Booking your vacation through the Bluegreen Vacation Club is simple.

  • You can reserve the use of your deeded accommodations (Priority Use Period) between 11 months and 1 day and 13 months prior to the check-in date.
    • Doing so uses up the points associated with the use period for that contract.
  • You can make a Points reservation in ANY season up to 11 months in advance of your desired check-in date.
  • The booking window opens at midnight Eastern Time (online).
  • A minimum 2-night stay is required.
  • Saved Points may be used for reservations in Red, White or Blue seasons.

The resorts in the table below all require a full week's stay. They are sorted by the day you can check in.

Tips and Tricks

  • Book as close to 11 months out as possible.  This will ensure the highest availabilty of units. The longer you wait, the less availability there will be.
    • If your desired timeframe isn't avaialble, check back often.  Cancellations happen.
  • For owners who have fewer points, booking Sunday through Thursday night stays will make your points go farther.  If you have charter benefits try booking the weekend nights on either side of your stay with Bonus Time
  • If you are a premier member you can try to wait list the stay that you want, though after the changes a year or so ago, the wait list requests no longer get filled prior to the booking window.
  • Avoid peak season travel (if possible).  This reduces the demand for the available units, and can make your points go farther.
  • If your desired timeframe is not available through the Bluegreen Reservations site, check with RCI or Prizzma (Direct Exchange for Traveler Plus Members) to see if the resort (or one nearby) is available through them. Yes, there is a fee for the reservation, but it could get you into the location/time you wanted.
  • Gold or Platinum Premier Owners get free week(s) from Bluegreen each year.  You can call the premier owner customer service number and instead of staying in the Bluegreen unit during the offseason, have the customer service rep book the unit with the best trading power and deposit it into RCI.  This will give you trading power that you can book through the RCI Weeks website and make reservations through it.  RCI will also let you combine, or extend deposits (for a fee) so that you can get higher demand units/locations.
