Constant Calls from RCI

[beejaybee]

We never pick up, but RCI calls our landline every day, sometimes more than once a day and as early as 8am and late as 9pm. Grrr!
My membership obtained via a South African timeshare purchase shortly after the turn of the century expires in June so I suspect these calls are to get me to renew. Not sure we will.
Thanks for reading! Anyone else bombarded by RCI?

If you're being bombarded it probably isn't RCI calling you, more likely scammers of some kind, saying they are from RCI. Is it a verified RCI number calling?

Anyone else bombarded by RCI?

Yes and not just RCI. When our membership was close to expiring RCI called at least 4 or 5 times a week to get us to renew. If I look at possible exchanges but dont book anything a rep will call to ask why I havent booked or if they can help. Then there are the other timeshare tour or vacation calls. And as I have said on here, and the TUG FB page, numerous times, those calls always speed up right after I have any contact with RCI. It doesnt matter if call or do something online or if its booking a vacation, renewing our membership, changing our address (we changed to be US members last spring) or just to ask a question about a booking or resort. I am convinced RCI is selling it's member information.

This. We have calls every day and RCI leaves messages saying we need to renew our membership. I guess I should answer one of the calls and renew.

I just deleted 3 voice mails from my old cellphone. They all arrived in the last 10 days, I guess. They all refer to "Unused bonus vacation" or something similar, but don't say "RCI". They're generally garbled and I didn't try hard to decipher before I deleted. RCI?

Not RCI. Those are scammers.

I'm getting hammered by 'Wyndham Travel' and we have zero association with them, or any upcoming reservations. I just ignore the calls.

Our RCI is expiring near the end of this month. They have been calling daily for weeks.

I was at RCI for more than 25 years. They don't mess around with Personal identifiable information. The amount of information shared and how it is shared is much different than it was 20 years ago. The attorneys and leadership are highly cognizant of the requirements to safeguard this information. There are many things they do wrong but, I don't believe for a moment they are sharing data at that level with other companies.
