      i will never use their $100 gift card why would I rebook with them? Thats an absolute trick to get money. Also why wouldnt they just rebook the correct location. If I dont show up to the wrong booking location they would has charged me an additional $299 for the entire stay. These people are nothing but scandalous. As far as Im concerned they purposely have a faulty site for booking knowing people will have to cancel or reschedule or be charged full price for a no show. You called me wanting to email me some stupid gift certificate I cant do anything with that unless I rebook. Also I reached of multiple times via email as the blue book site prompted me to. So youre not receiving messages through that site either? I then had to call to figure out what to do. Wasting my time.

      RE: Consumer File No. 23288421

      ******************************* message is in response to the Better Business Bureaus electronic mail correspondence received by Bluegreen Vacations on May 5, 2025, regarding the consumer correspondence of Mrs. **** *****. Thank you for reaching out to us on her behalf to apprise us of her inquiry.

      Bluegreen is committed to providing excellence in customer service and ensuring our owners and guests are satisfied with their overall ************* is Bluegreens goal to provide a comprehensive and responsive support network so owners and guests can focus on enjoyable and memorable vacations.

      Bluegreens records indicate *** ******* ***** and Mrs. **** ***** purchased a four-day,three-night participating partner hotel stay vacation package for $199 on May 27, 2024, with a 12-month use period which provided incentives with the requirement to attend a sales presentation and tour.

      Upon receiving the Better Business Bureaus correspondence advising of Mrs. ****** concerns, Bluegreens Club and Owner Resolution Specialist reached out to our Customer Experience team to advise of Mrs. ****** concerns.Our Customer Experience Specialist researched *** and Mrs. ****** account and spoke with Mrs. ***** by telephone on May 5, 2025, listening to her concerns and offering to add a $100 gift card to assist with rebooking their stay. ********* accepted the gift card. Our Specialist followed up immediately by email to provide confirmation and provide his direct contact information for when they are ready to rebook their stay. In addition to speaking directly with *********, Bluegreen wishes to respond to Mrs. ****** concern through the Better Business Bureau as well.

      Mrs. ****** primary concern is the $99 cancellation fee for cancelling her reservation less than 14 days prior to her scheduled check-in date. Mrs. ***** states that the online booking system caused an error in her booking and when she reached out to cancel, she was charged a $99 cancellation fee. Our records indicate that Mrs. ***** reached out by telephone on May 2, 2025, stating her reservation was for the wrong location. She was advised she would be required to pay a fee for changing the reservation since her check-in was less than 14 days away. On May 5, 2025, ********* stated by telephone she did not want to cancel the reservation and be charged the late cancellation fee and would keep the reservation. Later the same day, Mrs. ***** reached out again by telephone, cancelled the reservation,and was charged the $99 late cancellation fee. Bluegreen would advise that ***and Mrs. ****** purchase receipt provides our Rescheduling/No-show policy. Our Rescheduling/No-show policy states because Bluegreen subsidizes the cost of the promotional offer to provide a discounted price, a scheduled reservation may be modified. However, modifications and cancellations made more than 14 days prior to the scheduled check-in date require a $49 fee. Modifications and cancellations (including no-shows) made 14 days or fewer days prior to the scheduled check-in date require a $99 fee. As stated, by making a reservation,the guest agrees to this policy.

      Bluegreen appreciates Mrs. ***** for bringing her concerns to our attention through the Better Business Bureau where we could provide an expedient and satisfactory resolution. As previously mentioned, our Specialist provided ********* with a $100 gift card to assist as they move forward with rebooking their vacation package stay. Should Mrs. ***** have further questions, we invite her to contact our Customer Experience Specialist at the direct contact information provided.

Thank you for reaching out to us on her behalf to apprise us of her continuing inquiry.

      Upon receiving the Better Business Bureaus correspondence advising of Mrs. ****** rebuttal, Bluegreens Club and Owner Resolution Specialist reached out to our Customer Experience team to advise of Mrs. ****** rebuttal.Our Customer Experience Specialist spoke with Mrs. ***** by telephone on May *******, listening to her concerns, offering to provide a refund of the $99 late cancellation fee instead of the $100 gift card and inviting her to book new dates for their vacation package stay. Mrs. ***** accepted the refund instead of the gift card and stated they had just returned from a vacation. Therefore, our Specialist also offered to provide a complimentary ($100 value) 12-month extension to allow ***************** time to rebook their stay and provided her direct contact information to assist them further when they are ready.

      We would like to express our concern regarding the challenges weve faced following our Bluegreen timeshare purchase. Initially approached at *************, we found ourselves persuaded to attend a sales presentation. The sales process left us feeling overwhelmed and under considerable pressure, which contributed to our decision to move ********** a military family, it is particularly disheartening to reflect on the promises made during the process, especially assurances that we could vacation without restrictions. With deployment a constant possibility they preyed upon our hopes for family time. These promises greatly influenced our decision but unfortunately have not been an accurate representation of what actually happened.Additionally, while reviewing our documents, we realized that a resort with which we had a deed was permanently closed due to a hurricane in 2016. We were still consistently paying fees on this property from 2016 until 2022, when we made our next upgrade. Where did that money go? Did it just go into someone's pocket? This is extremely frustrating to learn.We are reaching out to request your assistance in resolving this matter. Our hope is to cancel our timeshare ownership along with a full refund, especially due to the closed resort we paid for nearly 6 years. We would sincerely appreciate any support or guidance the Better Business Bureau can provide to help address these concerns and reach a resolution.

