Just got woken up by a very rude lady who said she was with Hoilday Inn and wanted to give me a 3 day stay somewhere. I said no thanks and she kept right on talking, not letting me get a word in edgewise. I finally yelled "I'm not interested and you're using up my minutes!" to which she replied "Well you answered the phone!" yeah I did and now I'm hanging up in your face wench!
I got a call from this number twice, while I was in a meeting. I called back, and she was offering a 3 day vacation supposedly from Holiday inn. She told me accurately the day I stayed at a Holiday Inn, my old address, my e-mail address, and some other misc information. I don't know how she got it. She wanted to give me some discount on the vacation if I gave her my credit card number.
I explained I would look into it online later and call back, but she insisted I couldn't get "the discount" unless it was at that specific call. Red flag went off, hung up the phone. I should have been more assertive; these scumbags feed off of polite people.
Dear G M
As a long time user of Holiday Inn, I called 888 211 9874, where after entering my Rewards Account # and Pin, I spoke to a representative named "XXX"
He was very gracious and professional, and confirmed that these calls from 417-520-1276 were indeed on on behalf of Holiday Inn Promotions
On this recorded call, XXX noted my request that these calls cease
Last spring, I had to do the same thing with a medical supply company
Thank you for confirming that these calls must have been at the request of Holiday Inn, facilitating hopefully a fix at the root cause level
Regards
Roy C .
