[Q=helenb210] My mother gave it to a charity to get rid of it.[/Q] Charities do not accept timeshares, since timeshares are a financial liability, not an asset, not a "gift" and not an acceptable "donation". No charity on Planet Earth is looking to willingly and knowingly take over someone else's financial burden and contractual responsibility as their own. Think about it for a moment --- why on earth would any legitimate charity even CONSIDER doing such a crazy thing? Somewhere in this thread I saw reference to Pinnacle Vacations. Pinnacle is the authorized entity for resale BlueGreen points. Anyone looking to get rid of BlueGreen (and also looking to not get scammed) should probably at least start by having a conversation with Pinnacle. The bad news however is that BG points probably have no resale market value anyhow. Offering to give BlueGreen points away for free on the "Bargain Deals" forum of Timeshare Users group (http://www.tug2.net), as already mentioned above, is a viable option and a way to avoid having to pay Pinnacle. Someone who already has and uses BG points might take them for free if closing and transfer costs are paid by the current owner. Unfortunately, in the current market few (if any) others will likely want a BG points ownership at ANY price, including for free.
