Would you sit through a two-hour sales pitch if it meant getting a nearly free vacation? For Choice Privileges members, that’s exactly what’s on the table. Thanks to ongoing promotions with Bluegreen Vacations, you can score a three-night stay at popular destinations for as little as $199 — and walk away with up to 70,000 Choice points or a $200 MasterCard rewards card.
These timeshare offers don’t require you to buy anything — just your attention for a short presentation. And with packages available in vacation hotspots like Las Vegas, Orlando, and the Smoky Mountains, the value can easily outweigh the hassle. Here’s how the deals work, what you can earn, and why now might be the time to lock in a getaway.

What Is Bluegreen Vacations?
Bluegreen Vacations is currently the timeshare platform (a.k.a. vacation ownership provider) for Choice Hotels. This might not be the case for long, as Hilton completed the acquisition of Bluegreen Vacations in January 2024. However, even with the purchase completed, Bluegreen Vacations still offers Choice Privileges points for attending timeshare presentations..
Bluegreen Vacations manages 50 timeshare resorts across the U.S. and the Caribbean. However, many — if not all — of these hotels are slated to become Hilton Grand Vacation properties over the next few years. Once that happens, the ability to earn and use Choice Privileges points at Bluegreen Vacations properties is unlikely.
Choice Privileges members have several ongoing opportunities to earn bonus points or a MasterCard rewards card by attending a timeshare presentation. In general, the more you pay for a stay, the more rewards you’ll earn.
These promotions don’t have listed end dates, so choose the one that works best for you. And if you come across a better offer, let us know in the comments.
Book a 3-night stay for $279 and earn 70k Choice points
The best Choice Bluegreen Vacations promotion currently available offers 70,000 Choice Privileges points when you book a three-night stay for $279 and attend a timeshare presentation. That’s enough points to book up to eight reward nights at select Choice properties worldwide.
You can book this offer at one of the following seven destinations:
- Las Vegas, Nevada
- Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
- New Orleans, Louisiana
- Orlando, Florida
- Ozark Mountains, Missouri
- Smoky Mountains, Tennessee
- Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin
On average, AwardWallet users redeem Choice points for 0.6¢ each, so 70k points are worth about $420. That's more than the cost of the three-night stay itself.
Book a 3-night stay for $199 and earn a $200 MasterCard or 40k Choice points
Another promotion offers a $200 MasterCard or 40,000 Choice Privileges points when you book a three-night stay for $199 at one of six participating resorts and plan to attend a two-hour timeshare presentation.
You must travel within 12 months of purchasing the package, and there are steep fees for cancellations or no-shows. After completing the presentation, you’ll receive a $200 MasterCard Rewards Card, or you can opt for 40,000 Choice Privileges points instead.
This offer is valid at the following six destinations:
- Las Vegas, Nevada
- Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
- New Orleans, Louisiana
- Orlando, Florida
- Smoky Mountains, Tennessee
- Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin
Based on AwardWallet user redemptions, 40k Choice points are worth about $240, making them more valuable than the gift card option. However, the gift card might be a more appealing way to offset the cost of getting to the property.

Final Thoughts
If you don’t mind sitting through a two-hour timeshare presentation, these Bluegreen Vacations promotions can be a great way to get a cheap vacation. With offers like a $200 gift card or up to 70,000 Choice Privileges points — more than enough for multiple free hotel nights — the math checks out.
Just be sure to read the fine print, confirm your eligibility, and have realistic expectations going into the timeshare presentation. Whether you say yes or no at the presentation is up to you. Just remember that you have no obligation to purchase a timeshare at the end of the presentation.
