Committing for 25 year membership for few years RCI benefits does not look good idea to me.

If you are going for first time there probably you will like to visit as many places possible rather then relaxing for 7 days in a resort.

As you have been aware of this product for some time now, you will be better judge of your situation. Buy it in second sell, so that if you have

Excellent article. I actually almost went ahead and had sessions with them- may be around 2-3 times over a span of 4-5 years... but backed out each time!

This time, I called them with the agenda of utilizing their RCI affiliation- since I will be in Europe on a long term assignment.

Am I doing right?

'm still in dilema whether to go for Club Mahindra or Country Club? Could you throw some more light on Country Club Membership.
Thank You.

Hi All, I have faced the same problem. I just happend to fill in a coupon and then all the things that people have shared happend to me as well. I am in Kuwait, and i have paid KD. 1375/- (rs. 2,30,000/-) for the 25 year membership. On receving my Member card the sales executive told me that she would be giving me a 3N holiday at Dubai, and said to confirm the date I wish to travel. Now on

Hi Shrinidhi,

Somethings never change!! Good thing is CM is consistent in their poor customer service!!

I am also the one who got trapped and really feel like getting out of it. Please help me understand the process to take refund of the money already paid. I could not use the facility once and seriouslly thinking of taking the money back.

Hi Shrinidhi,
Thanks for sharing your comments on CM pros and cons.
there is one time share called qnet which also offers better options than CM.Do you have any comments and idea regarding this product.

2011-08-16T23:19:21.823+05:30

ask your credit card company not to owner EMI or cancel your card.

Write Mahindra Holidays' MD about it and ask to cancel your membership and refund of money.

If they give your money back good otherwise forget or fight it.

Hi Nidhi,

I am the latest addition to thier DUPED list. My wife got a free coupon for 2days/3Nights. The same thing happened (as mentioned in your posts), this guy made us sit for a presentation. My wife was really thrilled at the mere idea of it. We ended up paying the downpayment (27,000/-). The real shock came after about a month, when we wanted to use the free voucher. DAMN, the

2011-07-30T08:04:12.505+05:30

Yes, i agree with the author. Mahindra does not provide value for money :

1. It always reports room not available when the member wants and they sell the same in makemytrip.com.

2. They charges the non member visitor at the rate of 1100 inr per day and the daily rate as per makemytrip.com is 5000 for example for a place in shimla

Ankur:
I'm not actively following CM and don't have their latest rate card. If you provide me a scanned copy I'll be happy to update the post with credit.

Vijay: CM having tent accommodation in some resorts is news to me. Thanks for sharing your update. As suggested by Anon, did you escalate?

Hi Shrinidhi. Congratulations for the great job!! I think you should update the Rate card displayed in your blog. They have revised the rates with effect from 1st April 2011. For eg. White Studio now costs Rs 2,75,002 instead of 2,65,702 mentioned in the blog. Regards

Vijay, you should write a letter to their CEO, and ask for refund for your days.

If you just raise your complain on their feedback id .. they just say sorry! and wash-off their hands.

I am Vijay Kumar, holding Club Mahindra Blue studio Membership.I booked myself for their new Nawalgarh Resort for2nd and 3rd July 2011. On reaching there I was offered accomodation in Tent.I was told that no room was available. I had no other option but to accept. The tent was in bad shape.Hot water kettel was not working and no replacement was provided.AC was of vintage edition and

2011-07-09T07:05:59.488+05:30

Ajay: Agree, there can be savings if all go as per plan... Just that CM has no commitment on availability and this can cripple your options and flexibility.

Also, hotel rates do not always increase every year. They charge high during peak season and charge much lower in lean seasons. You can also get good deals at times in package tours, corporate discounts etc

Hi enidhi Its been awhile since I wrote something, but must congratulate you once again for the most elaborate and detailed analysis of club mahindra timeshare membership. I would very much agree with what you have written in todays context. The escalating prices and the value for money, I think it would no longer be feasible to join CMH with the current set up. Would still like to to state the

Hi niddi its really very nice thing you are doing. I am holding the blue studio membership and interrested in selling it now. also I feel very bad about my friends which i had referred and they join. The properties are really good but to just rest and think how much money we are westing.

2011-03-10T20:34:34.340+05:30

Jerry: I agree that money is not the sole factor. But then, most of the people to whom these memberships are sold are middle class people and they are primarily value for money seekers.

Will be great if sales folks give clear picture of all cost components. membership base etc at the time of initial presentation.

Many also fail to get bookings as per their choice n preference

The problem with holidaying is that if you don't go for it, you don't know what you have missed. Same with CM
I have been holidaying with them for last 5 years and have always got my reservations. As for planning your holiday, it is always the case whether its CM or some hotel, you need to plan.
I also believe that with holidays, just counting money is a very narrow view. You

As far as I know Zest and CM are treated as two different entities, managed by different set of people.

Believing sales people without cross checking or written assurance can be big trouble
