We were on the road yesterday, returning to Northern VA from Nashville when I got a strange call from someone about being able to be reimbursed for unused RCI and Wyndham points (or something like that).

We were going north on I-81, trying to compete with all the trucks on the road, and I was about to tell the caller to buzz [euphemism] off but my wife waved me off. I'm expecting a call on Monday with more information.

Sounds like pure, unadulterated BS but I guess I'm committed to at least take the call.

I'm betting that is not RCI, but rather someone who has a long list of people just chomping at the bit to rent rooms with your unused timeshare assets. You just have to pay a few dollars for some reason or another first.

I was thinking I could come up with about 3 ways they angle their pitch and none of them are legitimate.
