The Beach Club at St. Augustine Beach, FL (1 floating week, purchased in 1982)
77,000 RCI points (Sunrise Ridge Resort, TN)
For the last several years every time I make a transaction (renewing membership, exchanging, booking Extra or Last Call weeks) with RCI online we are inundated with timeshare solicitations for the next week or so. I wonder if RCI is selling our contact info or is there some type of program that gets triggered when we make a transaction that spits out names and telephone numbers to a 3rd party? It is really ticking me off!!
I booked an Extra week during RCI's sale earlier this week and we have just had our 7th call (on Good Friday even!) from a timeshare sales person since that transaction. They are not all from the same company and not for the same area. Yesterday I had 3 calls and the one at 6pm (as we were eating dinner) got a very rude response from me! A guy earlier in the day insisted that we had used our Mastercard (he gave me the last 4 numbers of it) to purchase an $800 travel voucher for timeshare stays and hadn't used it yet. I told him we are very careful with our money and would never spend that amount on something and not use it. DH thinks I should contact RCI and change our telephone number in their records to an invalid telephone number like a fax line or payphone.
Does anybody else have this happen?
