Karma Group Membership review needed please

[rj_arora]

Hi all, has anyone been a member of or does anyone know about Karma membership? - https://karmagroup.com/membership/

It's a timeshare program. They are offering 1 week stay in any of their properties (4 members) + 165 points per year for 3 years in exchange for about 1.3L INR. Although redemption varies based on various factors, you can assume that 165 points per year will give around a week's worth of stay for 4 family members.



These are the exact details (I've copied their WhatsApp message) -

Is it worth it? Are there any other memberships that are better or cheaper?

I don't know much about other memberships, but I've heard a lot of Club Mahindra Membership. You may want to check that out.

i might be wrong but such memberships always trigger red flags for me.. investing ur time and points to accor or marriot might be a safer bet.. Accor plus/Accor Signature also a great option

Don't pay 1.35 L upfront for 3 years, later you never get your choice of hotels when plan, they will tell those are already booked even before 5-6 months. Better divide those to 45k per year and happily stay in any 5 star resort for around 9k-10k per night. You will be more than happy.