      RE: Consumer File No. 23286937

      Dear Ms. ********************* message is in response to the Better Business Bureaus electronic mail correspondence received by Bluegreen Vacations on May 5, 2025, regarding the consumer correspondence of *** ******* ***** and **** ****** ****** Thank you for reaching out to us on their behalf to apprise us of their inquiry.

      Bluegreen is committed to providing excellence in customer service and ensuring our owners and guests are satisfied with their overall experience. It is Bluegreens goal to provide a comprehensive and responsive support network so owners and guests can focus on enjoyable and memorable vacations.

      Bluegreens records indicate that *** ******* ***** and **** ****** ***** first purchased a Sampler Membership with the Bluegreen Vacation Club in March 2008, with a one-time allotment of ***** Vacation Club Points available to use for a 12-month period. *** and **** ***** subsequently purchased a timeshare interest with the Bluegreen Vacation Club on December ******** *** and **** ***** then increased their Points interest by purchasing additional Points and by completing multiple equity trades on April 21, 2012,December 22, 2012, December 27, 2016, December 16, 2017, October 1, 2021, and December 22, 2022. *** and **** ****** timeshare interest confers ownership of ******* Biennial Vacation Club Points and Premier Diamond membership.

      Upon receipt of your correspondence advising of *** and **** ****** concerns, our Club and Owner Resolution Specialist reached out to *** and **** ***** by telephone and email on May 5 and May ******, resulting in leaving messages that we wish to speak with them regarding their Better Business Bureau correspondence and providing direct contact information. Our Specialist reached out to *** and **** ***** by telephone again on May 9, 2025, leaving a voice message that we are trying to reach them and providing direct contact information. Our Specialist received a response from *** ***** requesting to schedule an appointment for a date after our response is due to the Better Business Bureau. Although we have yet to speak with *** and **** ***** directly, Bluegreen wishes to respond to their concerns through the Better Business Bureau.

      *** and **** ****** first concern regarding the pressure they state they felt to purchase at the sales presentation. Bluegreen would advise that *** and **** ***** were not under any obligation to purchase or sign contracts. Our sales teams share a wealth of information about our product. However, *** and **** ***** could have left our welcome center without purchasing if they felt the Bluegreen product did not suit their vacation needs.

      *** and **** ****** second concern is regarding the restriction they have experienced as a military family when booking vacations through their ownership. Bluegreen would like to thank the Tager family for their years of military service and commitment to our country. *** and **** ***** were advised during the sales presentation that Bluegreens business operates on a reservation booking window. This booking window offers owners the widest selection of vacations when an owner confirms reservations in advance. Owner Confirmation Interview Section 3 describes the booking lead time. It states that reservations at Vacation Club accommodations can be booked from 11 months to two days in advance of the owners travel dates. Section 3 also states that reservations are based on space availability and are not guaranteed until confirmed. *** and **** ***** initialed beside Section 3, indicating they understood that vacations would be based upon availability at the time of confirming a reservation. Furthermore, if *** and **** ***** want additional information about reserving vacations, we invite them to call our customer service contact center. Our contact center is open six days a week to assist *** and **** ***** in getting the most out of their Bluegreen ownership.Bluegreen contact center agents do not have restrictions on their talk times,so an agent could stay on the telephone with *** and **** ***** for as long as needed to provide guidance, answer questions, and book reservations. However,a thorough review of their account reveals that *** and **** ***** booked and could have traveled on 77 reservations at many different Bluegreen resorts during the years they have owned.

      Third, *** and **** ***** are concerned regarding their contract reflecting Blue Water Resort at Cable Beach inventory. *** and ********* question what happened to the maintenance fees that were paid during the six years in which the Blue Water Resort was closed, prior to upgrading in 2022. Bluegreen understands *** and **** ****** concern regarding their ownership, since the Blue Water Resort at *********** property is no longer operational due to the extensive damage sustained by Hurricane ******** The Owner Beneficiary Agreement at Section 4: Common Assessment Fees and Club Dues sets forth that maintenance fees are billed annually as a base amount plus an added amount per Vacation Club Point. The base rate and the per Vacation Club Point rate are set each calendar year by the owners association of the Bluegreen Vacation Club properties based on the actual expenses for maintaining the properties. Bluegreen would advise maintenance fees provide critical financial support for areas such as maintenance and insurance for the resorts as well as operational expenses such as the owner website and the call center. However,as *** and **** ***** completed an equity trade on December 22, 2022, their deeded location is now at ********************************, ********* Bluegreen would also advise that the location of *** and **** ****** property is immaterial when *** and **** ***** reserves vacations for their personal use because their Points can be used to book any available Bluegreen property or can be used with RCI to book an RCI-affiliated resort.

