My wife and I did the Bluegreen thing at World Golf Village. When we arrived at the hotel we should have known it was a scam. Four of us and two double beds. I didn't even think they had beds that small in hotels!
The next afternoon we're off to the presentation. There was no way that I was going to spring for a purchase, but my wife wants us to have more vacations. Little did we know that the restrictions that come along with being a Sampler member are even worse than what I've heard about real 'owners'.
If you are tempted remember, no summer months for Sampler members (we understood) and no holidays before or after. The next piece is that what's going to be available is the most expensive (in points) regardless of what is shown. Then, even if it says in the contract that you can reserve 11 months out. That's really not for Sample members.
So here on 15 March, I can't get anything nearby for anytime that we can actually take vacation. Next, I can't make a reservation for September since that is over 5 months away (the limit for Sampler members)
I contacted the reps at Bluegreen and was told that I can't cancel my sampler membership. Yet what my contract reads is that I can cancel in the first ten days for a full refund, not that I can't cancel after that time.
So, now I'm going to call my bank and cancel payment on that automatic payment. I think the only question I have on the whole Ponzi scheme is when will a state AG put an end to it?!!
Stay away from Bluegreen!
