I purchased in August 2006 for the main reason of using in Vegas for the NFR which is the first week of December each year. I bought in 2006 and was told it would be available for 2007. 2008 will be the first year it will be available. Because of the lies and broken promises, I am in the process of trying to Rescind the Contract so I am not looking to book any time with these unscrupulous people.

I was told with my "Bonus Nights" I could call three days in advance and stay at any Resort with no blackout dates. This would include July 4th, Halloween, Christmas and New Years. I am self-employed, and a single father, so I can not make vacation plans for weeks at a time. We take several long weekends per year. The past two years I was not able to book anything through BlueGreen. I even called 4 months in advance for New Years with nothing available
.
I did get an invitation to visit Branson in December 2007 so I could set down to ask any questions I might have. At this meeting they tried to pressure me into buying more points. The lady said that I got screwed on the original purchase. Said I should have been offered 0% for two years then no more than 8% thereafter.

I am paying 15.99%. Was also told that nobody should purchase less than 20,000 points or they do not get the "benefits". During the meeting, just in conversation I mentioned that if I had known it was going to take so long, I would have brought more Kahlua with me for my coffee.

The lady asked if I was indeed drinking? She then stated that she could not have me sign a Contract under any circumstances because of the alcohol. Sure is funny, they all knew I was drinking Kahlua in Florida when I made the original purchase but they failed to advise.

I have contacted BlueGreen Vacations via Certified Mail on two occasions since this meeting in December. I have received a return call from Ms. Jean Kenny each time. The most recent was 5-21-08 where she informed me that it has been too long, so nothing was warranted. I am in the process of getting Representation, so if anyone can help me I would really appreciate any information. I live in Oklahoma, so the Laws are different but I am not one to give up.

Buyers Beware!!!!!!!!!

PS. To the others that talk so "great" about BlueGreen. Sure wish I had as much time to go on vacation as you. See if you can brag just a little more next time on how many you are taking!!!! Perhaps some day I can??????
Until then, I am just a normal, working, single parent, trying to get by. Then to top it off, we have to deal with this type CRAP.

To: BOB IN OAKLAHOMA FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH AG

AUTHOR: Robin Ann - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, November 09, 2008

File a formal complaint with the Attorney General in OK. If enough people do this, they will most likely file a lawsuit on Bluesh*t. Also, try to file a complaint with the BBB, just don't expect too much from them as Bluesh*t pays them hefty fees in exchange for their endorsement (AAA rating)

Best of luck, ALWAYS,
Robin

If Bluesh*t's such a wise investment then why can't Diamond Resorts secure the financing to buy them out??

AUTHOR: Robin Ann - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, November 09, 2008

Answer that one for us?? We are waiting.
You are the idiot who just keeps on coming back for more abuse. You WILL NEVER learn. In case you didn't notice~ noone can stand you. You are an moron who tries to belittle the people who, in a weak moment, got sucked in by these scumbags. And Rt was right, if you were so happy you wouldn't have time to be on here- you'd be too busy planning your next vacation. YOU FOOL!!
BTW: I did go to Yahoo! and read the postings, you don't have to be a member to read anything-MORON. That is where I learned that you wonderfully, happy owners are paying the worthless CEO 1.6 MILLION $$$ per year- Talk about idiots,huh???

Now- here it is one last time just for you phillieboy:
There is no defending this company. But, we all know that won't stop you from trying your best. I'll give you an A for effort but, unfortunately I'll also have to give you an F (as in FAILED!!) for your final grade. You haven't convinced anybody but yourself that Bluesh*t isn't a scam just as the hundreds of consumer postings explain.

Can't wait to hear from you again, cause We all know I will. 'Ya just can't help yourself~CAN 'YA?????

What are the half-truths you speak of? If you tell me I can clarify them into whole-truths, just for you.

Bite

AUTHOR: Smithiekid1623 - (United Kingdom)

POSTED: Wednesday, November 05, 2008

I cant help it that you bite everytime Robin

When did you last check the stock market.

BG has been at around $6 for at least 12 to 18 months and went up to $12 on july 21st(when DRI said they would pay $15 per share) then back down to $3.06 when the markets took a real dive then back up to just over $5 today (almost back to to what they were before all the crashes, not a lot of compaines have been able to regain lost ground.
This indicates that the markets consider it a good buy but what do they know they have not been in touch with Expert Robin

So come on if your going to quote facts and fig. at least get them right.


By the way folks Robin is not a member of the Yahoo group.

Yet another porkie pie.

no doubt you will be cutting and pasteing again real soon

Have a nice day

Go to Yahoo! And you will find MANY unhappy owners too.

AUTHOR: Robin Ann - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, November 04, 2008

I decided to go on Yahoo! myself only to discover that there are alot of people on there who are also VERY UNHAPPY with their purchases from Bluegreen.

I also found out that the current CEO is being paid 1.6 million $$$ of YOUR (bluegreen owners') money every year only to run this already failing company into the ground.

Also, Diamond Resorts is currently trying to purchase Bluegreen in a buy-out and they can't secure the necessary financing to do so.

Bluegreen's stocks are dropping and are down from just over $24. to just $7.50 a share.

Not a very wise investment from where I sit??

Not to mention all of the lawsuits being filed against them- not from money hungry class-action lawyers but, from Attorney General's offices where you will see most if not ALL of your money in the end.

So, my advice to all of you unhappy owners is to go to your local Attorney General's website and fill out a complaint form on Bluegreen. They will also have a toll-free phone number for you to call to have a form sent to your residence.

If you would like to hear even more horror stories then YES, go to the discuccion boards on Yahoo! and read on, it's entertaining to say the least!

also hard working

AUTHOR: Smithiekid1623 - (United Kingdom)

POSTED: Monday, June 09, 2008

Bob,
Yes I am one of the lucky ones who can take more holidays than you but that does not make me less hard working than you, if you think you are hard done by then come over here pay double for your petrol (gas) be taxed on your earnings then taxed on you gas then taxed on you tax we dont have all those wonderful tax breakes you have in the US, I have raised my kids on one wage the average house loan over here is almost $440,000.
Right having said that Vegas should have been ready by end 2007 it wasnt due to work stopping because of a hostale take over attempt building restarted after it was sorted .
No availability on the thursday before Mermorial day this year I could have had 5 days (I wanted 7 so did not take it but kept my Sunshine reservation) for a unit at The Fountains ie 2 days before one of your major holidays.
Have you tried to get another lower interest loan to pay off the one at 15.9%
Ther are lots of ways to deal with this so instead of blaming someone else when you got yourselve into this mess do something about it join the Bluegreen group on Yahoo ask what you can do and yes you will be told you should not have borrowed money to buy timeshare but like many before and many after you you have and thats the end of that.
Stop feeling sorry for yourself and get off your backside and get some use out of those points.

Regards
Phillip
