I am a very happy Bg owner, if you wish to complain to the "top" people go to the Bluegreen website (not bluegreenonline that is the vacation club) google it u will get the web address you will find on there a list of directors etc. I would never use Travellers plus to book hotels you are much better to use one of the many hundred web based discount hotel sites ie hotels.com the Travellers plus discount is on the FULL rack rate of the room so even with you discount its still more expensive. Please remember that you bought into a TS not a discount hotel group Travellers plus is just an add on Deeded week Most of the people who complain about this on here do not understand the concept of the BG points System, the most important fact you need to remember is that it is the number of points you have not where they are deeded. The resort you are deeded at is directly related to the number of points you bought and how they fit into the available BG inventory. Lets take The Fountains as an example (since this is where your deed is) To stay at The fountains you need for 1 week (7 nights) the following number of points of peak 13000 peak 16000 How many points did you buy? lets say 8000 so your 8000 points fits neatly into The Fountains inventory ie you will have a deed that says building number unit number and then x or Y on the end (one is Fri,Sat,Sun the other is Mon,Tue,Weds,Thurs) both these packages will use 8000 points Now I have explained that I hope you are clearer on how and why your deed is at The Fountains Having said all this what is important is the number of points this determines you "buying" power ie how many nights, when,and size of units etc If you go online to www.bluegreenonline.com and register when you enter all you account details are infront of you and also all the resorts and all the points tables) I keep stressing that it is the number of points and not where they are deeded, this is because you can use your points at all of the resorts. You can book any number of nights at any resort (with the exception of those not fully owned by BG which require full weeks) 11 months out (2 night minimum apart from Charleston which is 1 night) You also have the option to book a low value week and then bank it with RCI which will then give you 2 years to use it (I have known people to use 3000 points this way then transfer back in BG resorts via RCI and infact this person did a RCI exchange to The Fountains) If you do not use all your points you can hold them over as saved points for 1 yr but you can only use them on red weeks and below, you can also pull forward your points from the next year. Hope this explains how things work but please join the Bluegreen Group on Yahoo, there are many people within this group who can explain far better than I can Most of the complaints on here are due to the fact people do not fully understand how to get the most out of the points Regards Phillip
