Q: Hello. We do have several questions that are more specific to this particular timeshare. We are extremely interested in this property, but like everyone else, we'd like to see the fine print of how this timeshare would work in an exchange. If this is available in a .pdf format, can you please email it to us to review asap? thanks.
A: There is no fine print as to how it would trade. There are many variables that affect the trading power of a unit rating of the resort and size of the unit are only two. The week that is being banked is another. How long it is banked in advance of the use week. There is just no way to give a cut and dry answer. Also booking can affect it. When a week is in the bank for 21 months RCI starts to get a little nervous because they make their money off the booking fees. So when it gets close to the 2 years that they can bank for then they start making offers for the owner of that banking to book a week. That is how in the last couple of months you can basically turn a blue week into a red.

20,000 Bluegreen Points ORLANDO Florida Timeshare
Q: As I am already a bluegreen owner, can you explain how the points would be combined? Would it be possible to keep my original anniversay date?
A: Your points will be able to be combined. From what we have been told the only difference between resale points and those bought from the developer is you cannot achieve a higher status in the premier club. This means you do not get gold benefits. To be honest I am not sure about the anniversary date. I would suggest calling Bluegreen and asking them. One friendly bit of advice when you call Bluegreen tell them that you have just won the auction on eBay and you have some questions. The reason I say this is nothing will get you to the sales department faster then saying you are looking at resales. If you say you have just won the points on eBay they are going to answer your questions minus the hassle of someone trying to sell you points from the developer. If you have any further questions please ask.

Diamond Resorts International US Collection
Q: I am a current Diamond owner and want to increase my points. I currently own in the California Collection and I am a member of The Club. If I purchase a timeshare from you and it is in a different collection- do the points get added together but I would have the privledges at both collections (extended reservations and parking at home resorts) and would my Club membership still work fine for all points? I know this one is ending, but I know you have a few other ones I am watching as well. I appreciate your time.
A: We do have several packages of Diamond Points but they are the US Collection. They are NOT deeded points, they are a membership that can only be used at the 19 resorts within the collection. Now you can add these points to what you own, BUT, you need to call your owner services rep at Diamond to find out the cost. What I understand is they require you to purchase additional points from them in order to do it. They do it case by case with each individual owner and it all depends on what you own with them. My suggestion would be to call then and tell them you have purchased additional points and want to know how to combine them. It is a little white lie, but it will get you the information you need. If you tell them you are thinking of doing it, they will spend all the time trying to just sell you points from them. Just so you are aware, US Collection points are the ONLY points that transfer from Diamond. If someone owns a deeded week, is a member of The Club and sell it, when it transfers it reverts back to a week only. Then it is up to the new owner to purchase The Club from Diamond. I hope this information helps. If you have any other questions please let me know.
