i do not think Club Mahindra is running a racket. But they hire marketing agents to sell the timeshare and these agents hide and conceal the cost and other charges to lure client. Club Mahindra should be held responsible for the actions of such agents I would rather pay the full amount and stay at the Hotel without any booking ristrictions Besides there are many sites available to book hotels which offer 30 40 % discounts. Working in the marketing field I would advice people to stay away from timeshare schemes. Rahul Daswani Mumbai