      Bluegreens Club and Owner Resolution team has reviewed *** and **** ****** ownership closely since receiving their Better Business Bureau correspondence. After review, Bluegreen finds that ***and **** ***** remain bound to the terms of the purchase agreement and promissory note they executed for their timeshare purchase. Bluegreen will not provide the cancellation and refund requested for *** and **** ****** At this writing, *** and **** ****** mortgage loan in connection with their timeshare purchase on December 22, 2022, is currently 113 days past due.Bluegreens ******************* has called, emailed, and sent letters to ***and **** ***** to advise them of the delinquency and provide an opportunity to bring their loan current. Should *** and **** ***** elect not to continue mortgage payments, their loan may be charged off due to nonpayment of mortgage.Should *** and **** ***** have any further questions or concerns, they have the direct contact information for our Specialist.

      Sincerely,

      ****** *******

      Despite several attempts to reach out to Bluegreen, we cant seem to receive a response.

      Complaint: 23273647

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Dear ***** *.,


      Thank you for your follow-up regarding my complaint against Bluegreen. I have reviewed Ms. ******** response and find it wholly unsatisfactory. Her letter dismisses my legitimate concerns, misrepresents critical aspects of my experience, and continues to deflect responsibility, leaving me with no choice but to reject her response.
      Bluegreens emphasis on contractual fine print while ignoring the heart of the issue is concerning. The sales tactics I encountered during my timeshare purchase were manipulative and high-pressure. While I may not have proof from the original sales presentations, I possess a recording from a subsequent presentation in ********* that clearly displays the deceptive nature of these sales practices. Bluegreens response denies this behavior outright, hiding behind agreements that owners like myself were coerced into signing without being fully informed verbally. They hide behind the fine print that they dont let you review before you sign.
      The dismissive remarks regarding the poor accommodations during my stay demonstrate their lack of accountability. The room I was assigned, labeled as a Presidential Suite, failed to deliver on any standard of quality. Overlooking a noisy parking lot instead of a pool, it featured hazardous conditions like a raised rug, poorly marked patio doorframes, and subpar maintenance throughout. The grill was unusable, the assigned building was under renovation causing further inconveniences, and my request to stay in Building 9, submitted months in advance, was ignored. If Bluegreen cannot guarantee specific accommodations, as they claim, then why promise a certain level of experience in their marketing? This demonstrates a pattern of overpromising and under-delivering.
      The most appalling aspect of Bluegreens response is their assertion that they will not provide the cancellation requested. This is misleading at best. I was offered a release option, but it came with an exorbitant fee amounting to thousands of dollars. This fee is a blatant symbol of corporate greed. Bluegreen seems willing to release ownership only after squeezing more money out of its customers, despite already profiting from years of maintenance fees and upfront costs. Their intent to resell the interest to a new buyer while collecting an excessive release fee demonstrates a lack of integrity and fairness. How is that fair? 
      I am urging the BBB to hold Bluegreen accountable and to push for a resolution where my release request is honored with the fee entirely waived. Bluegreens current practices prey on their customers, and it is time they face consequences for this ongoing exploitation.
      Thank you for your continued assistance in this matter.

      Sincerely,

      ***** ******

      substandard and did not match the pool-view description. Instead, it overlooked a noisy parking lot and Interstate Drive. The unit had multiple issues, including a hazardous split rug, inadequate air conditioning in one bedroom, trip hazards at patio doors, and an unclean grill. Renovation noise and limited parking accessibility added to the inconveniences. Despite reserving six months in advance and requesting a specific building, my input was disregarded.When I brought up my concerns, including these issues and my overall dissatisfaction with the timeshare, BGs response was dismissive ("We are sad to hear that your stay with us was less than excellent"). Instead of resolving my issues, their representative Carlito was rude and *********** has made exiting this arrangement unnecessarily difficult. Their deceptive practices and lack of resolution to my complaints leave me deeply dissatisfied. I request ** cancel my contracts immediately without further financial burden.

      RE: Consumer File No. 23273647

      ********************************** message is in response to the Better Business Bureaus electronic mail correspondence received by Bluegreen Vacations on May 1, 2025, regarding the consumer correspondence of Ms.***** ******* Thank you for reaching out to us on her behalf to apprise us of her inquiry.

      Bluegreen is committed to providing excellence in customer service and to ensuring our owners and guests are satisfied with their overall experience. It is Bluegreens goal to provide a comprehensive and responsive support network so our owners and guests can focus on enjoyable and memorable vacations.

      Bluegreens records indicate that Ms. ***** ****** purchased a Bluegreen Vacation Club timeshare interest on March 23, 2015. Ms. ****** subsequently increased her ownership interest by purchasing additional Points on November 28, 2017, and completing an equity trade on December 7, 2019. Ms. ****** also purchased additional Points on December 7, 2023, and November 16, 2024, but these purchase contracts were both canceled within the statutory rescission period. Ms. ******* timeshare interests confer ownership of ****** Biennial Vacation Club Points and Premier Silver membership.

      Upon receipt of your correspondence advising of Ms. ******* concerns, and in accordance with Bluegreens desire to provide each owner with education,resolution, and ongoing service, one of our Club and Owner Resolution Specialists attempted to reach Ms. ****** by telephone and email on May 2, 2025,leaving messages to notify her that we would like to speak with her to address her Better Business Bureau correspondence. Our Specialist again reached out to Ms. ****** by telephone and email on May 5, 2025, again leaving messages that we are trying to reach her and providing direct contact information. Although we have been unable to speak with Ms. ****** directly, Bluegreen wishes to respond to her concerns through the Better Business Bureau.

