First, are you a Bluegreen Member?

If you are a member of Bluegreen why would you pay a RCI exchange fee to exchange back into a Bluegreen resort?

As a Bluegreen Points member if you book directly with Bluegreen you would have First choice at 100% of the Bluegreen owner inventory than what limited Bluegreen inventory that gets deposited with RCI. Remember RCI only gets what inventory that Bluegreen owners deposit with RCI.

RCI of course only gets none of the Bluegreen inventory that the Bluegreen owners use for their own vacations, their own rentals and inventory given to the other exchange companies.

I know that at CMV about 40% of the weeks are red and I have had very little problem making reservations if I do proper planing.

In regards to both the RCI weeks and RCI Points programs, IMHO you have to learn to use their programs and not let those programs use you.

If you are a Bluegreen points owner, and have enough points to get into Big Cedar, I don't see why you should have a problem. I have only had a problem getting into a resort once, and that was an associate resort with limited BG access. Otherwise, I call up 13 month out or most of the time even less, and I get a room. You say that you are premier, so you should certainly be able to get a reservation. Are you calling the preferred Bluegreen number to place your reservation request?

Something doesn't sound right here.
