The marketing managers were forcing on paying ~1.6 lakhs there but fortunately, I didn't have limit on my credit card. Later, We also paid one of...

Sterling membership

I'm writing this based on my 1 year experience of Sterling membership.
Being a member I have tried booking the Sterling resorts couple of times and every time it's rejected saying room are not available. However, I can book the same room on same dates from any aggregator like MMT.

Then what's point of membership ?

They have tricky polices also to defend it, like only 60-70% rooms are reserved for members...
