You get a certificate for 2 nights in a hotel.
Its pretty gimmicky though.
You need to book at least 30 days in advance, and if I remember correctly, you have to chose 3 destination and they fill one of those.
Some other restrictions as well.

Those vouchers are not worth much. You have to give them three different locations, three different dates and you might end up with a 2 star hotel. No thank you

yeah, i donated my neighbor's car to them, they never asked for the title...you should have seen my neighbor's face when he woke up the next morning.
well that's what you get when you keep the music on all night...

I'm totally kidding by the way, but I did donate my very first car to the l'chaim society and i did not give them the title, it was a pretty old car and not worth much but they use the parts and hopefully make a buck off of selling the parts or something.
about the vouchers, i kept getting them from CUCUMBER but beware because they are Time Share offers!!! y'know you have to sit for 1.5 hours and go through a hell of a conversation. never did it for that reason. so the vouchers are not worth much, I'll give you mine if you want them.

The ones from Cucumber and Kars4Kids (same organization, Oorah) are not timeshare offers.
If you do use the vouchers for the vacation, you DO NOT need to sit in on a timeshare sales presentation.

Muscatini · « **Reply #16 on:** July 15, 2008, 08:43:46 PM »

are you sure? last I read it said timeshare offer or maybe the rep told me that when i tried booking, although i never ended up using it so I wouldn't know

stevenk · « **Reply #17 on:** July 16, 2008, 09:28:43 AM »

CharlesLight is correct it is NOT a timeshare

coralsnake · « **Reply #18 on:** July 16, 2008, 11:19:43 PM »

I actually know someone who received the exact same voucher after sitting through a timeshare thingy!

Just donated my car to Kars for kids, as anyone actually used the vacation voucher for anything useful? I know that DDFers generally prefer Park Hyatts and such, but free is free. Any TRs? Any good experiences?
