Sell it or give it away to someone else
The demand for timeshare resale’s is very low. You most probably will have to give it away or sell it for a few dollars if lucky. Statistically, there are about 600 timeshare owners wanting to sell their timeshares for every prospective buyer in America.

CONS    This process requires time from you since you need to find someone to buy the timeshare. Once you find this person, you need to do the transfer process which in most cases, you need to pay for.
If transfer of ownership is not done properly, you will still be responsible for any further obligation with the timeshare resort

Donate your timeshare
I´m sorry to tell you this but charities aren´t accepting timeshares anymore regardless of what other timeshare donation companies claim. Let’s face it: charities don´t want timeshares for the same reason as you; Their value is almost zero!

PROS     You get out of timeshare legally… if you find a charity that will take over your timeshare!
CONS    Many consumers have called MTS seeking help with a company who offer them to get a charity to take over their timeshare and was charged an upfront fee in order to start the process and now the company claims that the charity for some reason can´t accept the timeshare anymore. Even worse, people who though that they were timeshare free and filed paperwork to the IRS for tax deduction, are being investigated since the appraisal received by the timeshare donation company was overestimated.
