Bluegreen VacationsReviews of bluegreenvacations.com

They completely deceived me at every owner meeting that I went to, and they are so well versed in the art of deception that I didn’t realize the extent of it until I had been an owner for 16 years. They lied about where my deed was and said nothing about how much the maintenance fees would keep going up every. Single. Year. I asked to surrender my deed to them and their response: “we don’t deed them back.” They won’t even take it back!! That’s how bad their memberships are! They are the ultimate bait and switch scheme. This thing is worse than prison. In prison there is at least a chance for parole in most cases!! I still can't believe there isn't some federal oversight of timeshare sales!! BLUEGREEN VACATIONS YOU ARE DIABOLICAL FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO NORMAL HARDWORKING PEOPLE!! They are ruining lives!!

To hear these heartbreaking stories and knowing the same thing happened to me in 2019. Honestly this is criminal level scam artist. There should be laws or protections in place for consumers for this level of thievery!! I have 1500 left on my so-called mortgage. I'm paying that lie off and walking away. A very expensive and painful lesson learned!

They promise you the moon and back trying to get you to sign up!! Then, only to find out that they STRONGLY misrepresented us. Owners meetings are just an opportunity for them to pressure you to upgrade and tell more lies! We have spent probably $10,000+ on this membership, never used it, and they won’t let us cancel it. I’m working 2 jobs and can’t afford to take time off cause I’m stuck paying on this. The irony of how vastly differently this has affected our lives, as opposed to how they made us think it would, is absolutely appalling.

DO NOT get sucked into their SCAM. Any price for their garbage is too much, and maintenance fees are outrageous. You can easily find and book a fantastic VRBO for a week for what your BG maintenance fees are. BG should be shut down. Timeshares/points based products should be ILLEGAL. Outlaw this, please!!!!

Our experience with Bluegreen Vacation Club has been a nightmare. We were lured in with a $300 gift card and promises of dream vacations and nationwide RV resorts, but it’s been nothing but lies and financial stress. The "90-minute seminar" turned into 7 hours of relentless pressure to sign a contract we didn’t fully understand. They promised maintenance fees of ~$400/year (the first year it was over $750, this year it’s over $950), easy vacation booking (everything is "unavailable"), and the ability to roll over unused points (only half can roll over, and only with a $50 fee). The "orientation" they promised was just another high-pressure sales pitch to upgrade our package. We’ve received no guidance on how to use the timeshare, and every attempt to book has been met with roadblocks. It's rare that they answer the phone to make reservations. Meanwhile, their billing department has plenty of staff and is quick to hound us for payments. To make matters worse, we later found out the contract is in perpetuity—something they never disclosed during the rushed closing process. We feel trapped in a financial burden we can’t escape. Last year around this time, we tried to access our online Bluegreen account to find we had been locked out of it. Bluegreen, through their subsidiary Pinnacle, sent us threatening letters that we were suspended for not paying our nearly $1000 annual fees but THEY are the ones who locked our account. They never sent us a bill for the fees, either. Keep in mind that we have been blocked from going on vacation at every Bluegreen resort since we purchased the timeshare in July, 2018. If you’re considering a timeshare with Bluegreen, think twice. This has been one of the worst decisions we’ve ever made.

Absolute scam. This is a scam. They sale you a property that is deeded to you for 2weeks. Charge you closing cost and call you a owner. Ownership is over after 2week you don't own property anymore. However, your responsibility as a owner doesn't end. Maintance Fees, dues and so on. I'm a property investor and this should be a criminal offense. They scam you. Air Bnb is much cheaper and better quality of property if you research a little

We were blatantly lied to during Bluegreen’s high-pressure sales process. We were promised low, stable maintenance fees and the ability to take multiple trips per year neither turned out to be true. Fees jumped over $175 in the first year, and nearly every time we tried to book, nothing was available. We were also told Bluegreen would "take it back" if it didn’t work for us, that was a key reason we signed. Now, they deny ever saying that and offer no real exit except damaging our credit or paying even more. Attempts to get help are met with deflection, pressure to buy more points, or being ignored entirely. We feel trapped, lied to, and gaslit at every turn. This has become a financial and emotional burden, not the family-friendly experience we were sold. Bluegreen needs to be held accountable for its deceptive practices. We’re asking again: cancel our contract.

Their sales people were unbearably pushy. Despite our repeated declines, representatives continued to push us into purchasing a timeshare with promises about securing our future and benefiting our children. We were promised two free airline tickets to Miami and an additional 4,000 points, neither of which was fulfilled. The new owners' meeting was another attempt to upsell more points, confirming our suspicion that the entire operation is a scam. Our trip to Miami booked through Bluegreen was equally disappointing. The accommodations were far below expectations: an outdated hotel lacking promised amenities and views, with underwhelming service. Their offerings don't align with their lofty presentation promises. Using the timeshare has been a nightmare. The booking calendar is nearly impossible to use, restricting our vacation planning. Unexpected maintenance fees were sprung on us despite assurances of predictable costs. We've lost points unnecessarily, and the costs to keep them from expiring are unreasonable. The experience has caused significant emotional and financial strain. Bluegreen refuses to cancel our timeshare. We’ve tried reaching out multiple times to be released and get a refund, but they’ve refused to cooperate, leaving us trapped in an arrangement we no longer want or can use effectively. Avoid Bluegreen Vacations at all costs. Their high-pressure sales tactics, broken promises, poor accommodations, and refusal to honor cancellation requests make this our most regrettable investment. We hope this review helps others steer clear of similar financial and emotional
