Mar 5, 2008 Bluegreen Resorts complaint by Teresa |
What a "RIP OFF" I paid 1000$ for the sample pack vacation only because the lady trying to sell us the huge package wouldnt shut up, We were there for almost 5 hours the are very high pressure sales people. But when I tried to book our vaction I found most dates had black out times including all summer and the days around any holiday. That means my kids would have to miss school.So I tried to book a vacation for the end of Nov. the week before Thanksgiving and I was told that for 7000 out of 9000 points I could get a wed,thur and a friday. I ask about another day and the lady said I didnt have enough points to use on a weekend day, So I said well just give me the Monday after and we can book an hotel for the weekend while in orlando. Then she said I couldnt book on a monday! WHAT THE ***! So I looked on the net and found a # that you could call and get 5 nights along with 2
day 2 park tickets free to universal for only 300$ if you stay at the bluegreen resort in orlando. So I called and ask about the days that my 1000$ package couldnt book along with the Monday they said I could not use. And guess what, Those dates are available.I tried to call Bluegreen about this and I got the oh well' to bad line from them.

Yeah, we signed and now, we regret it.. we see things now that we didn't see when we signed on in 2005.
Bluegreen vacation resorts is a rip off. They have highly trained sales people which will tell you everything but the truth. They talk a "good story" they tell you things you want to hear, but none on those things are truth.
If you notice during their sales pitch, they will not offer you any written litature or brochures about their company. They will only show you a photo album and/or draw on blank paper and list things that you "will get". They won't let you get your hands on those papers. Of course not, because none of the things they offer are for real.
Some of the properties they own are older properties. Most of the rooms in those properties are already sold to owners other than bluegreen owners. Bluegreen only has a select few to offer to their program.
It will be a nightmare... if not impossible to get a reservation at a favorite vacation spot.
They sell the idea of ownership for a lifetime, but believe me, it isn't what happens.
Bluegreen sells POINTS........ period.
Nowhere in their papers or agreements does it list how much a point is in realation to the value of a dollar.
*****Therefore, bluegreen can raise the amount of points per property as they choose.
We all understand inflation when relating to dollars and percentage rates but by using points they have a deceptive way to raise the cost of a vacation stay. Consumers have a harder time figuring it out and relating to a points/value program.
Your points may get you 5 nights now, but next year they may give you only 3.
We learned this by trying to make reservations 2 years in a row at the same resort. By they way, the resort was booked and we still haven't used bluegreen.
We paid for our own vacation, bluegreen was useless for our family for the past 2 years.
Please don't waste your money like we did......

I was also a sucker. They kept us in a room for hours going back and forth on different options. We ended up paying over 8 grand for a timeshare that we cannot use because of blackout dates and everything else. If you want to use it you have to take a vacation around there schedule. We planned on saving up our points to use all at once but they have rules against that too, your points are only good for so long. I would like to spend my next vacation there protesting and picketing these ***holes! They will tell you whatever you want to hear to sell you no matter what your financial situation is.

We had the same thing happen. Tried to get Charleston SC and it was during the week only. We said at the time of sale we were really intrested in Charleston, they siad try the sampler and see how it id. Never got to Charleston. We are in Myrtle Beach instead. Today they were real nice and had us in a meeting to get us to by the mininum package. After we refused they said we did not listen. In my opinion they did not listed. We said many times Charleston was why we tried the sampler. They never offered any way to get us there. We said if we could have gotten Charleston we would see if we liked. Again they tried to sell us on everything but what we wanted. They still kept saying we did not listed. I said give me the $100 gift certificate and we are out of here. Boy did they get mad. I figured I broke even with the $100 and the stay where we did not want to stay. I thought the sales people were suppose to listen to the customer. They wanted to do all the talking and us none, just sign up for the sale. We got the certificiate and did their attitude change towars us, it was shi**y after that. Guess I made a mistake with them, butnever again. And the room we have is miccing a DVD. We had to check inventory on the room and it was missing. We asked for a DVD player two days ago and still do not have. High pressure me, got some other people, but never me again. hey kept saying I could afford with out checking. Guess I am mad about being treated like dirt after we refused.

Damnitt i wish i had known about this *** a few weeks ago my family recently got duped into purchasing the exact same thing and we already own one timeshare with westgate resorts. They said for 80 somethng bucks a mo for a whole year and we could get the points plus duirng this time they would sell our other timeshare and then we could buy from them. Oh yeah they also neglected to tell us about black out dates likewise. Sound like you had the same crutty salesperson we did. Who the *** do these ppl think they are? They get rich off ripping us poor folks off. F@%k Bluegreen and everyone who works for their lying ***
