I just received a phone call from a person with "Vistana/Interval International" advising that I have unused "bonus time" with Interval and asking if I was interested in "renting it for profit." I thought is smelled fishy. Any thoughts on whether or not this is legit?

Yup. II would never call you and ask you to rent out their getaways. II doesn't even refer to their getaways as Bonus Time.

You didn't bother to ask them how much they wanted to list your time?

Did not. Said I wasn’t interested and hung up. But I figured if it was legit there would be a way to initiate the transaction from my end.

Got a call today - showed up as "resort Access" on the caller ID. The same story - they were calling from Vistana/II and were wanting me to book getaways/AC's for them to rent out. I asked the person if he was from II why he didn't just rent those weeks out directly since in theory they were in II's inventory.

He hung up.
