Quick Thoughts
This looks like a pretty good deal if you’re good at saying no. If you’ve not been to a timeshare presentation before, you’ll want to read this post to get a general idea of what to expect: Wyndham Timeshare Presentations Survival Guide: Get Your “No” Face On. Expect high-pressure sales tactics, though if you’re comfortable with dealing with two hours of that, this is a solid deal. I typically have no trouble getting 1c per point out of Choice Privileges points, so this is almost mattress run worthy purely for the points; if you also value the stay, it’s an excellent deal. I’ve never been to a Bluegreen Vacations property, but I’ve heard that they are great family-friendly options in many places.
The odd gotcha is the specificity of the terms requiring income and FICO score minimums. While I’ve often seen timeshare offers reference needing to meet certain income requirements, I’ve not seen the specific note on FICO scores with other offers. If this offer requires a hard credit pull, I would be much less enthusiastic about it. I’m not sure how they determine qualification there, but it may be worth asking some questions when you call to book.

You guys should be ashamed of pushing timeshare sales pitches.
Which resorts are available for the offer? Any idea if the Pono Kai Resort in Kauai is included in this offer?
Have enjoyed similar offers twice.. Bluegreen has some nice properties, including
those yurts in Shenandoah Crossing.
Giving this the hardest of passes.
