I've received numerous calls this morning advising that my QFF Number has been selected to receive a $999 credit. The call starts with an automated voice recording and connects to an overseas call center. I immediately triggered this to be a scam of some sort and ended the call. But the process has reoccurred a couple more times this morning.
The interesting thing is that the call is coming in on a number only connected to my QFF profile. Mrs DM, also a QFF, has also received the same call this morning.
Called the QFF Service Center to check the validity of the promotion... And they confirm that this isn't a legitimate call.
Of the joy of internet bookings, shared loyalty programs, etc. Not sure that I'd actually connected the following dots... Adding my QFF number to a hotel booking means that the hotel has access to my data within the QFF program (phone numbers and maybe more)... Makes sense when I stop and think about it, just hadn't thought through the implications of it.
Be aware all you points chasers out there... Where's your data ending up!
