    New to HGVmax through Bluegreen. What to expect now?

    Just days ago we upgraded to HGV max. They showed us how the conversion from Bluegreen to Hilton points will work and how they can be used. The problem for me is that they claim that an average point total for a week with Hilton is anything that I can currently see when signed in through the...

    In-laws purchased a second timeshare 2 years before passing... 30k mortgage. We haven't started probate yet. Are we screwed?

    Title says almost all of it. My in-laws lived in Maine and have had a BlueGreen Vacations timeshare for many years and have a deed. In 2023, they decided to purchase (without telling us) a second property/week with BlueGreen. Towards the end of 2023, my FIL got diagnosed with a very aggressive...

    What have other BlueGreen owners noticed since Hilton bought BlueGreen?

    We are gold members with BlueGreen and have owned for 31 years. We have been for the most part, very happy. We started noticing things almost right after Hilton bought. Our " free week" is no longer eligible to be traded with RCI. The free week had to be booked on a blue or white season and...

    How bad are the consequences for not paying maintenance fees?

    I am trying to get out of my current Bluegreen ownership because it no longer makes financial sense for me to keep it.

    Is it possible to book Bluegreen Associate Resorts?

    I'm curious if anyone has some insight on Bluegreen Associate Resorts. My guess is that they only allow a small number of units for bluegreen owners, like RCI or other timeshare collaborations and therefore it is possible to book them, but they are very very limited. As far as I remember I have...
