Bluegreen does not have a program in place where you can sell your timeshare back to them. Since they don’t have an in-house resale program, they will refer you to a third-party company to help you sell. The only way you can sell is by handling it yourself, either on your own or by advertising through a timeshare resale company, or hiring a timeshare broker to help you with the process.

You can sell your Bluegreen Vacations points in a couple of ways. The first would be advertising your points for sale and handling the sales process yourself. This would be the less expensive method since you would only pay for the advertising fee and keep all of the sales proceeds for yourself after the sale is completed.

If you use an advertising company to sell your Bluegreen points, you should choose one that specializes in timeshare resales since they will be marketing specifically to buyers looking online for deals on points. These companies give you the ability to manage your account and negotiate the best deal for yourself. Once you have an agreement in place, you can bring in a closing company to handle the transfer process to the new owner.

The other way to sell would be to hire a timeshare brokerage firm. These companies would assign an agent to your account and handle the process for you. They can charge as much as $1,500 or 15 percent of the sale price, whichever is higher, so this can end up costing you more money in the long run.

Since Bluegreen does not have an in-house resale department, they will refer you to a third-party provider. So the decision is yours as to how to proceed and which timeshare resale company to use.

Canceling a Bluegreen timeshare needs to be done within the rescission period after purchase. This can vary between three and 10 days after the initial purchase from Bluegreen, but the exact timeframe depends on the state in which you first bought your Bluegreen points. Check your sales contract for the specific timeframe stated for the rescission period.

There are companies promoting their ability to cancel a Bluegreen timeshare. They call themselves timeshare exit or timeshare cancellation companies. These companies charge in excess of $5,000 for their services but keep in mind that the only company that can authorize the cancelling of your timeshare is Bluegreen. They do not publicly promote such a program but will listen to your case if you contact Bluegreen directly. There is no guarantee that this will work and your ownership needs to be mortgage-free with all fees up to date to even get an audience with them.

Be careful if you consider a timeshare exit company, since they have come under numerous legal challenges and state Attorney General investigations for alleged deceptive business practices.

Not at all. Bluegreen has over 200,000 members in its ownership base with over 60 resorts in its network, so they must be doing something right. Why owners sometimes feel as though Bluegreen is a ripoff is because of the high pressure sales process at the resort sales centers.

Many times, buyers come home after they purchase points while on a vacation, feeling as though they were fast-tracked through the process. Only later do they realize how much money they could have saved on the resale market.

Even so, owners can use their points in the Bluegreen network to take vacations and even exchange into more options through an exchange company to travel outside the U.S.

The big issue is where the timeshare points were purchased. If they were bought through Bluegreen, it would cost about $3 a point. Points on the resale market can go for as little as $1 a point. That’s because Bluegreen builds in sales commissions and marketing costs into their price – as much as 60 percent of the original sale price - costs that don’t exist on the resale market.

These savings can make a big difference in how you may view your ownership, but remember that the auto industry operates in much the same way. You know that you’ll pay a lot more for a new car at the dealership rather than a used car from an existing owner. That doesn’t mean the dealership is a ripoff – just that the buyer wants a new car.

The only way you can get your money back from Bluegreen is if you cancel your purchase contract in writing within the rescission period following your original purchase. The rescission period varies depending on the location in which you bought your timeshare points, since states have different laws governing the timeframe. Generally the period is 10 days from the time you purchased, but it is always best to refer to your sales contract to make sure.

Bluegreen points are worth a varying amount on the resale market depending on what a buyer is willing to pay and whether the points are connected to a specific resort.
