I just wanted to throw two cents out…
I just wanted to throw two cents out for people considering this. To be perfectly clear, this is not a review of BlueGreen's services because we DID NOT BUY. It is only a review of my experience in the sales pitch. Most people here are talking only about that experience because they had the good judgement to not purchase. We just did their 2 hour pitch in return for buckets of gift cards, so we basically paid nothing for our stay in NH. It wasn't exactly an incredible stay, but much better than a motel or something. For the price, really great. It's a place I wanted to see anyway, so we would've paid more for less otherwise. People seem to have a lot of negative experiences with the sales people at these BlueGreen pitches. While it is clear to me that this is a scam akin to a Ponzi scheme (how could any of this be profitable for Bluegreen unless they prey on the weak, there is no such thing as free lunch) we had a really great time talking to the salespeople. They were very kind locals of Lincoln, NH and my fiance and I enjoyed talking to them, and got a lot of great hike recommendations. NEVER FELT pressured to buy at all. They certainly made it sound too good to be true, and obviously it isn't true, but when we said we really needed to think about it, they were respectful and sent us home with giftcards in-hand. So glad we did not make a decision on the spot. But any issue I might have, I have with BlueGreen, and not the fine salespeople of Lincoln NH. I can't imagine there's too much opportunity in the area, and a job is a job. If you have an opportunity to go, I would recommend you listen to what they have to say. Do not buy anything, just enjoy your mostly-free 1 or 2 star hotel. If your expectations for stays are chronically high, maybe don't. If you can't say no to a salesperson, it might also not be for you. J
