In exchange for sitting through a 2 hour timeshare presentation, we were presented with two vouchers good for two airline tickets each. The catch is that you are REQUIRED to pay rack rates and stay a minimum of 5 to 10 nights at the hotels they select. The vast majority of the hotels are over 159.00 a night, several over 200.00 and some over 300.00. These same hotels can be booked for much, much less! I doubt that Bluegreen loses money on this promotion as they probably get a cut of the hotel business they create! Also, if you use both vouchers at the same time, you are required to purchase two rooms! We also received a certificate good for two free nights at select U.S. Hotels. Only problem is that the blackout dates cover almost every holiday and 7 days prior to, and after the holiday plus special events like Mardi Gras, Daytona 500, etc.
And lastly, we received a $50 restaurant certificate since we were flexible enough to make our appointment on a weeknight!
I was initially impressed with Bluegreen's properties and presentation, but I most assuredly will not buy anything from them now! Et Caveat Emptor (let the buyer beware).