      Ms. ******* first concern is regarding continuing to be billed for maintenance fees when her mortgage loans are paid in full. Maintenance fees are discussed at the time of purchase and detailed in the Owner Beneficiary Agreement and the Owner Confirmation Interview. The Terms and Conditions of the Owner Beneficiary Agreement Section 4: Common Assessment Fees and Club Dues set forth that maintenance fees are billed annually as a base amount plus an added amount per Vacation Club Point.Section 4 provides that Bluegreen has the right to increase or decrease fees from time to time. Owner Confirmation Interview Section 8 also advises that maintenance fees and Club Dues are annual owner obligations calculated based on the number of Vacation Club Points owned. Ms. ****** initialed next to Section 8, indicating her understanding and consent. Bluegreen endeavors to make maintenance fees manageable for owners by offering several payment options for maintenance fees, including installment plans of three months, longer payment plans, and advance prepayments before the maintenance fee bill is due. These options would be available to Ms. ****** if she wishes to discuss with our Specialist.

      Ms. ******* second concern is with the requirement to pay upcoming maintenance fees in order to proceed with the relief our Specialist offered during their conversation on February 3, 2025. Bluegreen would certainly love to have Ms. ****** retain her ownership, pay the upcoming Maintenance Fees, and enjoy continued usage of her Club points. However, if she is interested in exiting the ownership, the parameters the Specialist offered are accurate and would provide a safe and expedient exit from the Vacation **************************** have any questions about the process or its requirements, she has the contact information for our Specialist.

      Ms. ******* third concern is that she wants all future contact to be in writing. Our records indicate that our Specialist corresponded with Ms. ****** by email on March ******** providing a detailed breakdown of all available options for her account at that time. However, Bluegreen maintains that our Specialist can provide the best assistance to Ms. ****** on a two-way telephone conversation. Our Specialist would be happy to summarize any telephone conversation in writing via email following the telephone call so that Ms. ****** will have written documentation for her records. Although our Specialist has not been able to speak with Ms. ****** on this occasion,Bluegreen wishes to respond in writing. Please consider this written response to the Better Business Bureau as Bluegreens written response to Ms. ****** as well.

      Ms. ******* next concern is regarding attending owner update presentations. Ms. ****** states she felt pressure to purchase additional Points when attending an owner update in November 2024. Bluegreen would remind Ms. ****** that as a deeded owner with Bluegreen, she is not under any obligation to attend owner update presentations when she vacations with Bluegreen using her ownership if she does not wish to participate. However, ********* is always welcome to attend a presentation should she wish to learn more about her ownership, hear Bluegreens current sales offers, or obtain the gifts given for attending a presentation. Our owner update presentations are designed to answer questions,provide information, and present offers for enhancing Vacation Club ownership.Owner update presentations impart a great deal of information about how to use the ownership, including information about how Vacation Club usage may be enhanced by purchasing additional Vacation Club Points. Ms. ****** did not need to consider information presented about purchasing additional Points if she was not interested in expanding her ownership at that time.

      Ms. ****** also has a concern regarding representations she states were made during the sales presentation. Bluegreen does not have documentation from the sales site that differs from the details in the contract documents.The Owner Confirmation Interview in Section 13 states that salespersons are not authorized to make oral representations, promises, or offers that modify the contract documents. Section 13 provided a space for Ms. ****** to write any promises or commitments that were important to her purchase decision that are not otherwise covered in writing. Ms. ****** completed this field by writing None, indicating no outside promises or commitments were made by Bluegreen.Furthermore, the Terms and Conditions of the Owner Beneficiary Agreement in Section 24 provide that Ms. ******* as a purchaser, should not rely on any oral or written representations that are not set forth in the contract documents.

      Ms. ******* next concern involves an experience she had with a resort villa that did not meet her expectations for resort accommodations or satisfy her requests. Ms. ****** requested a pool-view in a specific building for her stay but was not assigned such a villa when she arrived at the resort. Bluegreen aims to provide beautiful resort vacations and exemplary customer service at all our ********************** Club accommodations. However,the reservation booking system does not allow contact center agents or the owner website to guarantee either a specific building within the resort or a particular view from the room. Our contact center agents are pleased to note an owners requests on a reservation, but we are unable to guarantee a particular location or view based on system limitations and the need to preserve flexibility for resort operations. While special requests for accommodations are never guaranteed at Bluegreen, our resort staff and contact center agents are pleased to assist with any challenges our owners experience with reservations or accommodations. It is standard practice for our team members at resort properties to assist owners during their stays, such as by offering to repair broken items, clean areas needing attention, or move Ms. ****** to another resort villa accommodation if one should be available. In addition to working with the resort team on site, we encourage owners and guests to call our customer service contact center about their resort service experiences,as our customer service agents can review their situation and assist with their concerns appropriately.

      Ms. ****** also has a concern that she feels we have not been helpful in addressing her concerns with her ownership. Bluegreen appreciates Ms. ****** informing us of her frustration with the assistance she has received from Bluegreens representatives and the previous Club and Owner Resolution Specialist to assist her. We sincerely regret if Ms. ****** did not feel her concerns were addressed appropriately by the previous Specialist. We take owners feedback seriously and are grateful for the chance to review our servicing for any improvement opportunities.

