Salesmen talk or Bluegreen buying Wyndham?

[rapmarks]

The Bluegreen boards on Facebook are repeating stories that Bluegreen is buying out Wyndham. Some say it might be a hostile takeover. Some say it is the other way around. Any ideas on the feasibility of this?

I can't imagine bluegreen having enough money to purchase Wyndham vacation club, and I don't see why Travel and Leisure the division of Wyndham that includes ownership of rci and a few other exchange companies plus Wyndham vacation club would want to sell. If anything bluegreen might be looking to get out of the vacation club business and could sell the management contract to Wyndham but that doesn't mean that it wouldn't be managed as a completely separate club with additional fees and regulations thrown in to make more money for the developer/manager like $100 guest cert fees.

Bluegreen owners believe that other resort systems are not as nice as theirs. In other words, many only stay in Bluegreen resorts. Yes those guest certificates would be a rude surprise for Bluegreen owners, but there has been talk of that charge

Maybe Bluegreen has been secretly buying up every $1 Wyndham timeshare it can get.

Bluegreen had revenue in 2022 of $919.4 million in 2022 while Wyndham Travel and Leisure had revenue of $3.6 billion.

It appears more likely to me that Wyndham would absorb Bluegreen or the companies would merge, either leaving the brands "separate" in name only or just rebranding them all as Wyndham.

The fallout of all this would be the urgent need for all owners to buy more points from the developer in exchange for a $100 Visa gift card and a free breakfast.

While there is talk of a fee for a guest cert, Wyndham's at $99 with no changes allowed without another $99 fee other than changing back into the owners name and not allowing an owner to check into more than one unit is one of the more odious in the timeshare world. The owner priority with only 2 exceptions per account regardless of the number of points would also be quite a shock to larger account holders that are use to sharing with family members not on the account.

Since Wyndham is a publicly traded company, any insider discussion of M&A activity that does not come from Wyndham Investor Relations would land the insider with new benefits including 3 hots and a cot.

In this day and time nothing is impossible.

There's no mention of this among legitimate news sources or media. Consider the source... a TS sales-weasel.

I would think its Bluegreen being taken over by Wyndham because before covid, an aquistion company was about to take over Bluegreen, but got screwed over by one of my favorite brands, the Bass Pro Shop. BXG is Bluegreen and their stock prior to covid was about $25 a share and now is about a little over $9. They seem ripe for a take over, imo.
