Re: Wyndham's new "Ovation" program offers exit solutions for their owners... interested? (by Jim S.):
Please do not listen to a sales rep telling you how to get out of your timeshare. They only are interested in their own pockets, and in fleecing yours. If a non-profit (or any other organization) accepts your timeshare, then THEY will have to take over the maintenance fees! They would not be non-profit for long if they did that a lot. I do not believe you can get a tax write-off, either. The value of your timeshare is very likely far less than what you paid for it.
Do as recommended and call Wyndham Ovation. Those aren't sales people, and will (probably) tell you the truth. They helped me, and several others who have posted here. It won't cost you anything to call and talk to Ovation -- but it's my opinion that if you trust one of these others it will keep on costing you. I suppose that is just the way of the timeshare world.
