I got an amusing call from Wyndham.


Me: “Hello?”

Her: “Hello, I’m calling from Wyndham Resorts in Orlando. We’re calling with an exciting offer for you. You have the opportunity to stay at one of our resorts for four nights at no charge to you—no points and no money—and you can choose from ANY of our resorts.”

Me: “In exchange for …………….?”

Her: “120 minutes of your time, that’s it!”

Me: “Oh, I see.”

Her: “We’d just like to have an opportunity to introduce you to all the new benefits that are available to you as an owner. Are you aware that we’ve become Wyndham Destinations?”

Me: “Yes”

Her: “Since we’ve become Wyndham Destinations there are many new and exciting benefits. Do you have the new Wyndham Visa Card?”

Me: “No, and I don’t want it.”

Her: “Why?”

Me: “Because I use debit cards.”

Her: “You mean you don’t have a major credit card?”

Me: “That’s right.”

Her: “Well, we’ll keep you in mind for future promotions. Thank you.”

HaHaHa! What happened to all those exciting new benefits they were going to tell me about?



Any of you who are looking for a way to get them off the phone, I stumbled on a way to stifle them.

Another trick when answering the phone of a number you don't recognize is to say sheriffs department, fraud division. Makes for short calls.
 
I remember a few years ago (I believe it is still available on UTube) the person answered the call as if he was a Detective investigating a murder. It was quite humorous.

My husband was actually the elected sheriff of our county for four terms (16 years) before retiring, so we won't be doing that.

This is the reasoning for the username "topcop".
