We now have new options for those with a mortgage paid off, and also new options if your mortgage hasn’t been paid”I laughed out loud when I heard “when we last spoke”.  I have NEVER explored options to exit my timeshare, let alone called these people!I have to say tho, it made me think “Did I ever talk with this company?

Maintenance fees double. They actually don’t. When you buy, Bluegreen pays your first six months of maintenance fees. Then six months after your purchase you pay the other half. Then six months after that, at your 1 year anniversary, you pay a full year’s maintenance fees, but it seems like it is double what you paid because your first bill was only for half.2. The “free” cruise isn’t free – no it isn’t. You still have to pay taxes, port fees and tips.Tue, 20 Jul 2021 18:22:00http://site5118858.bluegreentimesharesecrets.com/timeshare-discussion/bluegreen-owner-common-misunderstandingshttp://site5118858.bluegreentimesharesecrets.com/timeshare-discussion/latest-bluegreen-vacations-sales-lieThis latest complete fabrication was reported by two different owners today.   One heard it at a sales presentation in Daytona.  The other heard it at a resort yet to be disclosed.Here is the lie sales used to get someone to buy, using a fear tacticWorking on owner or potential buyer fears of increasing maintenance fees, the tactic used was to say "If you buy today, you will be upgraded to a level where your maintenance fees will be guaranteed to only go up 2% each year, whereas everyone elseMon, 10 May 2021 01:33:00http://site5118858.bluegreentimesharesecrets.com/timeshare-discussion/latest-bluegreen-vacations-sales-liehttp://site5118858.bluegreentimesharesecrets.com/timeshare-discussion/bluegreen-timeshare-sales-tacticsBluegreen Timeshare Sales TacticsThe schemes Bluegreen sales staff uses to convince a potential buyer to buy are the same tactics used by a lot of timeshare companies, and by used car salesmen.  If you google sales tactics, you will see a nicer description of all of these.  The bottom line is each tactic is used to get you to buy TODAY.  They have you in the room, and you are their commission, sitting right there.  Finally,  Bluegreen Corporate KNOWS that sales uses these tactics, andFri, 07 May 2021 13:34:34http://site5118858.bluegreentimesharesecrets.com/timeshare-discussion/bluegreen-timeshare-sales-tacticshttp://site5118858.bluegreentimesharesecrets.com/timeshare-discussion/bluegreen-traveler-s-plus-is-it-worth-itTraveler's Plus Changes  Travelers Plus has evolved over the years, but it provides ways to use points or pay cash for different types of travel like cruises, guided adventure tours, non-BG resort stays, hotel stays and RV Camping.   Beyond these core attributes, Bluegreen has added various features over the years (and eliminated others) to help incentivize purchase of points, and purchase of additional points by existing owners by offering new features they won't get unless they buy again.Wed, 05 May 2021 23:59:58http://site5118858.bluegreentimesharesecrets.com/timeshare-discussion/bluegreen-traveler-s-plus-is-it-worth-ithttp://site5118858.bluegreentimesharesecrets.com/timeshare-discussion/just-purchased-bluegreenThings you should knowWelcome BG!

They then panic, and begin to google Bluegreen to determine whether they have made a mistake.Unfortunately, those who complain are the ones who post the most about Bluegreen. To be honest, Bluegreen’s timeshare is a good product.
