It is my understanding that if you own in the original Oasis Lakes, buildings 3 and 4 you have a fixed/flex week. You can reserved your deeded week unit from 12-7 months out. If not reserved in that time frame it becomes a flex week and you deeded week can be reserved my someone else 6 months out.

Could be BocaMike, I have a problem with just two things -
First - as another poster indicated, as I am owning a fixed week, why is a reservation even necessary to begin with? So I can set my calendar reminder to coincide with my maintenance fee payment at the beginning of the year - to reserve the week I already own - whether I choose to use it or not. If I don't want to use it, I believe this is MY business; I own the week and paid the maintenance fees - why should BG get to use and profit from MY villa without my consent?
Next - suppose you are right - and you could be right , at least from BG's perspective - then where are the terms and conditions (T&Cs) ? They are not posted anywhere on the BG website (in my owner account back office). I called and asked them to send to me and the representative said he couldn't provide as my ownership predates BG's management. I would disagree BG can just make up T&Cs for my ownership as they want to - but I should be governed under the original ownership T&Cs when the purchase was made.
When I called the BG vacation owners services, I have received conflicting information and poor customer service. It would have been so much easier and pleasant to have gotten a correct answer first time asked, to be able to speak with a supervisor when requested, to be given the FULL name of the representative I was speaking with over the phone (oddly, they said they couldn't do that, but everyone at the Oasis Resort had a name tag there with their FULL name -

). Does that seem fair to you , BocaMike et al ?
Anyway - I am behind all this now. I was able to check in last week and use my week. Yes, I will dutifully call and reserve the week I own this week for 2016 (after I speak with an executive from BG who has promised to get back with me 4 January). I will probably sell the timeshare (for a profit - not give it away - as it has value - others not affiliated with BG but believed to be in the know privately told me BG would take back the week if I didn't want it - ah, no, I'm not just going to give it away - they don't make these fixed weeks anymore!) At least I can try to sort out the terms of my ownership for a potential buyer. The resort itself is very very nice - too bad Bluegreen's management is just plan awful. I will keep if can't sell for a fair price.
I just had an offer accepted with DVC; much more excited about this ownership and staying at Disney.
