Bluegreen Corp. Reviews

Bluegreen Vacations Club has failed us completely. We face an overwhelming system that does not align to our reality. Initially we were told help was available to manage things. Later we were even promised personalized service. That did not happen. We care for our adult disabled son and have a service dog that must accompany us. One day’s travel is manageable for us. We were initially told Bluegreen was expanding into the Southwest U.S. to provide that one-day destination, but it has been years since that promise. The annual fees are quite high but we were sold on the idea of using excess points at a 15 to 1 exchange rate.

We have multiple timeshares Under one member number. We are deeply frustrated by the lack of responsiveness from Bluegreen regarding our ongoing grievances. For months, our attempts to resolve our concerns went unanswered while they continued to send invoices. We finally reached a representative named Nikkie ** who stated our account was in a "VC TERM" status due to nonpayment. However no definitive timeline or assurance regarding this cancellation will be upheld. We were told we could pursue resale, title transfer, or pay a balance of $21k plus 18 months of annual fees. We are no longer traveling like we used to, and do not need a timeshare. We attempted to sale the timeshare online for free twice, but those efforts failed. We need a clear, definitive resolution to terminate these contracts. The current stagnation and contradictory information are unacceptable, and we need intervention to ensure a release from Bluegreen.

Our Bluegreen timeshare has become a cycle of rising costs and empty promises. During the presentation, annual fees were obscured, and perks like free cruises and flights carried major hidden charges. Actual vacations were disappointing; our November trip to Aspen revealed unsafe mold issues. Booking availability is nearly non-existent, and we are forced to pay fees just to keep our points. After investing over $25,000, soaring costs led us to cease payments.

We are Posting this review to formally document the deceptive sales practice and financial harm Bluegreen Vacations has caused our family. In 24', a sales representative named Michael sold us a timeshare by promising it was a long term family asset with resale value, flexibility, and lasting financial worth. As a young, growing family, we trusted these representations and believed we were investing in our future. Every one of those promise was false. We have paid approximately $12k and have only been able to use the property for 2 nights.

If I could you zero stars I would. Honestly your sales representative don’t explain all the fine print. One week out from my vacation you cancel my booking. Worse company ever!

I am writing because I am at my wits' end with Bluegreen Vacations. My experience with this company has been a disaster from the start. I was led to believe I was purchasing 11,000 points, only to find out later that my contract actually only provides 4,000. This discrepancy is a massive blow to the value of what I thought I bought. I have spent months trying to reach a resolution. I have left countless voicemails for their representatives and their customer service line, but my calls go ignored. When I finally do get someone on the phone, the response is always a flat refusal to help. They even went so far as to play back recordings of my signing to prove I was stuck, yet they completely ignore the fact that the verbal promises made to me do not match the paperwork.

Bluegreen Vacations falsified information. I was told pets are allowed. Properties do not allow pets. I would have never purchased in the first place if you had been honest. Your dishonesty cost me. Lesson learned: Bluegreen vacations will never receive another penny from me or mine.

We have been Bluegreen Vacation Club members since September 2023 and deeply regret the decision. The sales presentation we attended was riddled with flies. We were told we could resell stays on Craigslist to offset costs — a method we had used before — only to discover this is prohibited without committing what amounts to fraud. We were told our ownership would increase in value and be easy to sell; in reality, resale value is essentially nonexistent. The "free week per year" turned out to be restricted to the least desirable travel weeks at select properties.

We were hooked in the spring of 2013 at Bass Pro Shop in Birmingham, Alabama. A friendly stranger promised us a free 2-night stay in Gatlinburg just to sit through a one-hour presentation, no obligation whatsoever. That "one hour" turned into an exhausting, high-pressure situation where we were told the deal would vanish the second we walked out the door. No time to think. No time to go home and talk it over. Sign now or lose everything. We signed. That was our mistake, and we've been paying for it ever since.

I tried multiple times to work directly with Bluegreen Vacations regarding cancellation of my ownership, but my concerns were never properly addressed. Recently, I spoke with Jennifer at Bluegreen during that conversation, I was told the account could eventually terminate for nonpayment and that Pinnacle Recovery would likely contact me. I was also told May would become the second maintenance fee due. This was concerning because I had previously been advised not to work with third parties, yet I now feel like I am being redirected away from Bluegreen rather than getting direct assistance. In addition, I was informed there would be another $4,728.64 required to exit the ownership. After already paying thousands into the program, this has added even more financial stress. I am disappointed with the lack of communication and the difficulty in finding a resolution directly through Bluegreen Vacations.
