Right now, I need input. Here is what I need:
1) Questions for a Bluegreen FAQ. Please post questions that you think are important or you would like to see answered. This I can start compiling right away since this message board format is perfect for that type of information.
2) Topics for broader discussion and/or description. An example would be exchanging. Bluegreen is a fantastic ownership for exchanging. We should have a whole topic dedicated to this subject. Post your desired topic and include some ideas for what needs to be included.
Please refrain from answering questions on this thread. The purpose of this thread is to collect questions and topics for a knowledge base. If answers or off topic posts are made, I will move those off topic posts to their own separate threads.
Thanks. This should be fun.

Firstly let me say we love BG. Good selection of really unique resorts. However, we were originally enticed with the carrot that we could use the AIM program to exchange another timeshare for BG points, and then use the rental dept to make a little money on it. Basically we were sold an investment. Of course we had to sign that we understood it was NOT an investment, but to be used for personal use only, but that if we did want to take advantage of the rental dept, they had an 87% success rate. Of course this was no guarantee that any rentals we put in the system would rent at that rate. It seemed like we couldn't lose.
It seemed like it was to good to be true. And guess what. You guessed it. It was.
It seemed like the rental dept had an 87% unsuccess rate. We felt conned. Cheated. 5 years later I have found my own way to rent out points, and we are very happy with our membership, but the bad taste still lingers.
And now they have done away with the rental dept altogether. Why? Is this an admission that it was a con, a deceitful marketing tool that I am sure was the clincher for hundreds of members. Or am I alone. Did I just have a horrendous bad run of luck using the rentals dept.
I would be interested to hear others experience. But I am sure I smell a rat in getting rid of that program. Can anyone shed light on this?
