I got a telemarketing call from a local camping resort a couple of days ago, no big suprise but Camping World sold them my information. I was eligible for a 2 night stay since I'm a Camping World customer....
Same place and gimmick we encountered??
We dropped into a CW store recently only because we happened to be driving right by. Thought we'd check out what's new and exciting on the shelves (nothing). Faster than we could step into the store, a guy runs over and asks us to fill out a draw for a free gift (can't remember what). Not being our first rodeo, we fill it out but put only our phone no. on it and decline to give them our names or other info. Never anything wrong with winning a "free" gift.
Couple weeks later we get a phone call from someone telling us we won a couple nights free camping in a local CG and a gift card for $50 gas or restaurant meal. Well... We've been down this road before with the same CG org. You have to go to a "presentation" and buy a membership (thousands of $$) to get the "free" gift. The two free nights camping is during the week only, not on holidays and not in the high season. Next to useless. (Their presentations make used car salespeople seem like REALLY nice folks.) I politely tell the lady we used to be members and aren't interested because of all the trouble we had in the past. She says "may I ask why?" I said we explained all the issues to management, nothing ever changed and that we sold out and would never go back. Then I hung the phone up. Click!
Too bad I can't post a few expletives here to describe what I think of this sort of thing. Pretty scummy to say the least.
