Re: BlueGreen Vacations Timeshare Scam Warning!!! (by John I.):
Susie, you make some very good points. Timeshare, when bought and used properly, can be a good product. BUT, if timeshares were good for everyone, there would be no need to offer bribes to attend the presentations. Timeshare is a perpetual product - your obligation lasts forever. The product is worth almost nothing on the resale market. There are no refunds. If you cannot use your timeshare one year, you are out of luck. Maintenance fees go up - every year. And worst, accommodations are not guaranteed when using points. You must reserve popular destinations well in advance - quite often a year in advance. I am glad you get good use of your timeshare. Not everyone does.
