Re: Getting rid of your timeshare (by Tracey S.):

I probably wouldn't use Donate for a Cause because they are very expensive and in most cases you can find a legitimate new owner by prepaying MF's and paying closing costs for less than the DFC costs. There are more negative reports about buying a timeshare from Marriott or Wyndham than there are from those who used DFC to get rid of a timeshare. I read the AARP "warning" and it was about the tax break claims and the fact that you aren't helping any charitable organization by "donating" .

This is the quote: "So DFC may be able to help you escape your time-share (at a cost of a few thousand dollars), but don't count on safely claiming a big tax write-off. And note that the average donation generates only about $400 to downstream charities, according to DFC. If philanthropy is your priority, just write a check directly to a charity of your choice."
