Looking to trade Bluegreen points for DVC

[LifeIsForLiving]

Thank you Dean, I haven't looked into Redweeks, TS forums, or bidshares. I am a member at DISboards, but am not sure where I would be allowed to post any forum to be used as a feeler. I've been on contact with the moderators to ask where I would make such a post but didn't get anywhere (having read all the rules, I didn't think it looked like DISboards may lead anywhere). I've planned on Craigslist being the next step, but I'll look into the other TS boards you mentioned first.

I know this is not something you want to entertain, but my 1BR summer Myrtle Beach week sees just about any available DVC weeks (1-2BRs) in RCI Week system. If I were you, I would reserve a 1BR unit at one of the high-demand resorts in peak season, then go with RCI. This probably is the most economic way to go to DVC resorts.

If someone can confirm what a particular resort I have available will pull, I would certainly consider that. I'm just leery of banking a week without some degree of assurance I'll get what I'm looking for.

I know a 2 BR LAI or Big Cedar summer week has done so in the past but that's a lot of points. But you're likely looking at that many points or more if you find a private exchange as well.

Okay, thank you. I'll check the points charts for those and other high demand resorts. I'd still like to find an interested party for an exchange, but it's helpful to have as much information as possible as I may have to utilize plan B (C, D, etc. ).

Be careful assuming that other resorts will get you in, even for good weeks. For example, Boyne Mountain is unlikely to do so for most or possibly even all weeks from what I've seen. Even a 1 BR top week at the resorts I mentioned might not get you in to a 2 BR and to some of the DVC resorts at all.

Yeah, unfortunately, it seems there is nothing easy about this process.

Ultimately you'll just have to make a decision and give it a try. There will be no guarantees. Such is the nature of timeshare exchanging.

You could just call DVC and buy some points. That's pretty easy. It's not cheap, but it's easy. :hysterical:
