Description

Amanda Robinson called and left a message about a way to use "unused Interval International" guest certificates to rent our Marriott timeshare property in Williamsburg, VA rather than just let the certificates expire. She left her personal number (321) 252-0388 and a toll free "guest member services" number to call her back (800) 217-5040 for more information. I called back and she ("Amanda") detailed how there was high demand from conference planners in the Williamsburg area for properties for their conference goers. As Marriott and Interval members, we had 12 guest certificates, good for one week at our property, to use per year - if we paid 399. for each certificate, we could recoup 1,600 in rent for that week. They would send a contract; we would authorize a charge on our credit card after we signed the contract; we had ten days to cancel. "Amanda" transferred us to three other people, each person had a different title "accounts specialist" "contract specialist" - and they all used the terms and language of Interval, Marriott, and timeshares "deeded weeks," "deposits," "in-season" "high season" and more. They emailed us a contract to sign. It all looked and sounded legit. But we should have asked more questions, OR called Interval or Marriott Timeshares. A few weeks later when we called the numbers, they were disconnected. The website is sketchy, and no longer allows us to log in with the name and password they originally sent us. We lost $1,600 to these dirtbags.
