enj2012 Posted January 7, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 7, 2014 When I got home today in my mail was this post card saying my husband has won a RC 8 day cruise for 2. I'm kind of skeptical on it and didn't want to call if its crap. Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spa girl nana Posted January 7, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 7, 2014 If I got it, I'd call RCL before opening it, just in case it is an attachment with a nasty little virus attached to it. Hope it is real, please report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spa girl nana Posted January 7, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Sorry, I misread your post. Was snail mail, not email. Well I'd read all the fine print and hunt for the advertising gimmick, then call. Edited January 7, 2014 by Spa girl nana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvseaair Posted January 7, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hi No harm in contacting RCI direct as they would certainly know of the existance of any competition and better to check with them, than really be scammed. Usually if it's a scam there will be an instruction to call a premium rate number to claim your prize which puts money in the fraudsters pocket. A bonefide competition win should not include this requirement. Hoping you have won something.

Ashland Posted January 7, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Doubt RCI would be contacting you via "postcard"...We've gotten these too :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call RCI (not any number on the card) and ask them to be sure: 866-562-7625 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enj2012 Posted January 7, 2014 Author #9 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I got it also. Threw it away... I'm going to call RC but I'll probably end up doing the same. Just dying for a cruise with low funds :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HesterMofet Posted January 7, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Most likely a scam. They say you've won a cruise and then when you call you have to pay port fees and taxes UP FRONT. That doesn't sound too bad until they tell you that you need to give them three dates you can go. Oh, darn! Nothing available on anything during that time unless you upgrade and end up paying list price for the whole thing. If you don't pay for the upgrade and let the time lapse (you have a year to take the cruise) then they keep the taxes and port fees. DH won a three day cruise in a charity auction we attended and that turned out to be the scam. Actually, I should thank them because DH then promised me a cruise and that's what got us on our first RCI FOS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
