Donating an award stay to charity?
All the discussion of deductions is beside the point - that's not the goal here.
We have a grand total of three properties in Indy. I could pick one, do the leg work with the GM and try to convince them to donate something.
I was hoping to be able to donate points for someone to be able to pick one of the three properties on their schedule for a night away from home (obviously subject to availability). Not for monetary benefit, but to help out the mrs and her friends that have put a lot of effort into the event. And it's a lot easier for me to offer up 10,000 points and a suite night award (that won't get used anyway) than to start cold calling GMs for donations.
I was hoping SPG (which has granted me these points for my unfailing loyalty over the years) has someone that can facilitate this and make it easier for me to make this happen.
