Master your Bluegreen ownership to fully enjoy the HGV Max benefits offered by Hilton Grand Vacations.
Bluegreen Vacation Ownership Explained
1. It’s a Vacation Ownership – Not a Traditional Timeshare
Bluegreen isn’t the old-school “same week, same unit” timeshare your grandparents had. It utilizes a flexible vacation ownership model through the Bluegreen points system, allowing you to travel how, when, and where you want—across dozens of resorts nationwide. Instead of owning a specific unit, you own a set amount of points that can be used at any Bluegreen resort, providing you with the freedom and versatility similar to HGV Max benefits.
2. You Own Points – And Points Are Your Vacation Currency
When you invest in Bluegreen, you’re engaging in a flexible vacation ownership model by purchasing annual points—typically in increments like 6,000, 10,000, or more. These Bluegreen points refill each year and are used to 'pay' for your vacations. For instance, a 1-bedroom for 3 nights might cost around 4,000 points, while a 7-night stay in a 2-bedroom during peak season could require 15,000+ points. Your ownership level determines how many points you receive each year, providing you with access to the HGV Max benefits.
3. You Get Access to Over 60+ Resorts (and More with HGV Max)
Your Bluegreen points system can be utilized at Bluegreen resorts across the U.S., including locations such as the Smoky Mountains, TN; Orlando, FL; and Las Vegas, NV, among many others. With HGV Max benefits, you also gain access to Hilton Grand Vacation resorts, Hilton Honors hotel stays, and enjoy flexible vacation ownership with expanded global access.
4. You Pay Annual Maintenance Fees
Each year, you’ll pay: A per-point fee (currently around $0.1052 per point), a base fee (around $373), and an HGV Max fee if you’re upgraded (currently $313). These fees contribute to property upkeep, staffing, and amenities—much like HOA fees in real estate. This structure is part of the Bluegreen points system, which facilitates flexible vacation ownership. ✅ Pro Tip: Even with these fees, vacations booked using your points often cost significantly less than paying for hotels or rentals out of pocket. We will dive deeper into the HGV Max benefits and the overall value of owning your timeshare.
5. You Can Bank, Borrow, or Rent Points
The Bluegreen points system offers you considerable flexibility: You can bank your points into next year if you don’t use them, allowing for a smoother planning experience. If you're eager for a bigger trip now, you have the option to borrow from next year's allocation. Should you need extra points, you can also rent additional ones. Plus, with flexible vacation ownership, you can share points with family to enhance everyone’s travel experience.
6. It’s a Long-Term Ownership with Real Benefits
Most Bluegreen ownerships are deeded, which means you legally own a share of the program—allowing you to pass it down. With the Bluegreen points system, you can enjoy numerous benefits that enhance your travel experience, including:
- Access to exclusive booking windows
- Priority upgrades and unit choices
- Discounted cruises, rental cars, and events
- The ability to travel more affordably for decades through flexible vacation ownership and the valuable HGV Max benefits.
