Can Starwood hotel reservation staff solicit their employee discounts?
Posted by admin
Someone named Cathy Gillis is claiming to be a starwood employee (its a call center for hotel reservations) and has texted myself and everyone I know in London Ontario trying to get people to email her to use her employee discount. She claims to be supervisor. could this be ligit, or is it probably some marketing scheme? I’ve never had solicitations like this and am very leary
No, they can’t. I got the same text this morning, and then the one tonight saying she was almost fired and would refund the 600+ people who bought it within 24 hrs. It just screams SCAM to me!
And Sara, I’d love to know how whoever it is got my cell phone number too. I never give it out, or use it to sign up for anything. Very odd.

sounds like a fraud to me.
usually to get the discount, you have to show employee id at time of check-in

I have gotten the same texts today as well. I would like to know how this person even got my cell number as I NEVER give it out. I imagine it’s a scam as I just another text saying she almost got fired?!? My aunt works for Starwood, I am going to give her a call!
