Bluegreen Owner trying to figure out Hilton integration
Looking for some advice - have had a bluegreen timeshare for a long while but had been disappointed by it for years as I'm on the West Coast and Bluegreen really is not, of course not what they promised us at purchase. We went for a visit to a Bluegreen resort in AZ in 2024 where they told us Bluegreen had been bought by Hilton and our points would move into the Hilton system. Of course we foolishly upgraded now that there were more expected options because *of course* we could never get that same rate trying to buy in through Hilton directly.
We recently stayed at Hilton Rivera Beach in Capistrano Beach, booked through the Bluegreen portal using Bluegreen points and were hoping this was a sign of the changes coming. Of course there was a presentation where they told us that to really be able to book into all the Hilton things it would require buying in more for 50% of the points we got before and that otherwise we'd be stuck at whatever we're able to book now.
So, is it worth it to be able to make "full use" of HGV and not be stuck in Bluegreen purgatory? Assuming that we're for the idea that we can properly and optimistically happily make use of it and ignoring what I've "learned" from other articles and Last Week Tonight and such. There's no resale or secondary market that can bridge that gap from what I can find.
