Choice is out with a new timeshare promotion that might be of interest for some. In return for paying $149 and attending a timeshare presentation, you can get a three night stay and either 30,000 bonus points or a $100 Mastercard gift card.
The Deal
- Get a three night vacation at one of eight destinations plus your choice of 30,000 Choice Privileges bonus points or a $100 Mastercard gift card when paying $149 and attending a timeshare presentation.
- Direct link to offer.
Key Terms
- Vacation package includes accommodations and named presentation incentives only. Transportation, personal expenses, taxes, parking and other expenses are not included.
- Accommodations are subject to availability at a participating hotel or resort within the Choice Hotels portfolio (retail value of $175–$900/night), except in locations where accommodations at another brand hotel or resort may be offered.
- Certain restrictions may apply.
- Accommodation upgrades, stays over weekends, high season, and holidays are limited and may include additional fees.
- Guests must attend a two-hour timeshare sales presentation and tour on the benefits of ownership with Bluegreen Vacation Club.
- Vacation packages are nontransferable and cannot be combined with other promotional offers.
- One offer per household.
- Guests will receive a gift of 30,000 Choice Privileges® Bonus Points (retail value of up to $309) after the timeshare sales presentation or a gift of a $100 MasterCard® Reward Card (retail value of $100).
Quick Thoughts
This could be an enticing deal for some seeing as the eight locations you can pick for a three night stay are:
- Orlando, FL
- Las Vegas, NV
- Myrtle Beach, SC
- New Orleans, LA
- Ozark Mountains, MO
- Smoky Mountains, TN
- St Petersburg, FL
- Wisconsin Dells, WI
You do have to pay $149, but that works out at slightly less than $50 per night which itself could be very good value. On top of that you get 30,000 bonus points or a $100 Mastercard gift card. Choice points are on sale for ~0.72 cents per point at the moment, so 30,000 points would cost you $216.30. Even if you valued Choice points at half that, points would still be the better option for most people than the $100 gift card.
The big catch here is the fact that you have to sit through a timeshare presentation. That’s obviously not a fun way to spend two or more hours on a three night vacation, but if you can withstand the sales pressure, it’ll make for a cheap getaway that’s also rewarding.

Any one with first hand knowledge of how these particular timeshare presentations go?
I did a Hilton one and it wasn’t that bad.
