I purchased HGV trust points *8k bi-annual and have been since made a single parent. Now I am unable to travel enough for it to be even considered "worth it". I still have 8k bonus points with more than a year remaining until they expire.

What is the easiest way to get rid of this? I already paid off the loan and have no dues until next year. I dont care about the money already lost in it just want to move on without costing too much more. I have tried searching for how to get out, but so much information points to deeded timeshares and most comments about HVC points just say "dont do it or cancel".

How can I give away my timeshare on TUG for Free?

Before you pay an upfront fee to someone to "take your timeshare off your hands," please consider giving your timeshare away to a private individual who would like to own it. Why? -You can give it away yourself for nearly no cost. -You can control the transfer process to make sure it is truly...

That actually looks more like what I was searching for. Thank you
 
I've never done anything like this before. Do I need to use a transfer company like LT Transfers?
 
The main issue you have is what you own is worth $0. Perhaps even a negative dollar amount. HGV puts a big restriction on the usage of the resale buyer. They can not use the points within The Club and can only stay at resorts in the US Collection. They also can't enroll in DEX with the collection points. You can try giving the points away for free. You may need to offer free usage and pay the closing costs.

At this point I dont care and will offer for free just to be done with it. What are general closing cost on something like this?

Have you contacted HGV regarding using Transitions to deed it back to them?
 
The reality is that it's going to be difficult to get rid of 8K points. You didn't say what the maintenance fees were. The HVC 8,000 points usually won't get you much compared to their unreasonably high maintenance fees. That's why it's hard to even give them away. As a last resort you can refuse to pay the fees when they're due next. They may pester you with calls and threatening letters, but they can't force you to pay. Whatever you do, don't believe any company that says they can get rid of your ownership. Those people are even worse than the ones that talked you into buying in the first place.
 
The Marketplace really works well for timeshares with value. To give away a timeshare for free, try the free timeshare forum. Look through it to see how those that were successful “sold” their timeshare. Feel free to copy what was successful for others.
