252002]

It is too bad I did not post my Hawaii club points sooner although how many points you were looking for would be a factor. Did you by any chance pick them up with some 2012 points available and MF's for this year already paid? I must also assume that you are probably out on the west coast where they have more clubs. If I did as well, it probably would not be such an issue.
