Steer clear from these swindlers in the Bass Pro shop! We were intrigued by the “free” 3 night stay as we saw St. Petersburg, FL as one of the locations. We told the guy we have friends there and he showed us pictures of the beachfront location. We paid $199 - was given a $50 Bass Pro gift card on the spot and was told we’d just have to sit through a 2 hour presentation and receive a $150 MC gift card at the end. I tried to book our trip but St. Petersburg was not one of the locations in the dropdown. I called customer service and they explained that location is more expensive than what we paid. They added a $50 credit to my account so I could book in St. Petersburg since I told her the guy at Bass Pro knew we wanted to go there but didn’t tell us it was more expensive. We received confirmation of our booking only to see we were being put up in a Comfort Inn hotel! I called again and told them we were under the impression that our accommodations would be on the beach. They said we paid for one of their hotel locations and not a resort. So they ended up changing us to a Staybridge Suites in downtown St. Petersburg. It was ok. There was free breakfast every morning and had to drive to the beach. Presentation day was a joke. We were greeted by our own personal sales rep who was overly nice. He brought us to the room to listen to the 2 hour presentation. Then we sat down with our personal sales rep again for another 1.5 hours. We should have said no right away but we gave them the benefit of the doubt and listened to everything they said. It was very intriguing- we were given a tour of the resort room. Another guy, the closer, finally gave us the numbers for different scenarios of the number of points we’d be buying. We let them know we did not want a hard pull on our credit report. After several attempts of giving us their “best” offer - and making sure we knew we could never be offered this “amazing offer” again, we again said we cannot do this. The closer, who was pleasant at first, got up and walked away without much of a goodbye. We told our sales rep that if we called Bluegreen tomorrow, with cash, they wouldn’t say no. He was shocked we’d say that and didn’t believe it. All I can say is: DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME!

Keeping it very simple. Don't do it!!! They give you a 3 day 2 night stay at a 1or 2 star hotel depending on where you are. You put a deposit of $199. to guarantee you show up. You may have to pay for airfare to get there depending on where you're coming from. They don't tell you about the daily resort fees and the taxes on the hotel you have Pay in addition. You have to sit in a 2-hour + presentation. The agents are all super nice offering you everything but the shirt off their back. But then when you refuse or decline purchasing, then it's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. They're no longer pleasant, they're just hurry to get you your gift and get you out. The gift was either a $200 coupon book to use or $150 MasterCard gift card. Then they tell you you can never do it again or come to see them again. Even if later your finances change or you change your mind. So 1. you end up spending more money traveling (airfare)to get there. If you're paying for airfare, 2. Then the additional fees for the room. 3. The company just got bought out by Hilton because they were getting sued review it and find the history of the class action lawsuits against blue green. The property we saw was a Sheraton that was being converted into a blue green resort. So, really if you want to save money on travel, book it in advance to get the better rates. It's cheaper than spending the minimum of $15,000 for the property and with the 19% annual percentage rate you'll end up paying an additional r $15,000 to have a property that depending on the points you have will depend on how many vacations you can take. So if you're going to pay anything from $200 to $300 a month for something you may be able to use two, maybe three times a year. It's not worth it. They need to teach their agents that everybody's not going to be interested and they should continue to maintain the same professional demeanor through the whole process. And when asked about how many people purchase with three groups of seven, maybe one purchase a day. So do yourself a favor. Don't waste your time or your money

100% Scam had a friend try to sell their shares and it was fraud all the way.

If I could give a 0, I would. A 1 is too high of a rating. We went to NOLA for the vacation stay presentation and was shocked with all of the fees they did not tell me and my husband. We were so disappointed that we didn't stay for the presentation. We basically ruined our annnversary weekend. When I called customer service about the fees he explained that it was in the confirmation. When I went back to view the confirmation it only stipulated that we MAY have to pay 49 but it was about 300. We do not do business with liars and crooks.

They changed the rules for existing owners….again. Be careful doing business with Bluegreen, they don’t have integrity.

Don't waste your time! My husband signed up for the vacation at Bass Pro and we went this past weekend to Myrtle Beach. We had to attend the "2 hour" presentation where we were told there would be no pressure to purchase and if we decide its not for us, no hard feelings and we can take our gift cards and go enjoy the rest of our vacation. After the sales pitch, you are put with a representative who tries to sell you on a package of points, this young man was nice enough. We had told him we were not really in a good position to purchase right now but still gave him the respect of listening, he had another guy who I suppose was the closer of the deal and he started out nice but as soon as we said no thanks, his attitude changed quickly! When I told them that we don't make decisions on the spot and prefer to pray about them, the 2nd guy decided to basically mock me and got up and left the table rather rudely. If I ever did decide to buy a timeshare, I would not buy from Bluegreen! We were lied to from the beginning, had to pay extra unexpected fees and were put in a less than desirable hotel and then treated rudely.

It’s been over 10 years since I said no to this scam after doing a trial. And for 10 years, despite telling them to stop calling me, they continue to harass me and furthermore sell my number to other companies to harass me. They are THE WORST

Very Disappointed with the exit strategy. My parents have paid for the entire mortgage and always paid the increasing high annual maintenance fees. Now that my father is deceased and mother in the nursing home, I called to give back their contract. I did not want anything, just wanted to get out of the contract. They not only required that this years maint fees to paid, but also charged me 18 months in additional maint fees to get released from this contract. You know that they will just re-sell that same contract over again. DO NOT GET SCAMMED BY THE SALES REPRESENTATIVES. My parents were lead to believe that they could end their contract easily. Well I guess if you write a big enough $check$ you can!
