Great Holiday Club — Deceptive Marketing ploy -Great Holiday Club

The company used an offer of a) 2 free PVR movie tickets, b) an online shopping discount voucher and c) a complimentary 3 nights/4 days stay at any Great Holiday Club hotel to intice customers to attend a 45 minute presentation at MGF Saket to sign up for a "1 day only" offer for 10 year membership.

While I did not sign up for the offer itself, I would also strongly urge others to avoid this gimmick to attend the presentation. Firstly, they promised to give me the movie tickets over email in 48 hours but later claim to not have any left when I myself followed up. Second, there is an additional administrative fee of 3000 rupees for their offer of 'free' stay for 3 nights and 4 days apart from several other conditions (e.g not usable on weekends, public holidays, etc). Third, they are very aggressive during the presentation asking you to sign up for a "1 day only" offer of membership. Despite patiently hearing them out and conveying my decision after 45 minutes, the agents continued the presentation for nearly 1.5 hours before only partially providing the promised vouchers (b) and c)) and revealing the hidden costs.

Overall, this experience has created a very poor impression of Great Holiday Club for me. Based on complaints in this forum they seem to have deceived others with respect to memberships but now they also seem to be deceiving people who might consider giving 45 minutes of their time for the promised vouchers.

Strongly urge people to stay away from them and their marketing gimmick!

Dear friends, I do have my similar 'bitter' experiences which I would like to share. The kind of enthusiasm these guys have showed me on phone by explaining their 3 wonderful offers (first a 4 days and 3 nights stay gift voucher, secondly with a discount voucher on electronic appliances, lastly on free movie tickets) has been totally reversed after attending the session and coming back home. I was promised that I would be given the free movie ticket vouchers and the online purchase discount voucher by e-mail and from hereon all the drama has started. I have stored the contact numbers of all the team who have called me till I attended their session but now none of these phones respond properly. They cut the phone instantly and put in switch-off mode or sometimes the phone is busy and then immediately when it rings they watch the number and do not lift. Is this what the Club trying to enact with their false promises? I ask the Great Holiday Club team and its owner, are you trying to cheat people these kind of acts? I wonder how come this sort of a company has been running since 25 years with silver jubilee celebrations????
Dear customers, be careful...I wasted my time in getting into hands of wrong people and wrong promises. Thank god, atleast I didn't take their 10 year package offer. I should have been crying more had I taken that offer by paying the amount instantly thereon...