      Ms. ******* final concern is regarding the difficulty she has experienced in exiting her ownership. Bluegreen would advise that the statutory rescission period for the ********* purchase contract provides the applicable cancellation policy for a Vacation Club purchase. The rescission period is included in the Owner Beneficiary Agreement for Ms. ******* review. The Owner Beneficiary Agreement states the rescission period on the signature page in bold text and capital letters immediately above the signature lines where ********* signed to make her timeshare purchase. Ms. ****** had a physical copy of the Owner Beneficiary Agreement document in her possession when she left the sales presentation and purchase meeting; therefore, she had an opportunity to read through this document right away after purchasing or later at her leisure.If Ms. ****** had doubts about the Bluegreen product or its suitability for her personal vacation needs, she could have promptly reviewed her contract documents during the rescission period and followed the instructions to cancel,if desired. This rescission period is the only time the contract provides for Bluegreen to cancel a purchase upon request. Unfortunately, with the exception of her upgrade contracts signed on December 7, 2023, and November 16, 2024, Bluegreen did not receive a request to cancel from Ms. ****** during the rescission period.

      Bluegreen believes we offer a valuable vacation ownership but understands that some owners may wish or need to come to an end with the Bluegreen product. Owner Confirmation Interview Section 14 provides that no one is authorized to guarantee that Bluegreen will repurchase or resell a timeshare interest. In addition, the Terms and Conditions of the Owner Beneficiary Agreement Section 5: Purchasers Acknowledgments disclaim the investment potential of the ownership and state there is no guaranteed buyback of the timeshare. While Bluegreen does not repurchase or resell timeshare interests,Bluegreen does allow owners to resell their ownership interests. Bluegreen refers owners interested in resale to our authorized third-party resale agent who can advise owners regarding resale information, but Bluegreen is not party to that conversation.

      Bluegreens Club and Owner Resolution team has reviewed Ms. ******* ownership closely. After doing so, Bluegreen finds that ********* remains responsible under the terms of the purchase agreements she executed for her timeshare purchases. Outside of the relief option discussed with Ms. ****** on February 3, 2025, and reviewed with her by email on March 18, 2025, Bluegreen will not provide the cancellation requested by Ms. ******* Our records indicate that the mortgage loans associated with Ms. ******* purchase contracts signed on March 23, 2015, and December 7, 2019, are paid in full. ********** purchase contract dated November 28, 2017, has since been equity traded in the upgrade process and is therefore no longer active. Should ********* have any further questions or concerns, she has the direct contact information of our Specialist.

      Sincerely,

      RE: Consumer File No. 23273647

      Dear Ms. ********************* message is in response to the Better Business Bureaus electronic mail correspondence received by Bluegreen Vacations on May 1, 2025, regarding the consumer correspondence of Ms. ***** ******, and her rebuttal correspondence received on May 16, 2025. Thank you for reaching out to us on her behalf to apprise us of her continuing inquiry.

      Prior to Bluegreens receipt of Ms. ******* rebuttal correspondence, ********* replied by email on May 13, 2025 to our Specialists correspondence dated May 5, 2025, advising that she prefers correspondence in writing only. As a result, our Specialist suspended calls to Ms. ****** that we usually find helpful in addressing an owners concerns, respecting Ms. ******* request for written communication by emailing her on May 20, 2025. This email provided a recap of Bluegreens position and outlined all options available for Ms. ******* account. In addition to responding by email,Bluegreen wishes to respond to ********** concerns via the Better Business Bureau as well.

      Ms. ******* rebuttal correspondence expands on the same concerns stated in her original correspondence to the Better Business Bureau. Bluegreen reiterates the positions described in our earlier reply correspondence dated May 9, 2025, on all subjects therein. Bluegreen would also like to respond to the additional concerns in Ms. ******* rebuttal correspondence.

      Ms. ******* first concern is regarding pressure she states she felt to purchase during the sales presentation. Bluegreen would advise that Ms. ****** was not under any obligation to purchase or sign contracts. Our sales teams share a wealth of information about our product. However, Ms. ****** could have left our welcome center without purchasing if she felt the Bluegreen product did not suit her vacation needs.

      Ms. ******* final concern is that she feels she was not permitted to review the full contract before completing her purchase. Our sales presentations impart a great deal of information to prospective owners. Due to the volume of information shared during the presentation, the time can be lengthy.Bluegreen attempts to abbreviate this lengthy process by summarizing the most pertinent details of the ownership when reviewing the Owner Confirmation Interview. If ********* wanted additional time to review the purchase information and documentation before signing, she was free to request additional time with the documents from a Bluegreen representative before executing the purchase paperwork. However, if Ms. ****** was willing to complete the purchase without fully reading her contract documents, Bluegreen still provided Ms. ****** the days following her purchase as her statutory rescission period to review her contract at her leisure. As with any contractual purchase she might make, it is Ms. ******* responsibility to review her contract documents for understanding and request clarification as needed.

      Bluegreen desires to be responsive to ********** concerns and resolve this matter. However, Bluegreen remains firm that, outside of the relief option discussed with ********* on February 3, 2025, and reviewed with her by email on March 18, 2025, we will not cancel and release Ms. ****** from further financial obligation. To review, our records indicate that the mortgage loans associated with Ms. ******* purchase contracts signed on March 23, 2015, and December 7, 2019, are paid in full. ********** purchase contract dated November 28, 2017, has since been equity traded in the upgrade process and is therefore no longer active. Should Ms. ****** have any further questions or concerns, she has the direct contact information for our Specialist.

