I bought into the Blue Green Resorts a few years ago while visiting my son in the army in Missouri. It sounded ike a wonderful deal at first. I sepnt $10,000.00 for what they call a beginners package of 9000 points every other year. I pay maitenance fees every year and have only used the program twice. I wanted to use it next month May 2013 and need 5200 points for my trip. I only have 3000 points available which will expire on 8/31/13 if not used. I called to purchase additiona points and make reservation for the trip on 4/15/13. I was told that I needed to pay the 49.00 Travelers Plus fee and 20.00 reinstatement fee before I could by additional points. I told the young lady I would call her back with payment info. My week was very busy and I didn't get arounf to calling until Friday 4/19/13. At that time I was told that I couldn't pay the fees as my Travelers Plus expired 2 years ago and could only be inactive 1 year to reinstate it. To be honest I really didn't know what that program was for just that it contained yet another annual fee so we didn't pay it. I asked for a supervisor and was told the same thing the customer service rep told me. The supervisor suggested calling a Blue Green sales office which I did. I explained my situation and was told they would get back to me after speaking with thier corporate office. A couple hours later I received a call from Ray at The Fountins (Orlando) sales office and was told the only way I could get reinstated in Traelers plus was to but another package. I asked what the smallest package he was refering to and was told that I would need to but another 9000 points at $10,000. Needless to say I asked him if he was kidding. So it looks like I will be loosing the 3000 points I still have on 8/31/13 because it is not enough to use anywhere through out thier horrible network. Absolutely the worst mistake I ever made was purchasing the vacation package from Blue Green Resorts. I would not recomment anyone buying into them as all they want to do is rob from hard working people.

    Blue Green resorts are not really known for having a good reputation regarding timeshares, unfortunately, a lot of people end up buying time shares not because they want them, but because they’re persuaded by the hard sell pitches that accompany many of the “free gift, just listen to our presentation” type offers.

    Blue Green Timeshare Scam
    It's a shame that this type of situations happens. Before signing your contract, assure you to read and understand all and each one of the points written in the contract. DO NOT sign your contract if you don’t find any of the verbal promises offered by the salesman. ASSURE you find all of them in written in your contract. That's why I’ve always been wary of timeshares, and for good reason, apparently. The upside is that the cost of staying in a hotel includes room service, cleaning, etc – things you don’t get during your stay in a timeshare. I can see how it could be considered an “investment in lifestyle,” but that seems like a wasteful and silly way to spend my money.

    How To Get OUT of “Bluegreen” or ANY “Time Sharing” Contract
    (Four Steps to be FREE of Bluegreen)

    So many hundreds of people have commented on this blog that they wish to get out and quit Bluegreen.  They also have commented that they are angry that they got scammed and wish that everyone complaining about Bluegreen can combine forces TOGETHER to quit Bluegreen and get out.  Here is the way to STICK-IT to Corrupt Bluegreen and bankrupt them in FOUR STEPS!

    1) Find at least 30 PEOPLE who feel the same disgust for “Bluegreen” as you do and who wants OUT!  This should not be that difficult.  Just look at this website (https://complaintwire.org/search/?q=Bluegreen or http://www.consumeraffairs.com/travel/bluegreen.html) and also Google other websites to find them.  Then post your email and contact information on this and other blogs.  Just cut and paste all of this instruction into your post.  Post these steps EVERYWHERE on the Internet (freeing people from the pain of Bluegreen).

    2) Find ONE person who has “BAD CREDIT” anyway.  Make sure you tell them the TRUTH on how “Bluegreen” Scam you and others (tell that person everything).  Make sure that person has nothing to lose (as a home or car or property).  Make sure he would not mind legally declaring bankrupt to legally FREE all his financial debt.  In exchange he would MAKE $30,000 free money for doing nothing.  This person can be YOUR NEPHEW or NIECE or NEIGHBOR or YOUNGER BROTHER or COUSIN or some RELATIVE or even a COWORKER or a FRIEND or a HOMELESS GUY who has a valid SSN.  As long as the person is legally 21 years old or over and don’t mind declaring bankrupt.

    3) The 30 PEOPLE you found who feels the same disgust for “Bluegreen” as you do will ALL sell their “Bluegreen Contract” over to this ONE SAME PERSON in #2 above.  Sell it to him for “One Cent”.  That means that the “One Same Person” in #2 above will spend a total of “Thirty Cents” to legally buy 30 PEOPLE “Bluegreen Contracts”, thus LEGALLY FREEING ALL 30 PEOPLE from the financial burden of “Bluegreen”.  You are now LEGALLY totally FREE and OUT of “Bluegreen”.  There are currently a number of people already selling “Bluegreen Contracts” on ebay.com (check and see).  However, nobody is buying them because there is no incentive to buy the junk contracts!

    4) Your question now is why on earth would the “One Person” in #2 above (perhaps a nephew) buy a worthless “Bluegreen Contract” and take on the financial BURDEN of 30 STRANGERS?  The answer is for two reasons:
    Reason 1:  He will never pay “Bluegreen” a dime but will legally declare bankrupt anyway which will legally release all the financial burden from him and back to “Bluegreen”.
    Reason 2:  Each of the “30 People” above will have to pay this “One Person” some kind of incentive for RESCUING and FREEING them out of “Bluegreen”.  I say each of the 30 Strangers should pay him $1,000 each (the price of Bluegreen’s yearly maintenance fee).  That adds up to $30,000 free cash for this “One Person” who has bad credit anyway.

    The Result – A Win-Win-Win Situation:
    A) You are now FREE of “Bluegreen”
    B) The person who freed you is $30,000 richer ($1,000 from each of the 30 Strangers)
    C) After that “One Person” declares bankrupt, all the Bluegreen Contracts and properties will legally go back to Bluegreen.  If 30 different strangers keeps on repeating this same cycle over-and-over again many times, hundreds of properties will be returned to Bluegreen after bankrupt.  Bluegreen will have to pay for the property taxes (maintenance fee) on ALL those properties by themselves, thus sooner or later bankrupting Bluegreen (a corrupt company gone).

    Notes:
    A) Make sure when this “One Person” (perhaps a Nephew that’s 21 years old or older) declares bankrupt, make sure that the $30,000 is not in his name.  Make sure he puts it in Mommy & Daddy’s name or anyone else so that the government won’t take it away in the bankruptcy procedures.

    B) If the “30 Strangers” legally sell their property to this “One Person” using ebay.com or some other way, make sure you don’t get SCAM again and that “One Person” don’t take off with your $1,000 without signing the contract and buying your “Bluegreen Contract”.  Look at ebay.com and make sure your contract states that this “One Person” is buying your “Bluegreen Contract Time Share” for “One Cent” (don’t get rip off).  Make sure this “One Person” pays you the “One Cent” to make the contract binding legally.  Feel free to improve, revise or work out any bugs in this system.

    Have fun STICKING IT TO BLUEGREEN (a corrupt company)! – Sincerely SRDEDC
