In essence, owners own a fixed week that turns into points for use according to the BVC reservation rules if they don't exercise their right to use that fixed week.

Bluegreen does have control of the BVC board. So, they can change the reservation rules slightly, but not radically without severely disrupting the Club.

To change this fundamental principle for how the Club operates would not work without a major disruption in operations (i.e. hundreds of thousands of customer service calls). They would never try to do it. The Club would grind to a halt.

Far more likely is that DRI will do what Wyndham did to Fairfield and WorldMark. Keep the Club separate, but start consolidating operations and systems for both Clubs to get synergy in cost. And, each Club would get access to the other through developer only benefits. This is way easier to do than start over.

That basically describes the operation of THE CLUB for DRI - at least the trust version (there is at least one other). As you can see from some of the other posts regarding DRI they run that system as their own little playground from what I've seen. With DRI holding control of the Board and basically telling the Trustee what to do they answer to no owner (who can be booted for "missing" a $74 payment). Don't assume a Trust hold much protection unless you - not the trust - hold the deeds for those underlying weeks.
