12 Years, 49 Holidays, and a Lifetime of Memories with Club Mahindra ❤️🌍

[hrish88]

So you mean to say all the 3L members of CM are insane

no my point was sales people dont tell these things at the time of selling the membership.they sell the rosy picture of getting 25 years of holidays.no sane person will buy membership if he/she has been told that we will debit 3 days even if you travel for 1.

This was also mentioned that it will go up every year by the retail CPG inflation rate. I am not defending anything, stating facts - hope you get it (also covered in my post)

my asf was 20K for 20-21.now for in aug 24 its 30K.are you saying inflation increased by 50% in last 4 years.

Sherwood 3 times, no such issue. Last time in December 2020 - yes during Covid - just relaxed for 4 nights.

did you stay in bunglow?i have travelled 2 years after you.so you can not really relate with it.

I believe this is a new associate property

no the resort property is owned by club mahindra.Only villas are owned by different owners.

I am not saying club mahindra ownership is worst.all i am saying you are painting extremely rosy picture which is not true.room booking is hassle and you need to think of lots of permutations and combinations.its not about your or my experience.i was making a general point.

as i have told i may already extracted more value than you.i took 1 Red BR for 4Lac just 3 years prior to you in 2010.also got 32 inch led tv and 2 weeks of international holiday and 1 domestic holiday along with the membership.also i have once saved 2Lac+ on a trip by exchanging club mahindra holidays.also i have got 10 complimentary nights and 5000 RCP.

My point is you need to give a clear picture when recommending something.club mahindra is good only if you are ready to accept all the compromises comes with it.which are many BTW.I believe i have already extracted the membership cost.nowday its all about recouping ASF and still have 10 more years to go.

But will i buy it now in 2025 The answer is No.Its not worth it IMO.

My point being you cannot just call them crooks just because of some dishonest sales guys.

The way their sales pitch is designed (which you yourself confirm is still the same even after 2 decades) cannot be possible by a few "dishonest sales guys". It is clearly designed and orchestrated at the top level of the company, with the sales guys specifically trained to be dishonest and the setup specifically made to confuse and pressurize the intended customer into signing the agreement without giving proper information. Which makes it an organized scam.

I had a vacation in 1st week of March to parts of Rajasthan. As part of the tour, I stayed at one 5 star property at Jodhpur for 7.5K+GST/night and another at Jaipur for 8.4K+GST/night, both on MAP with one extra bed, and other complimentary facilities. As someone indicated, he is required to now pay 30K/year as ASF even after paying a significantly large amount initially, that too with availability as per the sweet will of CM, with quality of room and service that seems to be highly questionable. So the effective per night cost seems exorbitantly high in comparison to the normal market rates.