      Sincerely,

      Customer Answer

      Date: 06/03/2025

      Dear Ms. ********************* you for your continued assistance in addressing this matter. After reviewing Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited, Inc.'s response to my complaint, I must firmly reject their position as it fails to adequately address my concerns or provide a fair resolution.


      Bluegreens unwillingness to accept any responsibility for the issues I have repeatedly raised reflects a troubling pattern. Their customer reviews contain claims similar to mine, yet they appear committed to denying any fault. While I understand they do not wish to admit wrongdoing, the least they can do is release me from this agreement without imposing an unreasonable and unmerited exit fee. Considering the substantial amount of money I have already paid over the years coupled with my poor experience, this would be a fair and equitable resolution.


      To reiterate, my dissatisfaction is rooted in the following issues I personally experienced with Bluegreens program and accommodations, some of which Ive shared directly with them previously:
              1) The room I booked, marketed as a Presidential Suite, did not meet the implied standards. It overlooked the parking lot and International Drive rather than the pool, as advertised, with constant noise disrupting peace during the stay.
              2) There were various hazards and maintenance issues, including an unclean grill, trip hazards on the patio door and living room rug, and unresolved problems with air conditioning in one of the bedrooms.
              3) Additionally, the building was under renovation, which limited accessibility and added significant noise. Despite booking months in advance and specifically requesting Building 9, my request was disregarded.


      These points illustrate how my expectations as a customer were not met, and I do not feel my concerns were treated seriously during my stay or in subsequent communications.


      While Bluegreen claims they are offering a resolution, the $6,192.50 exit fee they demand is both unreasonable and unwarranted. I consider this fee a punitive measure rather than part of a good-faith effort to resolve my concerns.
      I must emphasize that I am requesting to be released from this agreement immediately and without any exit fee. Given the circumstances, including the dissatisfaction and significant financial contributions I have already made, I believe this to be a respectful and justified request.


      Thank you again for your support and attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you regarding the next steps to reach a fair resolution.


      Best regards,
      ***** ******

      RE: Consumer File No. 23273500

      ********************************** message is in response to the Better Business Bureaus electronic mail correspondence received by Bluegreen Vacations on May 1, 2025, regarding the consumer correspondence of ******************** you for reaching out to us on his behalf to apprise us of his inquiry.

      Bluegreen is committed to providing excellence in customer service and to ensuring our owners and guests are satisfied with their overall experience. It is Bluegreens goal to provide a comprehensive and responsive support network so our owners and guests can focus on enjoyable and memorable vacations.

      Bluegreens records indicate that *** ***** **** and Mrs. ***** **** purchased a Bluegreen Vacation Club timeshare interest on November 29, 2016. *** and Mrs. **** subsequently increased their Points interest by purchasing additional contracts on January 27, 2017, June 7, 2019, and by completing an equity trade on March 7, 2023. *** and Mrs. ***** timeshare interest confers ownership of ****** Annual Vacation Club Points and Premier Gold membership.

      Upon receipt of your correspondence advising of *** ***** concerns, and in accordance with Bluegreens desire to provide each owner with education,resolution, and ongoing service, our Club and Owner Resolution Specialist reached out to *** **** by telephone and email on May 2, 2025, resulting in leaving messages that we wish to speak with him regarding his Better Business Bureau correspondence and providing direct contact information. Our Specialist reached out again by telephone on May 5 and May 6, 2025, resulting in leaving messages that we are trying to reach him and providing direct contact information. Although we have been unable to speak with *** **** directly, Bluegreen wishes to respond to his concerns through the Better Business Bureau.

      *** ***** first concern states he has been told they need to maximize their ownership. Bluegreen is firmly of the opinion that all Vacation Club Points are valuable for reserving enjoyable and memorable vacations. There is no single right amount of Points. *** and Mrs. **** could reserve a wealth of vacations prior to their upgrading, and they only expanded their vacation opportunities when they completed additional upgrade purchases. As seen in *** and Mrs. ***** own reservation history, their previous Points total of ****** Annual Vacation Club Points, prior to completing their upgrade in March 2023, are highly valuable. Since 2017, *** and Mrs. **** have reserved and personally or through a guest traveled on twenty (21) separate reservations at various Bluegreen resorts for fewer than ****** Points per reservation. As these vacations prove,their ownership offers great vacation opportunities for their family and friends. In addition, *** and Mrs. **** remain engaged with the Bluegreen product and recently had a vacation scheduled for this year in February 2025.

      *** ***** secondly questions the benefit changes due to the upgrade they completed on March 7, 2023. *** **** advises there has never been any real benefits by increasing their ownership. As mentioned above,Bluegreen does believe that all Vacation Club Points are valuable; however, by upgrading to a Gold ownership, *** and Mrs. **** receive additional benefits with their ownership. As a Gold Premier owner, *** and Mrs. **** could now utilize the Premier Wait List benefit, Points for payment of maintenance fees,increased Bluegreen Rewards, and discounted Bonus Time rates on presidential units.

