Country Holidays Inn & Suites — not refunding the amount

Address:Noida, New Delhi, Delhi

We were shopping in stanmax where someone came distributing the chis lucky draw coupons. We casually gave our name and contact details believing that they are advertising in reputed mall so might be the reliable one to give details. After two days we got the call on 8-april-2019 to collect the coupons from radisson. We went there, attended 45 mins session, which was total waste of time, in lieu of giving the coupons. Its there where they started luring with their properties and offers to sell the membership to us (Shoib khan being our rm for the same). Since its not much of time went off, so we do remember each of false statements marked by them
- availability of 4500+ properties nationally and internationally
- easy booking facility
- atleast 4-5 options in every listed city

We were really prompted to take the decision there and then only and leave after making full of the payment as its their policy. We told if we can give the payment in two halves. Rm persuade us to give payment in full and that he can then give us more of the discount. So from rs.2, 00, 000 (Apprx) he offered us same membership in rs.1, 65, 000 (A complete marketing strategy). Somehow he managed to convince us and then making some of the payment through debit card, when we asked him to give rest of the amount next day itself, he offered us to be accompanied by a person to our home to collect the wholesome of payment. We got the payment receipt two days later and that too after asking for it quite no of time. Now i question

- how come chis sent a person to accompany to our home to collect payment even after 10.30 pm and when we wanted booking, no one was there to respond and we kept on waiting for days? I mean, they have people to collect money even late night but they cannot respond or book even if you make 100 calls a day.

- why is that our rm is not available when we were about to book our holiday? I mean, for initial two days, we kept on calling or texting him but he gave 0 response.

- when chis have properties nationally and internationally too, why we were forced to accept the poorest of the property in our holiday? I mean, in the off season of place when the tourist count to minimal at the place; we didn't got the property we wanted even after sharing our preference. Chis told us its non-availability but as we checked from our end, it was definitely and easily available. They gave us only single option to choose from giving us no benefit of choosing.

- why there is no single point of contact while making booking? I mean, from day 1, we kept on calling rm, then chis customer care. People there rolled us from one to other. We were getting single response a day. Furthermore, person out there responded when we made numerous requests to them to respond. And all this exhausted us well enough.

- why we were asked of extra amount of breakfast when we didn't wanted breakfast to be inclusive? I mean, they told us that paying for breakfast is mandatory but as we refused it they accepted to not charge.

Thrashed by our whole experience, as we decided to terminate our membership and checked for formalities on chis website, we followed necessary steps and validated our point of termination. They are now not initiating the termination. They are rather getting us stuck under mail chains for the single issues. We have proofs of our each point said. I don't know now if something else to be followed for terminating the membership. We are highly fed up, any help will be highly appreciated.

As we received the call from some Senior Manager of CHIS, we went through the same discussion we had already did in the form of calls or mails and doing from past a month now. The person was continually asking us for a validate reason and was stuck on two point of opposition - What problem we faced in the booked hotel and Why we opted for the hotel if we didn't liked it. He however advised us - You should have seen the photos on Google before going on holiday, etc etc. Sir, if you are reading this, we have already told you thousands number of times that we were given only single option to choose from and that too when we had made like 50 calls to CHIS people, from one end of contact to another, going to and fro just to get our booking. Apart from that, you were like hell in terms of communication and other sorts of favor one wants from their travel agents. Hotel was although fine, our pain area is your service. On these terms, we don't want the CHIS membership and had initiated the process just the way mentioned on the website. Now, how the man who conversed with us yesterday is arguing of this not being their policy.
We know the frauds of the company now when it is happening with us, the false statements were made and service is worst and poorest. We are not at all willing to continue with you under lieu of entire scenario. Good if you can tell us the procedure to follow.
(Note : I've attached the refund policy statements and the mail chain we are already suffering with that had bone-tired us to go on other ways)

Dear Member, as per your discussion with our senior manager..it has been assured you that the services and amenities would be best and the services which has been enjoyed by you were also of good status as mentioned by you above and in case of any discomfort in terms of service at hotel the respective managers/head should have been/should be contacted so that it should have been taken care/managed as per your satisfaction.

CHIS representative, we are tired of any favors from you.
Yes, you must have read the comment above but I'm sure you haven't noticed the pain areas we mentioned in our complaint. Hotel was fine, services were fine; but it worth the charges we had paid you. Adding on, do you want us to screenshot each mail and call log we had with CHIS people? Why are you targeting us on the point that we have chosen hotel and that services were given. Let me remind you again (for the 31st time again), we have given no option to choose from. Secondly, why you asked us to pay extra for breakfast against our willingness, we resisted and just because of that you accepted, else the person was guiding us this to be mandatory according to your so called clauses, which is written nowhere. Thirdly, no value of money we have seen in hotel booked. The hotel we asked to book was having the availability, just tell us, why we denied booking there?
Not on any assurance from you we want to continue with CHIS. You are draining us on the matter of refunding and trying to superimpose just two points on us as you don't have valid points to state. We just want refund and no more promises from you. Its already much of time we are requesting, try to respect our patience.

We have complaints and issues against CHIS and its services and not from the hotel or personnel out there. And you stated that we should have contacted to our respective manager in case of dissatisfaction - So please read the complaint again, we called the Relationship Manager(RM) ample no of times, he was not available anywhere and anytime. Please refer to your employee chain if you think our words are not worth marking.

I feel, you guys are not connected in your company. Each one of you have different stories to tell us. Just let me know with whom we discussed about the staff service. From the very start we are saying the same thing to one person or other from CHIS. This would be the last update on this complaint since I cannot repeat the same story 100 times more. We are fed up from your vague responses everytime. We cannot handle the mindless people sitting there anymore. Your best service has already been experienced by us and we are not willing to continue with you on any terms. You was not listening to us on mails and had to follow this way. And if this platform too is not enough, we are ready to go another way. Its just another form of harrasment. You guys are completely umprofessional. We still requesting you to refund.
