Deedback is an option --- sometimes...

The above post reports a successful "deedback" to HGVC, although Hilton does not openly advertise that they accept "deedbacks". Wyndham, Diamond and Westgate have all established "deedback" programs, openly offered and even given cutesy program names (e.g., Ovation, Legacy, etc.). Wyndham's "Ovation" costs absolutely nothing (but the account must be current with no outstanding loan balance or unpaid fees). Westgate charges $950 (maybe more now). I don't know about Diamond's fees or policy for "deedbacks". Unfortunately, other "chains" (BlueGreen comes immediately to mind) and most independent timeshares (i.e., with no corporate or "chain" affiliation of any kind) still do [b]not[/b] offer or ever consider "deedbacks" and don't plan to do so in the foreseeable future. That said, it still can't hurt to pursue the "deedback" option directly with individual resort HOA's, as long as your fees are fully paid up to date.