      *** ***** third concern involves the ability to resell their ownership. Bluegreen would remind *** and Mrs. **** that they purchased a timeshare ownership that is intended to be a lifetime ownership.Bluegreen would advise that the Terms and Conditions of the Owner Beneficiary Agreement in Section 1(a): Trust Agreement indicate that *** and Mrs. ***** ownership is intended to be perpetual, creating a lifetime of vacations.Additionally, Owner Confirmation Interview Section 10(c) provides that the ownership is intended to create a lifetime of vacations and that Bluegreen does not offer a formal buyback program, and that the secondary market for timeshares is limited. *** and Mrs. **** initialed next to Section 10(c),indicating their understanding and consent. Bluegreen believes we offer a valuable vacation ownership but understands that some owners may wish or need to come to an end with the Bluegreen product. However, the Terms and Conditions of the Owner Beneficiary Agreement in Section 5: Purchasers Acknowledgments disclaim the investment potential of the ownership and state there is no guaranteed buyback of the timeshare. While Bluegreen does not repurchase or resell timeshare interests, Bluegreen does allow owners to resell their ownership interests. Bluegreen refers owners interested in resale to our authorized third-party resale agent who can advise owners regarding resale information, but Bluegreen is not party to that conversation.

      Ms. ***** next concern is regarding the maintenance fees for their ownership.Maintenance fees are discussed at the time of purchase and detailed in the Owner Beneficiary Agreement and the Owner Confirmation Interview. Owner Beneficiary Agreement Section 4: Common Assessment Fees and Club Dues sets forth that maintenance fees are billed annually as a base amount plus an added amount per Vacation *********** Section 4 provides that Bluegreen has the right to increase or decrease fees from time to time. Owner Confirmation Interview Section 8 also advises that maintenance fees and Club Dues are owner obligations calculated based on the number of Vacation Club Points owned. ***and Mrs. **** initialed next to Section 8, indicating their understanding and consent. Bluegreen endeavors to make maintenance fees manageable for owners by offering several payment options for maintenance fees, including installment plans of three months, longer payment plans, and advance prepayments before the maintenance fee bill is due.

      *** **** also states concern that they are unable to use their ownership due to a change in their health. Bluegreen empathizes with the unfortunate circumstances of *** and Mrs. ***** health issues that have come about since their timeshare purchase with Bluegreen. Bluegreen understands that owners circumstances may change over time which is why Bluegreen endeavors to make maintenance fees manageable for owners by offering several payment options for maintenance fees. Generally, illness and health concerns are not a sufficient basis for cancellation of a Bluegreen contract, as Bluegreen is of the opinion that the owners other family members, friends, and personal contacts remain able to utilize the ownership even as one of the primary owners travel is affected. Still, Bluegreen appreciates *** **** for sharing the health challenges affecting them and sends wishes for good health and recovery.

      *** ***** final concern is with the requirement to pay upcoming maintenance fees in order to proceed with the relief our Specialist offered in their December 13, 2024,conversation. Bluegreen would certainly love to have *** and Mrs. **** retain their ownership, pay the upcoming Maintenance Fees and enjoy continued usage of their Club points. However, if they are interested in exiting the ownership,the parameters the Specialist offered are accurate and would provide a safe and expedient exit from the Vacation ***************************************** and Owner Resolution team has reviewed *** and Mrs. ***** ownership closely. After doing so, Bluegreen finds that *** and Mrs. **** remain responsible under the terms of the purchase agreement they executed for their timeshare purchase. Bluegreen will not provide the cancellation requested for *** and Mrs. ***** Bluegreen wishes to advise that *** and Mrs. ***** timeshare purchased on March 7, 2023, has been paid in full. Should *** **** have any further questions or concerns, he has the direct contact information of our Specialist.

      Bluegreen is committed to providing excellence in customer service and ensuring our owners and guests are satisfied with their overall experience. It is Bluegreens goal to provide a comprehensive and responsive support network so owners and guests can focus on enjoyable and memorable vacations.

      Bluegreens records indicate that ********************* and Ms. ******** ****** purchased a timeshare interest with the Bluegreen Vacation Club on November 14, 2021. At one time, Mr. ********** and Ms. ******* timeshare interest conferred ownership of ****** Annual Vacation Club Points.

      Upon receipt of your correspondence advising of Ms. ******* concerns, our Club and Owner Resolution Specialist reached out to Mr.********** and Ms. ****** by telephone on May 2, 2025, resulting in speaking with them. Our Specialist reiterated that their contract was terminated on July 29, 2024, due to the nonpayment of their mortgage loan. Mr. ********** and Ms. ****** stated they are disputing the termination due to nonpayment because they stopped paying due to lack of availability. Our Specialist advised this in no way ******* their financial obligation to continue payment for their mortgage loan. Our Specialist reinforced again that they are no longer Bluegreen ********** ********** and Ms. ****** stated they understood. In addition to speaking with Mr. ********** and Ms. ****** directly about their ownership, Bluegreen wishes to respond to Mr. ********** and Ms. ******* concern through the Better Business Bureau as well.

