How to rent out your Bluegreen Vacations points
Two paths to rental income from your Bluegreen bluegreen points: self-rent for maximum upside, or use a buyer service for zero-work cash. We cover both.
Option 1
Self-rent on Airbnb or Vrbo (highest upside)
The classic move: book a peak-season week at a desirable Bluegreen resort using your annual bluegreen points, then list the reservation on Airbnb or Vrbo at market rate. Typical Bluegreen owners with 32,000 points net $256–$512 per year via self-rental.
The work involved:
- Book the peak week the moment your booking window opens (13 months out for most Bluegreen contracts) — peak weeks sell out within hours
- Take quality photos of the unit (or use property-listing photos with permission)
- Write the Airbnb/Vrbo listing, set pricing, respond to inquiries
- Manage check-in instructions and the reservation itself
- Handle the no-show or cancellation risk if anything goes sideways
Plan on 10–20 hours of work over the rental cycle. The upside: you keep more of the per-point spread.
Option 2
Sell points to a buyer service (zero work)
Services like Timeshare Rental Pros pay you cash upfront for your annual bluegreen points — typically within 48 hours of accepting the offer. They handle the Airbnb/Vrbo booking, listing, and all rental management. You take a slightly lower per-point payout in exchange for zero work and guaranteed payment.
Bluegreen Points trade at $0.008–$0.016 on the secondary rental market. A standard 12,000-point allocation rents for approximately $960–$1,920 per year. The Southeast resort concentration means Pigeon Forge and Orlando weeks rent strongly year-round, while smaller properties in lower-demand markets get less rental traction. Buyer services like Timeshare Rental Pros pay $0.006–$0.012 per point upfront for unused annual points.
