My husband and I have received no less than 6 calls in the past month from callers claiming to be from El Cid asking if we are interested in selling or renting our weeks. We keep saying no thank you, we like our time share and look forward to many more weeks in the years ahead. We bought Fairfield Points at El Cid, like the fact that we bought right to use and the contract will expire when we are older and no longer interested in yearly maintenence fees, etc. Just wondering it any others have gotten these calls. Is it El Cid trying to get back the Fairfield obligations??

Say yes and you will find out what they want. Chances are they will want an upfront fee to "rent" your weeks for you.
 
I got one such call...hubby took it & I didn't want to talk to them. But the phone has been ringing in the evenings (I usually screen calls) so it might be El Cid marketing again. I am curious about what their ploy is...so I think I'll take their call next time. Will post here if I learn anything that would actually be beneficial to we "owners" of El Cid/Wyn pts.
 
Getting rid of those pesky telemarketers

You can register your phone at donotcall.gov and they won't be able to call you anymore.

You can also request to be taken off their phone lists and they are required to do so.
 
I was recently contacted but they were just offering some specials for 5 nights AI-probably trying to make-up for the lower tourist volume.
 
Not correct...

Not true. Any entity with which someone already has a business relationship is exempt from compliance with "do not call". This includes your bank, your credit card company --- and your timeshare resort(s).
You can ask them not to call and maybe they will respect that request, but registration with the "do not call" lists gives you no shield at all in those instances where a business relationship with the caller already exists.
