Cancelled Timeshare with Great Vacation Destinations

[Trisha]

We just cancelled our timeshare offer with Great Vacation Destinations, out of Lauderhill, Florida.
It was seven days at resorts in Orlando and "South Florida," plus a two-day cruise to Nassau. However, the packet that came in the mail left out which hotels, any websites, basically any way to confirm what was going on prior to drive 28 hours to Florida... so we gave up.

The reservation number was helpful, eventually. We just couldn't see spending $598 up front, plus $149 per person registration processing fee, to sit in resorts or on a cruise ship with the whole Atlantic Ocean so close!

The only other thing I could find was some small print on the envelope mentioning Bluegreen Corporation. Their website lists them as a vacation ownership resort out of Boca Raton, Florida, but does not mention Great Vacation Destinations.

So, does anyone recognize this?

I have never heard of them, but we did a timeshare in Florida once. Wise move on you to cancel seeing as how you didn't get hotel names and such. That would be a bummer if you got there and didn't have a place to stay. We stayed in Kissimmee (sp?) with some RCI resort. We didn't buy into it, but it was nice.

These guys (Bluegreen) are not too far from me up in the T-Rex Corporate Plaza. Interesting web site too. Those were some pretty stiff fees they wanted from you - wise not to fork it over.
I've never heard of them, but Boca Raton has a whole raft of similar mysteriously vague corporations. We even have Rudy Giuliani down here doing whatever it is that he does before he runs for President.

You don't even know if these folks exist.

Best to steer clear of most all timeshare promotions.
