RCI offering free combination with deposit

So, I just called RCI and was told that I needed a reference number in order to get my week extended for free, when making a deposit. Of course, I don't have a reference number to give them......

Interesting. I just looked at the postcard I got and there was no reference number on it. In fact all I had to do was call them after I made my deposits. There must have been something "marked" on my account showing I was eligible. The postcard also said that RCI would call me after I'd made the deposits, but I wanted to be proactive.

To be honest, I don't know if I received a postcard, or email from RCI with this offer, since I never read any of the stuff they send me. Oh well, now I wish that I had.

I told them that I'd get back to them. I'm going to go and look around, to see if by chance, I have anything hanging around from them. Oy!

I did not get any notice in any form.

I just called and said all my buds were doing it.

So they let me.

Going to try this next week, I have a few I could combine but was going to wait until Novemeber, but for free I would do it now.

Pat, in order to take advantage of this offer you have to make a new deposit (I think it has be be new) before 3/29/13. This is what it said on my postcard:

"And, through 3/29/13, you can deposit a week and combine it with your Deposit Credit for FREE!"

Angela, if you'd gotten a postcard I think RCI should have had the information that you were eligible on your account. As I said, I wasn't asked to provide any code or proof I'd gotten it. I did say when I called, after making the deposits, that I'd gotten the postcard and asked if they could combine the credits for me.

And as I said earlier I had deposited, had a deposit of 2 or 3, talked to the CHAT agent and called 2 different phone agents all of who told me after checking my account that I had no offers available for a free combine and if I wanted to combine would have to pay $109. I was told that only members who had codes in their accounts could combine for free. Maybe it is because I don't pay for my weeks account it comes with the points account. I don't know. Has anyone who has received the offer or used the offer had an RCI weeks account through Wyndham or through RCI points or have they all been stand alone member paid RCI weeks accounts.



I did get the bonus resort cert for travel within 45 days (must pay $199 exchange fee) - at also can't pull anything that would normally go for more than 12 even within 45 day. It isn't at all useful to me.

Oh yeah, I'm excited . . . it's an opportunity to be able to do once what we did 3-6 times a year for more than 20 years, 130 times altogether.



Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot. I'm not spose to keep bringing that up.

But, let's get real. They take away, take away, take away, and take away. Then, when we get a pittance back, we get jacked sideways.



FWIW, WYN has gone up 78% since it split off from Cendant.

Thanks to this thread, I was able to get the free combine using my Wydham account. My deposits were made within the required time period but I did not receive a postcard announcing the promotion. I appreciate the tip and hope they keep coming.

I'm glad you were able to use it! This was pretty much on the DL, not nearly as well publicized as their "discount getaways."
