So I have only had my points about 2 weeks now but I there’s hasn’t been a single day open in any room type at wilderness club big cedar for all of 2020 or Jan of 2021.
Is it always full at midnight 11 months out for every day of the year???

Guessing your dates, as shown, might be part of the problem? {{ wink }}

Forgive me, I have no constructive input to add. I do not own BG, have any access to verify inventory, or even know someone who does. Sorry and Good Luck on your search and new points!

Wilderness Club is very popular and the #1 timeshare property in Bluegreen. Also is the main sales location for all those Bass pro shop kiosks free three day time share giveaway marketing trips. So with all the CV-19 cancellations chasing all to few days/weeks there it will be quite a while till things open up if ever there.

Great points. Thanks.

I have been a Bluegreen owner around 10 years and Wilderness Club is indeed hard to get in. But not impossible. The key is to just be vigilant and keep checking.

In order to use your PUPs you have to call or use chat 13 months to 11 months 2 days out from the start date and let BG know you want to use your PUP.
Preferably do it before 11months 2 weeks as BG owners can make 14 day reservations and might get the beginning days of your PUP

You can claim your PUP even if it us less than a 7 day period.

It you don't claim it the time is released to all BG owners 11 months out at midnight.