      Mr. ********** and Ms. ******* primary concern is they state they are wanting an update on their ownership. It is unclear what type of update Mr. ********** and Ms. ****** are requesting as they are no longer Bluegreen owners and have been advised multiple times by telephone and in writing that their ownership was charged off due to nonpayment on July 29, 2024. As our Specialist mentioned during their conversation on May 2, 2025, two other Specialist previously advised Mr. ********** and Ms. ****** by telephone on both August 8, 2024 and January 10, 2025, that their contract had been terminated due to nonpayment.

      Bluegreens Club and Owner Resolution team has reviewed Mr. ********** and Ms. ******* terminated ownership since receiving Ms. ******* Better Business Bureau correspondence. After review, Bluegreen finds that Mr. ********** and Ms. ****** remain bound to the terms of the purchase agreement and promissory note they executed for their timeshare purchase. Bluegreen will not provide the cancellation and refund requested for Mr. ********** and Ms. ******* However, as already mentioned, Bluegreen would advise that Mr. ********** and Ms. ******* mortgage loan for their timeshare purchase on November 14, 2021, charged off due to nonpayment on July 29, 2024. Mr. ********** and Ms. ****** are therefore no longer Bluegreen owners and have been removed from our system. Should Mr. ********** and Ms. ****** have any further questions, we invite them to reach out to our Specialist at the direct contact information provided.

Thank you for reaching out to us on his behalf to apprise us of his inquiry.

      Bluegreen is committed to providing excellence in customer service and ensuring our owners and guests are satisfied with their overall experience. It is Bluegreens goal to provide a comprehensive and responsive support network so owners and guests can focus on enjoyable and memorable vacations.

      Bluegreens records indicate *** ********* ** and Ms. ******* ******* purchased a four-day, three-night participating partner hotel stay vacation package for $279 on February 21, 2025, with a 12-month use period which provided incentives with the requirement to attend a sales presentation and tour.

      Upon receiving the Better Business Bureaus correspondence advising of ****** concerns, Bluegreens Club and Owner Resolution Specialist reached out to our Customer Experience team to advise of *** *** concerns. Our Customer Experience Specialist researched *** *** account and spoke with *** ** by telephone on May 6, 2025, listening to his concerns, apologizing for the issues with receiving his Choice Privileges Points incentive, explaining the Points were incorrectly applied to the wrong account, and advising we are working to get it resolved. *** ** appreciated the update. In addition to speaking directly with *** *** Bluegreen wishes to respond to *** *** concern through the Better Business Bureau as well.

      *** *** primary concern is that he has not received the ****** Choice Privileges Points that he was provided as an incentive for attending the sales presentation and tour. As mentioned above, *** ** and Ms. ******* purchased a vacation package with incentives provided after the requirements are met. Our records indicate that *** ** and Ms. ******* fulfilled the requirements by attending the sales presentation and tour and were awarded the ****** Choice Privileges Points. ***** reached out through our online chat on April 21, 2025, the second day after they checked out of their hotel on April 19, 2025. Our chat agent advised it usually takes at least 72 hours for the Choice Privileges Points to reflect on the account. *** ** states he sent two emails about this issue and has received no response. Our records indicate we received one email from *** ** on April 22, 2025. However, the email was not directed to the appropriate area in our system. Bluegreen apologizes that we were unable to efficiently address ****** concern. Bluegreen appreciates *** ** and Ms. ******* for attending the sales presentation and tour and is pleased to provide the incentives promised.Therefore, we can assure *** ** there is no intention of withholding the incentive. In our research, it was determined that we had the incorrect Choice Privileges member number and the Choice Privileges Points were credited to the wrong account. A request was made on May 1, 2025, through Choice, to have the Points credited to *** *** correct Choice Privileges account.

      ********************** appreciates *** ** for bringing his concerns to our attention through the Better Business Bureau where we could provide an expedient and satisfactory resolution. At this writing, our Customer Experience Specialist requested that the Points be credited to the correct Choice Privileges account. Should *** ** have further questions, we invite him to contact our Customer Experience Specialist at the direct contact information provided.

      RE: Consumer File No. 23270471

      ******************************* message is in response to the Better Business Bureaus electronic mail correspondence received by Bluegreen Vacations on May 1, 2025, regarding the consumer correspondence of Mr. ********* **, and Mr. *** rebuttal correspondence received on May 9, 2025. Thank you for reaching out to us on his behalf to apprise us of his continuing inquiry.

      Upon receiving the Better Business Bureaus correspondence advising of Mr. *** rebuttal, Bluegreens Club and Owner Resolution Specialist reached out to our Customer Experience team to advise of Mr. *** concerns. Our Customer Experience Specialist researched Mr. *** account further and advised ***** by email on May 13, 2025, the Choice Privileges Points were deposited into his Choice Privileges account and thanked Mr. ** for his patience. In addition to communicating with Mr. ** via email, Bluegreen wishes to respond to Mr. ** through the Better Business Bureau as well.

      Mr. ** does not identify any new issues in his rebuttal to which Bluegreen has not already responded. Bluegreen reiterates the positions described in our earlier correspondence to the Better Business Bureau dated May 9, 2025, on all subjects therein. Again, Bluegreen appreciates Mr. ** for bringing his rebuttal to our attention through the Better Business Bureau where we could provide additional information and resolve the issue for Mr. *** Should Mr. ** have further questions, he has the direct contact information for our Specialist.

      Sincerely,

      ****** *******
