[Resolved]  Club Mahindra Holidays — Non-Availability of Rooms

I am red season member of CM. I have been calling Club mahindra for a vacation for 25th-31st december 2009(six months in advance). The response I get is:
1. This time slot is marked for purple members only.
2. You will get a chance to book only 15 days in advance.
3. You cannot upgrade to purple membership, because that is sold out.
4. For resorts where the red season is till 28th, it is completely booked and we cannot offer booking, although we can try...
5. We can offer you booking in one of the resorts up north(where it would be cold, but it gives you a different feel..)

I requested to be connected with the supervisor, after 3 unsuccessful attempts, each time providing my member id, and authentication details. I was connected. He was better spoken, but he admitted that CM is infact running short of rooms and they'd fix the problem in near future.

SO, PLEASE BEWARE OF ALL THESE POINTS BEFORE BUYING HOLIDAYS IN CM.
1. THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH ROOMS
2. THEY ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH DUE DILIGENCE TO SEE WHICH RESORTS ARE IN MOST DEMAND AND HOW THEY SHOULD INCREASE CAPACITY.
3. THEY HAVE A INSENSITIVE CUSTOMER SERVICE(I WAS TOLD THAT FOR THE PURPLE SEASON, I WOULD NOT EVEN BE TOLD THE AVAILABILITY, SINCE I WAS NOT PRIVILEGED ENOUGH..)

I strongly feel that this company is a sham. It is shocking that it belongs to the Mahindra group. If Mr. Anand Mahindra is listening or reading he should take cognisance that there is no customer relationship at all. There is no one to attend to the queries and the call center personnel dont know what they are doung. Email queries are never attended to. The only thing they are prompt is in making your life miserable annually in collecting the fees. I think that the high court should sou moto proceed against them for cheating individuals by publishing glamorous ads.
CLUB MAHINDRA HOLIDAYS IS A 100% CHEATING CLUB .WE SHOULD TAKE IT VERY SERIOSLY .FROM 72000 ( SEVENTY TWO THOUSAND) MEMBERS THEY HAVE COLLECTED MORETHAN 1000CRORE RUPEES ALSO THEY ARE COLLECTING 72CRORE RUPEES EVERY YEAR.

WITH TWENTY RESORT HOW CAN THEY SERVE 72000 MEMBERS WITH SEVEN DAYS PACKAGE.ONLY FEW RESORT ONLY THEY HAVE 100 ROOMS.IN KODAI THEY HAVE 16 ROOMS, IN OOTY THEY HAVE ONLY EIGHT, IN BANKOK THEY HAVE SIX ROOMS.MOST OF THE PROPERTIES ARE TYUP ONLY AND NOW THEY ARE PLANING TO FLOT SHARE AND CHEAT PUBLIC
